Simply Adorned Bracelet

I've had this bracelet and the charms for at least a month now, but I hadn't made inserts and put it together until this last weekend. I'm pleased with the way it turned out, but I'm sure I'll end up changing out my inserts soon. I'm hoping Stampin' UP! will come out with some other small stamps to fit inside these smaller charms.

For 3 of the 4 inserts, I used stamps from the Itty Bitty Bits stamp in the Summer Mini. You can see this stamp set by clicking on the link at the right side of the screen. If you don't have a copy of the new Summer Mini catalog, you can get one from your demonstator. If you don't have a demonstator, send me a message, and I'll happily get one out to you. The square charm with the pink flower is from the Greenhouse Garden set.

The Itty Bitty Bits stamp set coordinates perfectly with the Itty Bitty Punches. I was hoping they would fit perfectly in the circle charm, but the punch is a little too small. However, I layered the circle images on a piece of colored cardstock punched using the 1/2" Circle Punch.

Here is the second part to that birthday gift I forgot to give! Don't worry, she finally has her very belated gift! I have been wearing my Simply Adorned necklace for quite awhile now, and I love being able to change it up to match my mood and outfits!

Here is a shot of my necklace and my inserts so far. I gave Darla the same necklace and set. I wear my charm on the 34" necklace and wrap it around my neck twice. I gave her the 24" necklace, because I think she'd prefer to let it hang longer.

Simply Adorned 1" x 1-1/4" Rectangle Charm #116798

Enjoy Every Moment

One of my former 4th grade students is going to Thailand for a humanitarian project. I am sending her a little donation to help with her trip. She is an amazing girl. I made this cute card to send her a note with my donation.

The base is Bermuda Bay cardstock #115317, and I used the corresponding Designer Series Paper in Bermuda Bay #115684 on top of Basic Black cardstock #102851 for the mat. I stamped "Enjoy" from the Enjoy Every Moment stamp set #113622 in Melon Mambo ink #115656 and "every moment" from the same set in Basic Black ink #101179. The flower is from the Greenhouse Garden stamp set #113824, which in on sale through the end of April as part of the 2-Step Stamping Promotion. I stamped the base of the flower in Pretty in Pink ink #101301, and the darker details using the Melon Mambo ink again. I popped the flower using a Stampin' Dimensional #104430 and used the Scallop Trim Border Punch along the bottom. This punch was available during sale-a-bration, but it will be for sale again in the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog that will be released July 1.
