Join me for today's video, I'll share some tips on creating random sizes with the new Stampin' Up edge and corner punches.
Using the punches seperately makes a pretty accent to your project. When using them together, they make a stunning border that really draws attention. However, when you use the 2 together, you'll want to use a standard size (chart below). Sometimes the standard size doesn't fit the project you are creating, and that's where these tips will come in handy.VIDEO TUTORIAL: Corner & Edge Punch tips

January 17, 2010 by
After long wait, the Simply Adorned line is finally available!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!!!!
Our Simply Adorned line beautifully combines the best of two worlds: stamping and jewelry! We designed our Simply Adorned charms to hold a creation you design yourself, making your jewelry truly unique.
Simply Adorned charms are lockets--they open up so you can insert your custom stamped image. The Charming stamp set, along with Rub-Ons, glitter, ribbons, and other embellishments, can help you create your unique charm insert. And don't forget that you can embellish the chains with ribbon, felt flowers . . . the possibilities are endless! The frame surrounds tempered beveled glass on the front and flat glass on the back. Because there's glass on both sides of the charm, you can display an image on one side or both. You can create a custom heirloom piece that you'll never want to change, or you can swap artwork in and out, depending on your mood and your wardrobe.
