    Wendy, use those charms on your cards! Run a piece of thin ribbon through them and tie them on. You could even incorporate the lobster clasp thingy and your recipient will have a small gift from you. I have a ton of charms and jewelry findings from the days when my husband used to cut out wooden earrings. I just started putting them on my cards to help get rid of them and they are VERY well received.

      I agree. I often add charms to my cards when they fit the design. During covid when my BIL’s family was unable to get together as they did annually he asked me to make cards for the elders. I used the tree theme, personalized with the family name and added leaf charms to each card. They were definitely well received!
      If you sell your cards (even if you want to make mass production and make gift sets for family/friends) you could actually design around the theme of each charm you have, and add one to each. The rainbow would be great on thinking of you and get well cards, etc 😊

    Another idea for the charms is to add them to the hole in a handmade bookmark! That would make a lovely addition to a card/gift. 🙂

    Hi Wendy, thank you for sharing all your favorites. I love the charms and would not get rid of any of them. You can always use them in your junk journals or any journal or even attach them to a card or scrapbook page. You can attach then to a purse or clutch or make charm bracelets. There are so many things you can do with them. Search ideas on the search bar here on UA-cam. Thanks again for sharing. Love all the items and may just go ahead and use the links you shared. ☺

    Like the clear envelopes for storing non stampin up stamps/dies. Charms are a great idea.

  • @lindacade3975
    @lindacade3975 2 місяці тому +2

    For the charms...use them for wine glass charms. A set of six with different charms. Use small round earring hoops to attach the charm around the wine glass stem. Glue a charm (E6000) to one arm of sunglasses to identify then. Attach with lobster claw and cord to purse handle straps. Incorporate a charm or two into a friendship bracelet. Make into zipper pulls for cosmetic or pencil bags, etc. Add a charm to a light pull. Use a charm on gift tag cords. Attach a charm to dangle from envelopes for gift cards or money envelopes. For hand delivered cards, use a blob of sealing or candle wax and embed the charm in the wax before it cools. Make a charm for candles, using thin wire to wrap around the base of the candle.

    I have the tape gun and got it at Michaels years ago. And I started buying my tape for it at Amazon. Both are great. Get my storage bags, Art Glitter Institute glue, watercolor paper, especially black, mica powders and so much more. But i never thought to use 5x7 craft paper envelopes for bulky cards. I love to make shaker cards and cards with wobbles, so I need space. I'll be ordering the envelopes. I also like the charm idea for my tools. Thanks.

    I love the white pens
    I made labels of all the different font sizes and put them on the back of my P. touch. This way I can easily flip the label maker over and see what size font I want to use. I also printed out instructions how to use chain-link which save so much tape.

    Hello Wendy. Thanks for the suggestions. I purchase my ATG refills from Tape Jungle. I purchase a case of 144 for $183.00 making each refill around $1.27. Lesser quantities can also be purchased. I believe they also have the ATG gun too

    Regarding the charms, you can definitely make them into earrings for your friends and nieces. Btw, lanyard holders are also awesome for scissor holders.

  • @skabettispaghetti5451
    @skabettispaghetti5451 5 днів тому

    Thank you. I would like to say something about the ATG. I found it clumsy to use and my wrist got tired when I made cards en masse. If anyone has arthritis in their fingers or wrists, they may want to consider the smaller glue runners. They work better for me than the ATG. Hugs.

    • @cherylablagden8602

    Any of those charms would be good on DIY glue stoppers. Everyone has such good ideas. Thanks for the semi-product reviews. I was happy to see I use about 90% of them. I have an older P-Touch labeler without the computer connection. I love gadgets so will remember the upgrade if my hardy one ever gives out. I think I've had it for 7 years or more and it still performs well. Using the computer-aided one, can you use the fonts you have installed on your computer? That would make it even more tempting.
