The
Simply Adorned line of charms from Stampin' Up! are offered in several different sizes, beginning at
5/8" Circle and Square Charms. These itty bitty canvases create a unique challenge for stamping, and they will make you look at your stamps in a new way. Stampin' Up! also offers a few stamp sets designed for the
Simply Adorned line, with small images and sentiments sized for these charms. However, for the charm inserts I featured in my
Summer Mini Blog Hop post, I used some of the larger image stamps.
For example, in the
5/8" Circle Charm pictured above, I used a portion of the flower image from
Elements of Style. I first stamped the large flower image from
Elements of Style in
StazOn Jet Black onto a piece of
Window Sheet. Then I used a
1/2" Circle Punch (upside down so I could see what portion of the image I was punching) to punch out part of a blossom from the stamped image. Then I just added the center of a
Small Circle Fire Rhinestone with a dot of
Tombow Mono Multi Adhesive.

In this photo, you can see how small the area is that I used for the
5/8" Circle Charm Insert. This was definitely one of the more simple Charm inserts I created! For the
5/8" Square Charm pictured below, you can see that I used the same stamped image from the
Window Sheet. For this one I just placed the insert paper from my charm over the image and trimmed around it with
Paper Snips. I added the smallest butterfly from the
Beautiful Wings Embosslit with a dab of
Tombow Mono Multi Adhesive. This charm is so small, that even that smallest butterfly has to have the wings clipped to fit, though!
Finally, here's a closer look at the
1 x 1.25 Rectangle Charm insert I made using the
Window Sheets again for a transparent charm.

For this one, I used
Silver Encore Ink and
Silver Embossing Powder to create an embossed image of the
Elements of Style flower. You can click on the image to see a slightly larger view of it.
