Did you notice the Simply Adorned Jewelry in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog (or the Holiday Mini Catalog)?
We were finally able to order the jewelry at the beginning of January. I got one charm and one chain and I love them!
I have the 1″ x 1-1/4″ rectangle charm and the 24″ chain. I was worried about it bothering my neck – over the years I seem to have developed a metal allergy and most things make me start itching and I have to take them off – so far this chain has not bothered me at all and I have been wearing it. The chains are Stainless Steel and come in two lengths – 24″ and 34″ and a bracelet that is 8″.
There are 3 large charms to wear on a chain and 2 small charms that you can add to the bracelet or the chain.
The great thing about the charms is that they are little lockets with windows and you can create stamped creations to fit inside. Just image you will always have something to match whatever you are wearing! And because these are small it doesn’t take long to stamp something to put inside.
The stamp set I used on this one is the Charming stamp set and it was originally shown in the Holiday Mini Catalog. And yes it is still available. The front of the charm has a beveled edge on the glass.
The back is flat but also glass so you can show a different image on the back side.
The design on the back also uses the Charming stamp set and I created it very quickly actually from a scrap that I had lying on the table while working on a card. I just cut it to fit inside my charm.
There is a new stamp set called Tiny Tags in the Occasions Mini that was designed to work with the little charms.
I’m excited about the jewelry and I am working on a class that will be in March. We will create a dozen or more inserts and decorate the box that will hold the chain, charm and inserts. This will be a perfect Mother’s Day gift – or make two and keep one for yourself. I’ll have more information on the class as the date approaches.
I have been busy finishing up projects for Create with Connie & Julie class. I’m posting again this Friday – but you have to be a class member to see the project – so make sure you join – it’s not too late – we are about half way through and all the projects are out there.
Thanks for stopping by today!
