Welcome to my stop on the
Stampin' Addicts Summer Mini Blog Hop - a blog tour showcasing the
Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog! The
Summer Mini Catalog goes live on May 1st and you are going to love some of the fun, new and exciting products in this mini catalog! This
Blog Hop will give you lots of ideas featuring the
Summer Mini products and I hope you are inspired in your own stamping and creating. You may have arrived from
Stamping with Melissa. If not, you can continue the blog hop in a circle from the link at the bottom of my post and you'll find yourself right back here, having traveled the full circle of the
Stampin' Addicts Blog Hop.
My blog stop is featuring the
Simply Adorned line of Charms and Chains from Stampin' Up! These beautiful charms are not a brand new item for Stampin' Up! They have been featuring them in the last two Mini Catalogs, but I am excited to show you some of the ways I created inserts for the Charms and also some of the different ways to wear these beautiful accessories. Next week I will take a closer look at some of these projects as well as offer my tips for the easiest way to create your
Charm Inserts.

Here is a necklace I made using three of the Charms,
1 x 1.25 Rectangle, 5/8" Square, 5/8" Circle, along with a Satin Flower I made. I added several loops of
Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon to the Satin Flower, which is a poly satin fabric cut with the
Circles #2 die for the
Big Shot, heated with the
Heat Gun to curl the edges, finished with a
Clear Rhinestone Brad in the center.
Two of the inserts for these charms are pieces of the
Nouveau Chic Designer Series Paper covered with
Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder and stamped images. For the
5/8" Square insert, I stamped the fluer from
Elements of Style stamp (new in the Summer Mini) in
StazOn Jet Black ink, covered it with
Iridecent Ice Embossing Powder and added the rhinestone center from a small
Clear Rhinestone Brad.

Here is another necklace made from the Satin Flowers and the
Basic Gray Taffeta Ribbon. Here I grouped three of the flowers together on a Ribbon necklace and dangled a
5/8" Circle Charm from the center of one. This charm insert is simply
En Francais stamped onto
Lavender Lace cardstock with a purple rhinestone center from a small
Ice Rhinestone Brad. These Satin Flowers can be grouped together on a Necklace chain or ribbon, or on a Bracelet chain or ribbon, or even used alone on a broach pin.

Here is a more colorful Satin Flower with a dangling
5/8" Circle Charm. This particular flower has a pin backing so it can be added to a shirt, jacket, scarf or purse for a great pop of color. This charm insert is a portion of the
Elements of Style flower stamp, colored and then covered in
Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder.

Finally, here is another trio of Charms,
1 x 1.25" Rectangle, 5/8" Square, 5/8" Circle, all created on
Window Sheets for a gorgeous transparent look. For the
Rectangle Charm Insert, I stamped the
Elements of Style stamp in
Silver Encore Ink and embossed it with
Silver Embossing Powder. Then I dyed a flower from my
Pretties Kit by pressing it into my
Only Orange stamp pad and letting it dry. This is adhered to the embossed
Window Sheet with a touch of
Tombow Mono Multi adhesive and I added a rhinestone center from a small
Fire Rhinestone Brad. The two
5/8" Charm Inserts are the
Elements of Style flower stamped with
StazOn Jet Black Ink onto a window Sheet and accessorized with a rhinestone center of a small
Fire Rhinestone Brad for one and the tiniest butterfly from the
Beautiful Wings Embosslit for the other. I love the transparency of these charms!
