Second project for Day 27 W - #abcapril2026

My second project for today, because I wanted to play with resin, I made these timepiece charms. Aren't these cool?! Some time ago I purchased several old (not functioning) watches from the thrift store and took them apart. Have you ever thought of how many pieces are inside one watch?! These pieces BARELY made a dent in the container of watch parts I obtained. Aren't they so cool. :) 

Edited to add this photo to show that these are clear. Didn't realize it would be impossible to tell photographing them over a white background. Oops. Anyhoo....

#abcapril2026, Day 27 W - washi tape

I made these bookmarks using washi tapes. Not much else to say about them. Die by My Favorite Things.

Several washi tapes over black cardstock, then die cut.

Again, washi over black cardstock. 

This one has just a little trim of washi over pattern paper. I did make the tassel also.

Cute matchbook style ticket books

Crafty by Toni made these cute Voucher books for today's V letter for #abcapril2026. They are so cute I decided to work along and made a couple of them too. Hope you like. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 25 V

Day 25 of #abcapril2026 is letter V - Vintage, Vellum 

Today's project is another jumbo tag. These make great pockets or tucks in a journal, and/or a nice spot on the back for journaling. 

Vellum butterfly faux postage stamps. Die by Elizabeth Crafts. 

Making charms and dangles is so much fun. I love this image of the sweet children and had to make it a focal point. So cute. By the way, this one is made with glossy accents instead of UV resin, which is also a great option for these as it dries so much faster. 

#ABCAPRIL2026, Day 24 U

#abcapril2026 Day 24, letter U for Utilize the Underused. I have several tools and products in my stash that I don't use often, so for today's project I utilized my paper crimper. As much as I love the look it gives and the texture it provides to your piece, I don't think of using it as much as I would like. Anyway, here is my project using the paper crimper. 

For my crimped pieces, I used a scrap of file folder and a torn piece of packaging envelope.

Ribbon, cheesecloth, charms, eyelet, jump rings and bulb pin add even more texture.
