Here's my sample card using the star charm:
I stamped and embossed the star charm, then I cut it out with the custom star die. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with a circle die (also part of the Charm die set), then I mounted it on a Spellbinders Standard circle die and popped it all on the star with foam tape. The bow is part of the Charm cling set.. I stamped, colored and added it to the top of my charm tag to finish it off. Here's a closer look at the tag:
I decided to make charm tags using each of the images and sentiments so I can add these on to a card or gift package later:
Here's a look at my entire project all together:
I am going to interrupt my post here to show you how I cut my charms.. In the past, I have used my Cuttlebug with my die cuts, but thanks to Spellbinder's Paper Arts, I am the proud owner of a Grand Calibur (a HUGE thank you to the owners, Stacey and Jeff, for their incredible generosity!). This charm project is the perfect one to highlight its use. First, I started by stamping all of my charms on a sheet of cardstock, then I carefully placed each die over each charm (secured with a little bit of scotch tape).
For those of you who haven't seen the machine yet, the photo below is a shot of the Grand Calibur. I have to admit that when I first heard about it, I was intrigued, but also afraid that I wouldn't have room for it on my craft counter. I was pleasantly surprised that it really isn't that much bigger than my Cuttlebug. (To cut my charm dies, I simply flipped them over on the base plate so that the cutting edge is up.)
Once I was ready to cut, I placed the cutting plate on top and ran it through the machine and all 4 charms were instantly cut. I ran them through a second time to emboss the edges. The best part is that the cutting area is a generous 8 1/2" x 11", so you can cut much more than what I showed here. Below are my 4 charm dies ready to be added to my project.
