Beadaholique is Vintaj's November 2011 Online Bead Partner!


 

We are very excited and proud to announce that the creative team over at Vintaj has chosen Beadaholique to be the their very first Online Bead Partner!

Charming Discoveries Project

As you can see in many of our free projects, we are big fans of Vintaj. With their wide range of hundreds of products stemming from altered blanks, to filigrees, to charms and chains (and everything in between), Vintaj has become a staple for many designers, us included! Their innovative pieces feed one's creativity.  Whether you are looking for a focal piece, special clasp, journal page, or ornate bead cap, Vintaj always has that special element to turn an ordinary piece of jewelry into something extraordinary.


Our latest Vintaj obsession is the Vintaj Big Kick machine by Sizzix, which has special etching and embossing plates to use with metal blanks. The machine is extremely easy to use and the results are pretty amazing. The first time we used it, we looked at each other and said “Wow! Did that machine really just do that? It was so simple!” To make the etched and embossed images pop, it just takes a few swipes of the Vintaj Relief Block.



 
If you have yet to check out the Vintaj blog, you must do so! Get ready to be inspired when you click on the “Idea Gallery” link which is full of projects, many with step-by-step instructions. Also learn tips and new techniques; see new product announcements, contests you can enter, and more. The Vintaj blog is constantly updated and Jess Italia-Lincoln adds a personal touch to her posts and shares her words of wisdom. 




A big thank you to Vintaj for choosing us as their first Online Bead Partner! Over the years, Vintaj and Beadaholique have worked together, sending beads and projects back and forth. We have gotten to know many of the team members at Vintaj and can say with certainty what a great group they are. It is such a joy to see their line expand and new innovations emerge. Thanks Vintaj!
