Today the members of the My Favorite Things design team are showing different ideas on how to use a new MFT release called Bling 'Bet. So, today, you can bounce around to all of the blogs and see all the different ways to use this versatile set. If you didn't start at the beginning and want to see all the MFTeasers of the new sets...head on over to Kim's blog to make sure you don't miss a post.
I am showing you how to make a jewelry initial bag tag!
Materials you will need:
Jewelry piece (MFT will be carrying the exact one in this tutorial and lots of other shapes in her store soon!)
Bling 'Bet stamp (choose an initial)
ink
paper
Ultra Think Embossing Powder
bling (These stones will be for sale on the MFT set with this new release!)
Melting Pot (Ranger)
Step 1: Cut paper to the size of the jewelery piece. Stamp Bling 'Bet letter in the center of the paper.
Step 2: Add crystals on all the holes in the letter. Adhere letter paper to the jewelry peice with glue.
Step 3: Heat UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Powder) in the melting pot until melted.
You can see how the embossing powder looks when melting in this photo. When the powder looks all clear, you are ready for the next step. Note: You will need more powder than you think as the powder shrinks in liquid form.
Step 4: Pour melted embossing powder over the pendant. Make sure to fill it close to but not all the way to the top as it will overflow.
Note: You can use your embossing tool to go back and remelt any part that did not dry perfectly.
Here is my finished tag. I just added a ribbon to tie in onto the bag. You can make jewelry, bookmarks and keychains using the same technique.
Here is the little bag with the tag:

how fun!! this is totally cute!
Nice Cammy. I see a heat trend happening here already. Bookmarks would be cute with these, using a charm-letter on one side with a cute MFT bookmark and ribbon on the other.
Totally fun and cute Cammie!!
This is adorable, Cammie!! Love it!
fabulous Cammie
Cammie: I'm gonna have to come back to your blog so I can get a better grasp of your technique. This is an awesome charm.
I loooove this....I would looove to make Polo a doggie tag with a Pimpin' Blinged out P!!!!
Super cute idea, Cammie. :)
Hi Cammie...
I can imagine this would be great for giving to my elderly clients sometimes..I would probably use a pin back to use as a brooch for them..or use as a pendent for a necklace to personalize it for them. They enjoy the most simple things..
Thanks for sharing this with us..
Love the bling and since it's a K just send it my way...lol. Love your blog.

This has got to be the coolest thing I've seen this year! Nice work.
Cammie your pendant is very cool. I can imagine all kinds of things to do with this alphabet.
Cammie what a great project and I have that melting pot and have yet to use it so this inspires me. I think this set would also be great to make some fun stationary for gift giving.
Thank you for a chance to win.

WOW! How CLEVER is this??? Really FABULOUS!!!
Hey Cammie I am just commenting again because I am a subscriber thanks again.

I love your little purse tag! I would love to make one for my gym bag.
How fun is that?!? I would definitely have to make necklaces for my daughter, several colors so she can always match whatever she's wearing.
Oh wow!!! I love how that utee looks...I LOVE UTEE and this is great...I'm STOKED for the releases.... WAHOOO!!!
Wow, what a great idea! That set looks so awesome and versatile! My mind is racing with ideas! I think it would be fun to punch out the holes and leave them open or fill them with my fav bling! Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win! Katie
I love this. I'll definitely have to be ordering some of these jewely things...AND, I'll finally use my melting pot. I knew I would...have had other opportunities, but this one is a MUST DO and very soon. YES!!!
I've only used UTEE for embossing. I'm glad to see another way of using it. I look forward to trying to make one of those charms and adding it to a tag.
I would love to make something Bling-y for my dd (and for myself, too!). Thanks for the chance to win.
My second post since I'm a subscriber. :)
I would love to use this set to monogram napkins. I love anything with a monogram on it.
post #2....and the second thing I would like to use this set for would be to stamp my name. i can't find anything with my name on it. :)
what about a bracelet that Kim made for you?!?! she said to ask you!
What a great idea! You make it look so easy :)
I love the new Bling alphabet, it's adorable! I'd love to make a door sign for my daughter with it. I've got lots of bling in my stash!
I was thinking these letters might make a fun "name plate". Thanks for the great sampels!
shecop@charter.net
WOW! I love this.. I can't wait to buy and try to make some pendants.. My Girl Scout Troop would love them as an end of the year gift!
This is very lovely and thanks for the tutorial..(off to find a melting pot)
Eek - is this too cute or what?! Love this set and I'd love to make an alphabet book for my new niece! Thanks for the chance to be able to win it Cammie!
Great idea! I love it!

How exciting to have another chance for this cute set. Thanks
Wow thanks so much. I think I will be doing something fun for my daughter as she is the queen of bling.
It's a good life!
Terri E.
I love the tag you made. I never would have thought of it! I can't wait to see the rest of the set!
Of course the first things that come to mind when I think of what I could make with this set are cards and book marks. Scrapbooking titles would be cool too.
Thanks for the chance to win it!
This is adorable, girl!!
And thanks for the the kind words on my blog, just the pick-me-up I needed!
I hope that all is well with you :)

Here's my 2nd post as a subscriber - would also love to make some personalized journals for my gal pals with this set. Thanks for a chance to win!
What a unique set! I think it would be fun to make a chunky, funky pendant for a necklace.
This is my 2nd entry *fingers crossed*
This is so cute- I have not ever played with the crystals or the ultra embossing powder- I see some purchases in my future! I would love to try to make zipper pulls, luggage tag (a little extra to add to the suitcase so you know it is yours!), and locker charms! I am sure I will think of more uses so I hope I win! LOL debb
OMG!!! This is the coolest project ever!! I never would have thought of this! People would love to have these little monogrammed tags! i am so giving this a try! Thanks for the wonderful idea!

this is great, Cammie! tfs - been wondering how the UTEE & melting put work. I'd make some personalized jewelry with mine!
id love to make some charms and pendant pieces..this makes me think that i MUST get a melting pot.
how cool!!!! it'd be great to make necklaces for party favors!!
I have oodles of ideas for this set like cards, bookmarks, notebooks, and I have to try that jewelry idea too. Thanks for sharing!
This is adorable!!!! It would be great for tags for kid's bags for school or sports too!
I would make a diaper bag tag for my sweet little niece! How cute is this!!
Totally cool Carolyn! I'm into making bookmarks lately...maybe that or even a new backpack tag for Chloe. The one I made her at the beginning of the year is no longer "cool" or so she says...haha!
What a precious little purse tag! You've clearly outdone yourself. I would love to make a tag like yours for my daughter's backpack zipper pull. I'm sure she'd love a coordinating bookmark too. I subscribe through Google Reader, but you already knew that.
Fabulous project Cammie!! Those little pendants are so much fun to work with - so many possibilities!! I love the alphabet - great idea!
Cammie, What a cute set & project. Perfect for jewelry & other ideas. I probably would make several personalized bookmarks for my library friends. Thanks for sharing. - Marlene

Cute project, but I don't have a melting pot! I think I would like to make bookmarks for my class.

January went by way too fast, didn't it?
Big Hugs, Nicole xox
I was thinking bookmarks, luggage tags fridge magnets, backpack tags, you could make a medallion of sorts and wrap it around a candle, T & C for weddings (Bride & groom's initials) the possiblities are endless!!
Second post-of course I subscribe! Do you think I'd miss out on a Cammie post?
OMG!!! I am so loving this Cammie.. Hope you like Ft. Hood.. San Antonio misses you..
Michelle
Oh how fun! I would love to use this set to create little initial tags for all of my friends to hang on their crafting totes - since so many of us have the same ones!!!
My first thought was personalized key chains or bookmarks which I am sure has been posted by many others as well. Love the purse and the tag. Nice tutorial too--always fun to learn something new.
Here is my second entry as a subscriber. I love bling added to anything. Handmade bling will just add the extra to anything you add it too.
LOVE this! I would want to try THIS!!!
Wow...the possibilities are endless with this set. Purses, backpacks, diaperbags,laptop bags... really just about any item that you would care to add a special little bling to.
I would love to make some name tags for the kids cubbies in the mudroom or closet.
i'm loving this set. i would probably make jewlery for my daughter. Kayla T.
soooo Kool !! Im loving this :)
i'm a subscriber. Kayla T.
Love the tag you made Carolyn - I think I'd use the alphabet for cards - cutting out the letters to form the word I needed for the card! very cute idea with the circles ready for the bling!
Ooooh! Very cute! I would personalize some of my son's items. Thanks for a chance to win!
Post #2 - I'm a subscriber. I love your blog!!!!
Ohh, I love this! I really want to start using alphabet stamps in my scrapbooks instead of stickers and chipboard.
That is seriously cute. What a fun way to dress up a bag. I would definitely make those! I'm also imagining the possibilities of the letters with the bling on them for my daughter's scrapbook... she's a total little princess that loves anything that shines. Super excited for the release!
What a fun project. And it can be used for so many things.....Thanks for sharing it with us.
This is a really great use of this set! I'm impressed.
Love the jewerly initial Cammie, such a great idea! Oh yeah Kim mentioned to ask you to post a pic of the bracelet that they made you :)
Such a cool alphabet - and your idea is awesome.
This looks like a lot of fun! Now I need a melting pot (: Thanks, LOL!
Your tag is adorable! I would love to make charms for my dogs and cats collars.

Beautiful project!! Would love to make some projects for my little girl - she would LOVE the bling!!
And here's comment #2. Have a great day!!
That was a great pendant tutorial. It looked really great. I would like to win this blog candy so I could personalize things like stationary and card boxes. This stamp set and gems would make the perfect bling accessory for things like that.
I'm sorry if this is a duplicate post - although I do have you in my Google Reader, so I guess it's okay.
I think your tag is way cute and would love to make that exact project!!
Creative project! I think this set will be so versatile. How about a luggage tag. Would LOVE to own it.
How cute! The possibilities are endless. Bookmarks, personalized notecards, etc.
I love you projects, always so nice :) I'd make a bulletin board for my step daughter's room, that way it'd always have a "cool" border :)
Comment #2 :) LOVE you're blog!
Wow! What a great set and I loved the tag you made with it. I would adapt it ever so slightly to make my Westie Ruby a dog tag! Thanks for the chance of winning your fab blog candy!
This looks like so much fun.

I think I need to try this utee stuff and this stamp has given me a reason.
Hugs
Heather
ooooh, love it! Is the UTEE waterproof (or resistant) once it's set?
Very creative! I would like to try what you did here. Just think of all the gifts it would make!!
I subscribe therefore my second entry! You're a jewel!!
I would love to make your adorable bag tag.....Cute!!
Such an adorable tag! I would love to make a jewelry type project, similar to yours& of course use them for scrapbooking pages.
This is adorable! I would love this set so that next year I can just "address" my Christmas presents with blinged out monograms! What a fantastic idea this "Bling 'Bet" is! Thanks for sharing your project! - Christine aka Stampin' Ninja
Totally adorable. For me, I would say I would have to make my favourite gift to give my girlfriends these days, some hand-made monogrammed note-cards. Everyone seems to really appreciate these when they get them!
Wow...what a great project! I'd love to make a personalized photo frame with the Bling 'Bet. :)
what a cool alhpabet, I'm excited!
So cute. Let's see, I would probably make a keyring for my daughter's backpack. It's all about the bling!!!!
Since I am a subscriber to your blog, here is my 2nd post. Another fun thing that I would make would be some kind of attachment for a glass. Like the rings that they put on wine glasses, etc. This would be cute to attach on glasses like that. Another idea would be a mongrammed glass. Love the melting pot, I've never seen one of those. TFS
Toooooooooooooo cute! I love it. Hope you have a great day!
Love this tag, it is too cool; I can think of so many uses for it! I'm off to bounce around and see the others. Thanks Cammie
Entry #2 for me....Thanks Cammie
I think the alphabet would be fun to make a game with my kids to work on our alphabet.
I would make key chains out of them and give them as gifts...or keep them myself and they would label the different cars. Thanks for offering such great candy. Cathy
I'm a subscriber through my google reader! I love that I get to see all your postings and not miss one! Another thing I might use this set for is a set of monogrammed cards, stationery and desk accessories. Cathy
this id great, love all your projects
Finished the hop and what neat projects! The ones I'd like to do are yours, joanne's, and the last one of all, the darling baby card and blocks. Also loved the one with the designer paper in the 'holes'... so many neat ideas!
Absolutely gorgeous pendant ~ I'm sure my girls would love that! I think some monogrammed book marks with those over-sized paper clips would be cute, and of course monogrammed cards. There are so many possibilities with this set. Thanks for the chance to win :)
Cammie this is awesome!!!! I love it!!!!! I would love to make a custom braclet for my mom and sister with this set! Your handbag charm turned out so adrorable!
Hugs~ Kim
I love this idea!! So cute Cammie! Oh, the possibilities with this one! I love your tag and think I would make one of those for on my daughter's backpack. I could probably also come up with lots of other people who might need a tag just so I can play some more! ;)
This is WAY too cool, Cammie - fabulous idea!!
Love your purse tag. I would like to make one for my pull over jacket to attach to the zipper. Thanks for the chance to win!
Cammie, i received an email that I unsubscribed from your blog. This happened to me on another blog too. I didn't unsubscribe but I went ahead and subscribed again. If you are getting others unsubscribing theere may be a problem with Feedblitz. Just wanted you to know I still love your blog!!
I think this set would be cute to make a shadow box for a girl. Love the tag you made!
The purse charm is so cute. I think it would be great for the kids - "identifier" for gym bags, book bags, etc. Also cute for albums/scrapbooks.
Bulletin boards or personal journals
Would be great for notecards!
This is my second entry since I'm a subscriber.
Thanks for the chance to win!
So cute. I think it would be neat to add to a luggage tag.
To make some things for my daughter's room.
Cammie,
I love your blog, you are so inspiring.
I think that it would make a cool pull for a purse.
Donna Coffman
I LOVE the new Bling bet and hot fixx tool - the possibilities are endless really, but I can picture making nameplate signs for my niece with it first! Thanks for the chance to win Cammie!
~Meredith
Gorgeous..I would love to make letters to spell out my son's name and then hang it from a bracelet that I could wear..something about him made especially by me. This would be the perfect little bit of bling to do it with.
What a wonderful Alphabet Set. CLEVER ! I bounced thru the blogs - so many fun projects but I love what you did. I can see how fun this would be to make necklaces for my grand-daughters.
I think that it would be fun to make a necklace with it, can't wait to try this technique, thanks for sharing!!
WOW! so cool! I love the tag idea. I think it would be cool to make them so my nieces could personalize their school bags, golf club bags and other bags. Having twins in the family we have to be creative so everyone knows who's is who's. LOL
Very cute. It would be nice for personalized necklaces or bracelets.
Charmaine
I LOVE the jewelry tag that you made with the new alphabet!!
Very cute! This would be great for personalized items - jewelry, bookmarks, stationary!
This is a really neat idea...since my daughter loves bling even more than I do...I would be able to make anything for her to enjoy.
Oh I love this! So very cute. It is a very unique alphabet set...love the style. As for me, I would make baby items (thinking stamping out a baby's name on a narrow frame), cards, stationary, magnets (as in ititials)..on and on I could go.
I am off to subscribe for another chance. I *hear* your blog! One of my first stops when I blog hop!

Christine aka Stampin' Ninja
Just coming back for my second chance! Thanks!
I think it would be great to stamp on shrink plastic and poke out the holes and string the initial on a necklace. Thanks for sharing!
That is so cute! I would love to win a set to try it.
Lori in KS
