Charmed I'm sure...

Who doesn't love charms?  I collect them everywhere

I go because it's the one simple thing that can really add

to a card.  This month my Butterbee projects will have a

charm theme to all of them and wow you should see what they

carry in the shop.  They have so many cute sets that are themed

and you can use them together or use them for lots of other

cute projects that you are doing.  Today i am sharing the heart set

and I made a cute dangly bracelet filled with lots of sparkling gems

and 2 cards with some of my favorite new dies and charms.

To make my bracelet you will need the following things:

Small rhinestone charms, Lovestruck Heart Charms, crystal beads,

Teatime Charms, Silver chain, silver jump rings, silver lobster clasp,

and tools to put it together as shown.  I really love mine and they

are from Beadalon.  I think the better your tools the easier it is

to create really fun things and these work really good.

Here is a closeup so that you can see the charms better.

I doubled the chain but really only attached the charms, rhinestones

and the crystals onto one of them.  Aren't they just so pretty?  

For my card i used a new die from Spellbinders for the

backround called French Harmony.  I cut it out of blue

cardstock and glued it on to a simple white card.  Then 

i tied a ribbon around the center and attached a rose charm

from the set with chain i had left over from the bracelet.

I stamped the sentiment on the white paper and then cut and

embossed it with the new Labels 34 die set.  To finish it

i added 3 small thin strips of white on the top and the bottom.

It was super quick and easy to do. Oh and the stamp is from 

one of my new sets that i just got from Verve Stamps.

For my next card I found this really cute Tea paper to go

with the Teapot charm in the set you can see here.

The papers are from Graphic 45 and the die set is from

Spellbinders and is called Decorative Labels 34.  The 

charm really gives it a cute little extra something.

That's all for today and I really appreciate that you took

the time to stop over and be sure and let me 

know what you think or just say hi and let me know where

you are from, this is what truly makes crafting fun. Oh and be 

sure and come back next Wednesday for more Butterbee charm ideas. 

Have a wonderful crafty day :)
