I think these must be among my top favorite embellishments that I have discovered in the past few months! I just adore these little pins! So fun and easy to work with…they make a great addition to most projects. I love their fresh look! The new Fashion Sense Pins from Fancy Pants Designs are so darling…I just want to have them all. Each package comes with 32 pins. There are 6 different selections available and in each one…4 pin-head designs and 4 different colors. The Sassy, Playhouse, Harvest and Splash pins have color combos to span the seasons. Tis the Season and With Love Pins are more seasonal in nature and have darling little shapes and colors to their packages.

How to Use

If you’ve never added pins to your designs, they are very easy to use. The pins can be held with ribbon, buttons, slid into chipboard or through felt, and are a great embellishment to work in with other types of embellishments. A cluster if you will. These pins sell for around $5.99 US and I know if you buy one package, you’ll definitely be back for more.
Where to Find

• I purchased my pins at my local scrapbook store… The Scrapbook Studio. I love their great selection.
• You can also purchase these Fancy Pants Fashion Sense pins on-line at various retailers

Holiday Wishes, Loving Kisses

I started off this design by wanting to try out a new stamp set from Kitchen Sink Stamps. I love this darling Three-step Mistletoe. What a great, flexible Christmas set and it has darling sentiments to go along with it too! The Purely Pomegrant, Bashful Blue and Old Olive color combo is pulled from this darling Striped Christmas paper from Webster’s Pages. I just love it!

After stamping my three-step mistletoe with …you guessed it…three layers of stamping, I added a little knotted piece of May Arts ribbon. I find it easiest to add the pin by first knotting the ribbon how you want it and then sliding the pin through. To add a fun touch to the pin, I added a little rhinestone sticker embellishments.

Quick Tip:  Have fun embellishing your embellishments for a fun, unique touch. Embellishments can be sanded, painted, inked or have stickers or rhinestones added to make them that extra bit special

To add a couple extra touches, I stitched around my layers with brown thread and then added one super huge copper brad from Karen Foster Designs.

Wishing you holiday wishes and may you get lots of kisses!
