Hi Everybody,Sometime ago I was asked to do a video on how I add charms to my cards.
I am sorry Ann that it has taken me so long to do it ... but here at last is little tutorial.
There are lots of ways to add them but I have shown you the quickest and easiest ways.
You will also notice on the mat with the charms that there is a mobile phone loop and these can also be used to attach small charms.
They can be looped over the flowers or threaded in with the ribbon and look just as good ... the only problem is they are a bit flimsy and the charm can fall off and get lost so that is why they are not included on the video.
The little hearts come in gold color as well as silver and there are many in a pack and they are quite reasonably priced.
But they do add a nice touch to your cards ... especially if you sell them .
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Good morning Christina
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful card and video (thanks to your film crew) I love the little charm I have lots of these I add them to my patchwork things but the trouble is I am doing less and less of it and more and more cards! Now thanks to you I have another use for them too. Thank you for all your wonderful inspiration.

Hi Christina,
ReplyDeleteOh such a stunningly pretty card today and a great video showing us how to use charms of which I have bought so many in the past and only used the odd one. This will give me the impetus to use more. Many thanks.
Love Sheila xx
