Little Things: Day 3

First of all, WOW! I can't believe how many people are participating in the comments. I'm doing my best to read them all, but it's taking a while!

Second, I will announce the winners of the Day 1 giveway later on Tuesday.

Third, today's LITTLE THING is rhinestones and pearls! These are my go-to LITTLE THINGS for taking a ho-hum card and making it something extra special. It's just so incredibly easy! To place the self-adhesive bling, I use a craft knife to cut them off their adhesive strip (if needed), lift them off the backing sheet, and place them wherever I want them.

Bling comes in varying quality. Look for clear gemstones that aren't unstuck from their backing before you buy and pearls that are fairly evenly colored (some natural variation is fine). And like real wealth, DON'T HOARD IT. Use it. Freely and without regret. You'll always be able to find more.

My first card uses self-adhesive rhinestones I got for free from the now-closed StampinTreasures. I think they are from Memory Box. And for those of you who hate green galore and gable green, here's a card to show you how cheerful and pretty they can be! Now, aren't you sad StampinUp discontinued them?



The second card uses pink half-pearls. If you're a regular reader, you will recognize my use of the First Theory of Using Colored Cardstock on CAS Cards: light base, darker mat, monochromatic color scheme. It's going to take a long time for me to get sick of this. It just works so beautifully!



Three lucky readers will win three packs each of rhinestones and/or pearls! REMEMBER TO COMMENT ON THE BLOG, not via email. Email entries will not be considered for the drawing.

    Great post! I have little items like this but find it so hard to incorporate them into my cards. Its one of the things I try and work on.

    I dont wear any makeup at all so my favorite little cosmetic thing would have to be my Garnier curl scrunch gel. Its very dry here in Alaska and my naturally curly hair gets VERY frizzy if I dont use the gel to help keep things in check.

    I am liking these colors. Using that card stock, I see. I love using my eye liner pencil. It just adds the right touch and shape to my eyes.

    Love both of your cards! And I definitely want to try your monochromatic plan soon!

    As for little beauty thing: low-sulfate shampoo (I'm using cheap tresemme naturals brand) and the plopping method for curly hair. Why did no one tell me I could have great looking non-frizzy curly hair with approximately 3 minutes of work?!?!?

    What makes me smile is a wonderful scent (any one of many) of lotion from Bath & Bodyworks! I have loved their stuff for many years and was so happy a year or so ago when they finally opened here in Calgary! I think my favourite scent of theirs is the Twisted Peppermint from Christmastime!

    As always, I LOVE your cards. I do like your use of a coloured base lately.

    My little thing in the morning is Body Shop's Satsuma body wash and body butter! It's orange smell just livens up my day. I love it when I put on my robe at night and it still smells like it from the morning... puts a smile on my face every time!

    DO NOT enter me into the drawing. I do not need more stuff. However, I looooooove your green card and plan to steal your idea and use up my retired paper stash.

    And to answer your "beauty" question: Victoria Secret's Pear Glace body lotion.

    Thanks for this advice "Use it. Freely and without regret." I need to start using my stash of supplies rather than unintentionally hoarding them. There will always be more pretty papers & supplies to replace anything I use up.

    My 'little thing' today is my favorite perfume. A little spritz gives me a lift every morning! That and a great cup of coffee! ;-)

    Your monochromatic cards are so pretty! I must remember to do this, esp when my mojo is in a rut.
    Since my hair is primarily silver/grey and I have no intention of dyeing it, I do have to add color to my eyebrows or I really look washed out. The one and only eyebrow color that looks fairly natural on cool, pale skin with silver/grey hair is Slate gel by Bobbie Brown, which has been discontinued! Whah! But, I'll use it and enjoy it while I have it!
    Thanks for all your giveaway goodies!

    I was already sold on rhinestones & pearls. They surely lift a card.
    I am a very basic sort of girl when it comes to grooming. My one fancy little thing is tinted moisturiser with sunscreen called In a Good Light by Mecca. It looks good & is good for me.
    Also, since the beginning of the week you have put From Little Things, Big Things Grow - a song by Australian artist extrordinaire Paul Kelly - in my head. It's an inspiring song about Aboriginal land rights and catchy to boot. You can put it in your head too if you go here.

    I would have to say for me it's a little bit of eyeliner. I can go without almost all other make up but put on a little liner and I look so much more awake and fresh (at least I think so!).

    Wait, I'm not supposed to hoard rhinestones?! But they're so pretty and sparkly!

    I just recently discovered Curel Daily Moisture lotion--it's wonderful and comes in a mostly white, very uncluttered pump bottle, with a touch of spring green, so this CAS girl doesn't mind it sitting out on my counter.

  40. TeeMarch 22, 2011 at 4:12 AM

    I hoard rhinestones like there's no tomorrow..thankfully we Indian's love bling on everything, clothes, purses, shoes, jewelery! And if I go into the wholesale market, I pick up a 1000 bling stones (2-3mm) for 20-30 cents.

    As cosmetic favorite...I love my Johnson's baby cologne, summer breeze. A spritz is enough to freshen my day..I even carry it in my purse for instant freshness all day!

    Such pretty cards...especially the lovely pink one. I need to use my bling. I don't mean to hoard them but I guess I have too much "stuff" (or "crap" according to DH) that I don't get around to using enough stuff.

    I love large hair clips to be able to pull back my hair during the hot months. My hair is thick so it has to be able to hold a lot of hair.

    I wear very little makeup but the last few years I've really enjoyed lipstick. I learned a few things reading all of the comments here. First - I must get some of the eyebrow gel someone mentioned - I have very unmanageable eyebrows. I'm also going to look up the brow dye someone mentioned. And lastly, since I like to wear lipstick, I'm fascinated with the ads that show very glossy looking lips - someone mentioned they use that. I'll have to look for some of that as well. Love the cards, BTW. Awesome and fun questions.

    One LITTLE THING from the beauty that makes me happy when you're getting ready to face the day is mascara. I've gone out in public many times sans any makeup. But when I do get all "prettified" IT NEVER looks complete without mascara. 'Tis what it is!

    What LITTLE THING from the cosmetic or beauty/grooming aisle makes me happy when I'm getting ready to face the day? Well, except for lipstick, I don't "do" makeup, so I'd have to say that the little thing that makes me happy when I get ready in the morning is lotion that keeps my winter-dry skin from getting itchy. Not being itchy makes me happy! My favorite lotion is this wonderful handcrafted goat milk lotion (from goats who frolic near Cincinnati, OH). The Apples 'N Spice scent is *heavenly*! THAT makes me happy. :)

    Love the cards. And you're right - your monochromatic pattern makes for some of the best CAS cards. FYI - I've discovered some cute little glimmer stickers that mimick the bling. I send almost all of my cards out of state to my family and need to make sure they are nice and flat. These stickers give a little shimmer and bling without adding any dimension to the card. Definitely my new little thing!

    My favorite little thing from the beauty aisle is my Jergens lotion - the original scent. I love it and it always reminds me of my Grandma Johnson.

    Sorry I deleted my previous comment - I should really check my spelling BEFORE posting!!! Love your sweet cards, CAS + a little addition of bling = perfect! Mmmmm, so what's my one little thing? I guess right now it would have to be some rather nice body lotion that didn't cost the earth but gives me a little lift every morning as it smells like everyone would like a spring meadow to smell!

    rEADING SOME OF THE COMMENTS, I'm surprised at how many don't wear make-up. I use a special concealer that is green that takes the redness away, due to psoriasis. also I love moonlight path scent from bath and body works, it just makes me feel good. Love the cas look in color.

    Susan, I love both your cards. I've always loved GG and GG, and using them together looks great with your tree. The bling is essential! I can't understand why I love the pink card so much --- I find pink hard to use, and pink leaves? --- but I do! What a couple of pretty, springy cards. For make-up, I wear blush and lipstick, and I'm good to go. What makes me feel PRETTY, and feminine, and dressed up on a jeans day is perfume. And my favorite is Cherry Blossom from Bath & Body Works........which they're discontinuing, of course! Aaaand, just like the pearls dressed up your card, pearls on Sunday make me feel TOTALLY dressed!

    Love the simple mats and focal images. My favorite make-up products are a Bobbi Brown powder bronzer (very light color) that I use year round instead of a blush, and a Bobbi Brown lip gloss. I have four tubes of it since I grabbed up several when they discontinued it. I hate that about cosmetic companies!

    beautiful use of color!

    My little thing HAS to be my tweezer. At this age and stage of life stray hairs on the face/chin seem to pop up hourly!! Nothing makes me feel worse......therefore the tweezers make me feel much better and ready to face the day! I even carry some in my purse just in case!
    Second little thing would be my perfume. I've been wearing the same scent for over 30 years and it's "Skin" by Bonne Bell. A relatively cheap drugstore perfume but I just love it. My husband always liked it back when we were in high school too! There isn't an expensive perfume in the world I would rather wear than this.
    Matter of fact, most expensive perfumes give me a headache!

    Has to be toothpaste. Nothing starts the day better than clean teeth & mouth.

    As always, your cards are great. I used your technique of using an oval stamp as a table or plate on a card yesterday. It was the perfect solution. Otherwise the cupcake was just sort of floating on the card and looked awkward. I used an oval Nestability with white CS, added some red & blue dots (little boy's b'day card) and a sparkly "5" and it looked great.

    LOL! Love the hoarder comment, my girlfriends still tease me about hoarding eyelets back when they were the "it" thing,ages ago...still have a ton of them, should have used them up!!! lol!
    I personally like the 2 greens and wish they would have kept them. :) Cute cards, as usual. :) You using color bases gives me that push to get back into them again too, thanks for that because I have been stuck, Love the white so much!!!!

    Anyway, reading most of these posts, I am so jealous of all the women who don't wear make up!!!! I don't wear much but the little I wear I need!!! My fav item, right now, that makes me feel pretty is my new Tarte lip gloss pencil, goes on with a touch of color and it makes me feel daring! :)

I have one in my jacket pocket, one in my purse, one in my scrap room, one beside my bed and one in my makeup basket in the bathroom. Love the smell, taste and feel of these lip glosses.

    What fun blingy things on your fab cards today! I loved this little discovery for make-up, but it's not actually in the make-up aisle. When a company discontinued a face moisturizer I loved, I was devastated. I tried so many things to try to replicate that perfect light moisture feeling to mix with concealer. One day, after putting Aveeno baby lotion on my little one, I hadn't wiped it all off from my hand before touching my face. That was the same feeling as my old discontinued moisturizer! Such a little thing, but it made me so very happy!

    my "thing" is the perfume I bought on our honeymoon in Bermuda.
    I wear it every day and it reminds me of that beautiful island.

    I love your blog and all your cards! I love mascara. Even if I don't wear any other makeup, I feel pretty with mascara.

    I'm really enjoying the different comments/beauty tips - and I have a quick tip to share: I figured out why I can't lose weight! The shampoo that runs down my body in the shower says "for extra volume and body" I am gonna start using Dawn dish soap. It says " dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove." LOL
    My "little thing" is eyeshadow - don't wear it often, but I love the "bling-y" look that it gives my eyes.

    Great cards, especially the green one! My "thing" is my Bed Head Maxxed Out hairspray. My hair is fine and thin and flattens out at the first hint of humidity, so this hairspray goes a long way toward preventing that.

    Great use of bling!

    My little cosmetic thing is a 4-sided manicure block which has two filing surfaces, a smoother and a buffer which makes your nails shine without polish. All for $5 at Sephora!

    rhinestones, I use them on everything. I really use my eyebrow pencil every day. Mine are so thin and my skin is dark and so is my hair.
