Simply Adorned Charms

Sometimes, the best ideas come from you!

Thank you for my most recent hostess, Jennifer, for her idea of creating charms for the Simply Adorned product line(page 189 of the big catalog). We decided to create charms, and the workshop guests were able to use the charms to create 3 x 3 notecards, or leave the charms seperate for necklaces. For the 3 x 3 cards, simply cut a piece of cardstock 3 x 6. Stampin' Up' has envelopes for mini cards (pg. 171 of the big catalog, Mini Square Envelopes #107309). We used the charming stamp set, & Tiny Tags stamp set. Also used the Tiny Tags punch, & Jewels!




Here is the assortment of charms we created. Some of them were CASED from fellow demonstrators! Wish you could see them in person... they are adorable! Don't forget, they are included in the Holiday Promotion Bundles, the Simply Adorned Gift Bundle includes the 1 x 1 1/4 Charm, 24 inch chain, & Charming Stamp set. Bundle #124076 for $39.88. That is 20% off!!!

With Gratitude Technique Sample

Sometimes my customers are my best inspiration! I had a customer ask me if they could learn the chalkboard technique. So, this is what I decided to try with the group. This stamp set is awsome, and the large medallian was perfect for trying the chalkboard technique.

We began stamping the image with whisper white craft ink on Expresso card stock. The cardstock was cut twice with the Top Note die cut. Cut, the turn & cut again! Then used Stampin' Pastels chalk to color the image. You can use sponge daubers, or the applicators that come with the chalk. Mine is subtle, or you can add more color if you choose.

Cardstock is pear pizzaz & Expresso. Designer paper is from the in color level 1 Hostess selection. Also used the new Designer Label Punch!

Was fun getting out my chalks again. They are a great product to have, so many colors when you use the VersaMark ink base & pounce the color on!
