Candice has done it AGAIN!

I am just amazed at my wonderfully talented daughter. Am I lucky or what? She has such a talent for design, no matter what art she is mastering! I love these new digital designs she created. The colors are so brilliant and striking! I was just feeling a little stunted with my own creativeness with my charm designs and then Candice came up with these new digital sheets. I am so excited to show my wholesale customers and list these AWESOMELY Stunning designs in my Etsy store.

Initial Designs from Candy!

I have pestered Candice on a regular basis for graphic designs for special request charms from my customers. I'm sure she hates to open an email from me, knowing it is work (freebie style), from mom. I am so excited to announce the opening of her new etsy store, featuring digital designs for charms, scrabble tiles, domino, etc. Now when I need a new design, I can look at her store, first, and if I do request a new design; at least she can use them and make money on them!

I needed some new initial designs for a wholesale client and she got right to work. I love the crispness and color combos! The zebra with hot pink initials are TDF!

If you are into soldering, scrabble tile pendants, etc. Take a look at her store, the link is on the right "Eye Candy Etsy Store". You will love her work!

Little Princess Soldered Charms

I always maintain that some of my best charms are created from customer ideas! I recently had an awesome customer, who always seems to have an endless supply of grand and creative ideas, ask me for a small glitter crown charm for a toddler. That got the creative juices flowing and I started thinking of some cute little girl charms.

As always, more pictures of these charms are on my etsy store site. Just click on the Bchic Designs Etsy Store link to the right.

Hot ~ Sassy ~ Juicy Charms

I just listed and will be listing more, very HOT and SASSY soldered charms! I am in love with hot pink/Black/white combination right now! Seems like I am drawn to those three color combinations in all my projects, as of late. They are so striking together. I have also been experimenting with heaver glitter, using a crystal clear glitter. I really love the look, it makes the charms sparkle and dazzle. Add some embellished bling and WOW!

Here are a few pictures of the new designs. To view more pictures and see all the new charm designs, go to my etsy store by clicking on the Bchic Designs Etsy link to the right of my blog.

Shadow Box Charms ~ All the Rage!

I have been doing a lot of the Shadow Box Charms in my shop, they seem to be all the rage at the moment. The only problem is that my wholesale clients have been wanting them also and I can't always find the same blingy charms to go inside. I need to find a wholesale outlet for the bling, for sure.

Right now, every where I go, I look for necklaces, earrings, etc. that have bangle. If I can find a bracelet with several charms, I feel I have hit the jackpot! Tilley's has been a fantastic place to find trendy and fun bling at a fantastic price. The thicker charms don't work as well, so I tried something new and glued the bling on the outside of the soldered box. An example is on the Betsey Johnson style necklace I created.

Glitter Box Charms and more!

I am adding a lot of NEW charms to my etsy store. I had a wholesale customer who wanted some glitter charms. So, you know me, I go get glitter and try my hand at it. I swear, the best ideas for charms come from my customers. The Breakfast at Tiffany's charm was a huge hit, and they have been flying out the door!

So, Now I will be offering GLITTER CHARMS. These are a few of the new designs I will be listing this next week, in my etsy store.

~ Other New Charms ~

I also did some new Blingy, Crystal and Silver charms in a Shadow Box Charm and a New stacked glass 3D Eiffel Tower Charm with a Zebra background. I really like the way they turned out, they are very DRAMATIC!

New Items for my Home Store

I have had so many wholesale charm orders, lately, I haven't been able to work on getting my Etsy Home Decor store going. I am not complaining, mind you! I am very thankful for the success of my charm business. It is the bread and butter. I had a break in charm orders, so first, I cleaned my House. Ha Then I worked a whole day on frames and boxes for my home store. I really enjoy making the boxes and frames. I feel my creativeness exploding when I design them. A lot of the charm design is digital design, which is fun, but the frames and boxes, I get to create with my eyes, hands and imagination. I love that.

I wanted to share a frame and box I just added to my Etsy Home Store. I really LOVE the way the Fleur de lis Frame turned out. I want to keep it! When I have a few extra moments, I might have to make one for myself. Ha, what a laugh, who am I kidding?

New Initial Charms

Candice designed these new initial graphics for my charms. They are simple and dramatic at the same time. I love the way the round charms turned out. This is the first time I have attempted circle charms. A little bit of a challenge to keep the solder smooth. Candice is going to start an etsy store for her graphic digital designs. I am so excited, because her work is so unique and awesome! I know she will do well with her store.

New Collage Box Charms

What is it that draws us to something Vintage? I love to go into an antique mall and browse for hours (to my hubby's dismay). My grandmother had a very small house in Prescott, Arizona, that had a total of four very small rooms and one bath. One whole room was devoted to her "Treasures". Little figurines, cups and saucers, old lace, etc., from times gone by. I remember her old cookie jar the best, where she kept her "little money", hidden so the passing Gypsies wouldn't discover it there. What wonderful memories I have of that special little room of Grandmothers! The nostalgia of vintage is such a draw to our hearts.


I love the look of Vintage in Box Charms, using old photos, vintage adds, etc. I wanted to share a few of my new Soldered Box charms I created, in memory of Grandmother's special little room, in a vintage collage style. A couple are from memories from my childhood days, the Dollie on the car hood (she's quite sassy LOL) and the "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which is now vintage (which means I am old LOL).

Candice's new Charm Designs

Candice (my baby girl) is so handy with photoshop and graphic design. Don't know where she gets her talent from. I have been begging her to design some graphics for some soldered charms. Her free time is rare, as she juggles her jewelry design business, graphic card design orders, plus being a very involved mom of four very busy children. She fit mom in, and I wanted to share my new soldered charm designs she did for me. Can't wait to list them in my etsy shop.

New Soldered Box Charms

I have been working on some new Soldered Box Style Charms that I have used blingy charms inside the box. I really enjoy making these, and the possibilities are unlimited. My favorite is the "Key to My Heart" charm. There is something mysterious and symbolic about keys. I have always loved vintage keys, as it makes the mind imagine what does this key unlock. Symbolically, keys have been tied to unlocking the heart. Leave a comment, and tell me which is your favorite and why!

The Winner IS!

I was going to post the winner, first thing this morning, but had some unexpected company come down and stay the night. (A good, life long friend from Prescott) So I have been entertaining.
Now, down to business! I felt the fair thing to do would be to have my DH draw the name. Sooooooooo.......Drum roll please! LOL

The winner is PAM!

Thanks to everyone that commented, and for all the possitive, kind words. I wil do this again in the future, maybe with one of my boxes!

Pam, you mentioned 3 different charms, email me at sassiestyle@hotmail.com and I tell me which one you want and your address, so I can send you your charm!
Congrads!

Tomorrow is the Deadline!

Tomorrow, I will be drawing the winner of my Soldered Charm Pendant giveaway. If you haven't posted a comment to be in the running, today is the last day. DA DA DA DA LOL Thanks for all your great comments!

New Soldered Box Charm Giveaway!

I love designing and trying something new, giving a little twist to something I have done before. All my stacked Box Charms, in the past, have been done with flat glass, sanwiched style. This time I desided to do some 3D style Box Charms with a new twist, adding Beveled glass to the front of the charm. I really Love the way they look. I think beveled glass gives such richness and depth to a charm. I Love these new designs, also!










My favorite is the cupid style angel with the leopard like butterfuly wings. Enter my free Charm give away, by leaving a comment on which charm is your favorite, and why! I will be announceing the winner on my blog!
