Charms for Tim Holtz Cruise Swap

 I finally finished all my charms for the Tim Holtz Cruise charm swap.  I could have made them all the same but you know me...always up for a challenge.  I made each one different.  I think they all turned out pretty cool.  I do have a few favorites but I must say I put as much thought and attention into each and every one of them.  I am going to be a bit sad to see them go but I'm sure that the wonderful talented women that will be receiving them will enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.  I have a video showing them in more detail.  And here the post where you can find a  video showing just how to make them yourself !

    They were fun to make! And I am going to have a hard time letting them go! I am sure I will be making more of them in the future to add to my projects. :)

    Love the Kitty cameo appearances, lol.

    What are you using to coat the paper, they look great and arent sticky like some of the stuff ive tried.

    thanks

    Beautiful charms.

    Please Christy would you tell me, but did you use glossy accents to adhere everything to the clear fragments? And is the embossed metal on the back a pop can??

    Thanks for the inspiration...beautiful.

    I really love these. My fragments do not have the holes so have to get my thinking cap on. Enjoy the cruise, I will look forward to a report and photos.

    What a great bunch of charms, I wish I were going on the cruise just to get a charm. HA! Your metal that is embossed, is it metal tape or a pop can? Would love to try it. Shari (cricutrookie)

    These are awesome! How fun that you made each one different. I'd have a heard time letting them go, too...lol!!

    Have a wonderful time on the cruise. I'm just a bit jealous. I missed getting a reservation by one day...all because my friend couldn't make up her mind about going! Next time I'm going to make a reservation by myself...especially since I'm a part of ATT and "know" so many people now. :)

    I rarely comment but I love your videos and really appreciate the time you took to show each of the charms. Thanks so much for taking all the time to do all of your videos. I live in a small town and it often feels like I'm getting to take a craft class when I visit your blog.

    Christie,

    As everyone else has said, these are gorgeous. I would love more details as well. I heard you mention Ten Second Studio metal. Is that what you used on all of them? We all want to know what adhesive you used. Some of the bloggers list the products they used below the photos. It would be great if you could do that.

    Thanks!

    These are adorable. Love them! I am thinking these are a great way for me to use my scraps and xtra little embellies. They would be perfect for cards, layouts, mini's etc. TFS

    I love the charms, Christie. I would have a hard time parting with them as well. I look forward to seeing them when we get together. This is going to be a fun-packed cruise.

    Christy, I love these charms, how did you attach the extras? I mean the beads and other things? I want to make these and want to pick up what I need at HL.

    These are really beautiful, Christie. What did you use to put the beads and other items on with (like the keys and word tags)?
