A Bracelet and Coming Up Crafts Cards

A Bracelet
So I made myself something! I received these sterling silver bangles from Bali for store inventory. One of the balls screws off for adding beads and whatever else. However 2 of them had slightly dented balls. So I decided to keep them for myself! Of course this was months ago and only now did I get a chance to do something with one.
This was so simple. I used a yarn leftover from my attempting to knit days and wrapped that around the bangle. Then I wrapped solid copper over the yarn. It's a little messy on the ends but I sort of like that. So cute!

 Coming Up Crafts
More card shopping. These are from Coming Up Crafts on Etsy. A birthday card.
A beautiful bridal shower card.
A perfect unisex wedding card. I love that it is blue since the wedding I am attending is New England Patriots themed. 
This shop has so many great cards like this Halloween card.
 Adorable baby cards.
Thank you cards.
Thinking of you cards.
Note card sets.
That was just a sampling of Coming up Crafts. This is a great shop to visit for your next card purchase.

 Thank you for stopping by. I hope you are all enjoying this September weather. Although we had a day that was almost 100 degrees last week, we now have changing leaves and even some that have already fallen to the ground!

 Enjoy your week. ~Val

    Interesting idea for a bangle. I have always liked silver and copper mixed together on the same piece. -And beautiful cards ;)

    I really love this bracelet, Val!
    Such a unique idea. Oh, I have lots and lots of yarn from my attempting to knit days. :-)

    These cards are wonderful too. I especially like the bridal shower card.

    I hope you had a great day, and I hope your week is great too!

    It's nice you got to make something for yourself for a change :)
    Wrapping it with yarn and copper is a great idea! How creative!

    What a cool, creative idea for the bangles--the end result is such a neat and unique look, and I'm glad you treated yourself to something special. :)

    As for the cards, they're super cute; that Halloween one is adorable, and I love the paper design on those note cards! I hope you enjoy that Patriots-themed wedding, and that you continue to enjoy the fall weather--it's been a bit chilly at night, but the afternoons have been glorious, and I love the hints of gorgeous fall colors beginning to show in the trees!

    Your bracelet is beautiful! You should have them as a sort of basic staple in your shop. It reminds me of those ancient torcs :)
