A Diva for the Kitten

On Zuzu's forum this month Debbie AKA Kraftykitten is the Diva and as she had a thing for Twilight I thought I would do her a bag charm. (I have been corrected she still has and will until she dies, and then will go and live with Edward in vampire land LOL)

Its just a Tim Holtz swivel clasp with a bottle cap charm and a metal tag that I made from a bit of biscuit tin and some printed wording, the cap and tag are sealed with embossing powder to help them live longer. Then finished off with a few beads and bits and pieces. Now it has been received I thought I would blog it.

Fabric

I Fancied having a go a stamping on fabric recently which was a new thing for me. I made a couple of Bag Charms and have some larger pieces of fabric that I still want to do some more too, but not just sure what yet.

Charm Swap

These were the first things I had made for ages. I hosted a charm swap on Zuzu's forum and these were mine for the swap. I made 12 for the swap, 3 of each design. They are die cut letters dipped in a melt pot and stamped into and then antiquated with more green embossing powder.

The gold twirly things with beads I made from scraps of stuff and the little sayings attached are made with shrink plastic. The letters used correspond to the sayings.

A Domino

A Domino I did for a swap on Zuzu's forum. I tend to like to make things that have a use, so I did this as a bag charm - just hope the recipient has a bag LOL

My First Ever Charm Swap

I have been fancying doing one of these for ages and at last someone I knew organised one - Thanks Deb.
