Shellye here with a couple of projects combining the beauty of the two companies...what a treat!

First up is a super, super quick and easy project that literally took a few minutes to put together.  Now mind you, the bracelet is one that I all ready had...but it was plain, so what better way to dress it up than

with a cute little bauble!

To create the charm, I used Epiphany Round #14 Circle Punch, Charm and Bubble Cap

and a little "peek" of  an upcoming collection, "LIVELY," with the adorable bird motif.  Using a bit of jewelry wire, I looped the charm together along with a couple of spare mushroom caps and pearl from another old bracelet.  That's it!  Hangs just beautifully and is just the right amount of blingage!

Next is a card of Carefree enjoyment!
I love layering...I don't make a card that's flat, so you will notice that I've layered several different patterns from Carefree onto this card. I've used a scalloped punch, a circle punch and created a little pleating for the ribbon of paper that sits under the focal point.

After hand-cutting one of the Carefree butterflies, I embellished it and the sides with three of the Epiphany Bubble Caps that I applied to bits of patterned paper.  I use my sewing machine on almost everything, but I also added a hand-stitched X and two dashes in black to help establish that visual triangle that I'm so fond of.
