It’s A Charmed Life, Final Installment

Charms

Yes, these beauties are the final installment in my “it’s a charmed life” posts. I am in a swap and these little cuties had a hoop attached so they can be put on a charm bracelet and mailed off.

Each charm was created with shrink plastic. The punch is A Whale of A Punch tag punch. I, then, used a hole punch to create the hole for the charm attachment.

The Christmas tree is a Stampin’ Up! stamp from the Year Round Cheer set. It is stamped in Brilliance ink in Pearlescent Jade. The edges of the charm are edged with a Sharpie in metallic gold.

The gingerbread man is from some Stampin’ Up! set whose name I no longer have. It is stamped in Brilliance ink in Cosmic Copper. The edges of the charm are edged with a Sharpie in metallic copper.

The snowflake is one of the first stamps I ever owned. It was bought through a fundraiser from some company in Rochester, NY when my kids were in Catholic schools. I have no idea who the manufacturer is. It is stamped in Brilliance ink in Mediterranean Blue. The edges of the charm are edged with a Sharpie in metallic silver.

Charms Gone Bad

I have mailed off the actual charms that are going to be used for the swap I am in but I am slowly putting out there my initial attempts.

This particular view I call “Charms Gone Bad.” I forgot which side I wanted to put the image on the shrink plastic for a couple so you don’t see an image on both sides. A couple more – duh! – have words on them. Well, unlike a mirror image of a graphic, words look funny backwards or in a mirror. And the final gone bad was freehand. I like it but it is not fantastic which is what I was aiming for.
