Simply Adorned Jewelry Part 2

I had to get one of our lovely model - thank you Auntie Tootsie for this statue. She is modeling the Christmas charm that started this all!

Here is a close up of the Christmas Charm. The stamp sets used were Leaf Lines and En Francais - this was inspired by our other stamp set - Christmas Collage - which is in the current Holiday Mini Catalog (e-mail me if you want a catalog)!

The sign is from Michael's - yes they already have Halloween stuff out! But here is a full view of the bracelet.

Here are the bracelet charms close up. The stamp sets used were From the Crypt and Tiny Tags and I used our Basic Gray ink around the edges to give it that weathered look.

And here is one final charm for the necklace which uses the House of Haunts stamp set.

What I love about both the necklace and the bracelet is that the charms are interchangeable. So whenever I get tired of one image I just pop it open and put in a different one. The image can either be handmade by me, cut out of a magazine or you could even put in photos of your kids! This necklace and bracelet are so reasonably priced and I love that they can be changed to fit any outfit or holiday!

Necklace Charm 1" x 1 1/4" 18.95

Chain 34"12.95

Chain 24" 10.95

Bracelet 8" 7.95

5/8" Square charm 8.95 each

Supplies Used: Very Vanilla paper, Basic Black Ink, Basic Gray Ink, Old Olive Ink, Real Red Ink and I used our Aqua Painters to color in the mistletoe! The stamp sets used are listed under each photo.

Simply Adorned Jewelry Part 1

I have been dying to decorate my Simply Adorned necklace charm since I saw one on a blog. It was a christmas one that was stamped with our Christmas Collage stamp set. But since Halloween is coming first and it is one of my favorite holidays I thought I'd do one for it. But it turned into 6 necklace charms and making the bracelet charms match. I did do the Christmas one also but you'll see that in my next post. The darn thing only lets me have so many photos per post! :) If you like what you see and would like to have one for yourself just send me an e-mail or check out my online store for the products. www.stamperscottage.stampinup.net

Supplies: Very Vanilla paper, Basic Black Ink, Basic Gray Ink and the stamp sets listed under each photo.

The From The Crypt stamp set has such detailed images that I was able to isolate different parts on the images to make the charms. It's one of my favorite stamp sets from Stampin' Up
and it's what got me into all this Stampin'!!!!

St. Patrick's Day - Stampin Up Style

Here's some St. Patricks ideas!

I also made a Hershey Kiss Holder - the pattern for the main holder came from Erika Martin - Stampin Mama. I added all the Irish cuteness using our awesome punches!

Finally I made this St. Patrick's Day card - I saw a picture of something similar while browsing through Google images but of course I changed it to incorporate the cute Shamrock and I just had to use our Pumpkin Pie Striped Ribbon.

I hope this has inspired some of you.

My First Post

Hello Stampers~
This is my very first post on my own blog - eeek - how exciting! Just to give everyone an idea of who I am here's a little info:

My name is Julie Chavez and I just recently became a Stampin Up Demonstrator!!!!!! I'm sooooooo excited about this because I feel like I finally have an outlet for my creativity. I have a normal day job and spend the rest of my time Stampin, Scrapbooking, gardening, reading, and enjoying the home my husband and I bought back in September (it's our first home)!

On My Craft Table: I'm hoping that this will be a recurring post about what I am currently working on and what you should be seeing pictures of in the near future - that's if I can figure out how to post pics - first blog, remember, so be patient with me.

If you have questions about anything you see on here don't hesitate to e-mail me - I'd be happy to help.

P.S. Why Stampers Cottage? Because our new home is in the process of being transformed from vacant foreclosed house with dead lawn into a cottage with gardens that overflow with flowers. I love the cottage style and I find the thought of living in a cottage to be relaxing and very freeing, if that's a word. When you think about stamping and crafting I want you to imagine that you are relaxing in a garden in a comfy chair underneath a tall tree stamping and crafting the day away while you drink lemonade. Happy Stampin!
