In the City - Case the Designer #GDP112

November 6, 2017
Charlet Designer Badge.jpg

Boy, do I have exciting news. I've been asked to become a design team member with the Global Design Project! You guys, this is awesome! I've been a long time fan and player of the GDP weekly challenges. The designers on the GDP team are active Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, super duper talented, and are from all around the globe! 

The Global Design Project has a new challenge every week that you can play along with. Every week is a different type of challenge; It could be Colour, Theme, CASE or Sketch inspiration.

This weeks challenge is to CASE the beautiful card that Connie Collins created. There are so many fun ways to interpret Connie's card.

I ended up making two cards for my first post with the GDP team. My first card ended up looking so much like Allison's card that I scrapped it and started over. HA - that's what can happen when you CASE! That card, using Christmas Sweaters, at the end of this post.

For the card I did end up submitting I decided to use the IN THE CITY host set. We have a lot of new neighbors moving into our area and this is perfect card to have on hand. The supply list of products are listed below.

 

Check out the Global Design Project blog to see all the various projects the designers have created and PLAY along with us! I can't wait to see what you create. Happy Stamping!

Trick or Treat - Halloween Scraps Card

October 31, 2017

Happy Halloween! I love this rad holiday and all the traditions it brings. I'm a little sad to share my last Halloween project this season but super excited to move onto Thanksgiving, more fall and Christmas projects. Paper crafting is so much fun.

This last card uses a bunch of scraps and outtakes from the various projects I worked on this month. As you may have noticed I used a lot of Pumpkin Pie water color wash backgrounds on my cards. I really liked with soft look against the contrast of orange and black images. Another favorite product this season is the black and white striped ribbon. LOVE IT!

I hope you have a happy and safe Halloween. TRICK or TREAT!

Letters for You Hello card 1.jpg

Letters for You - What Will You Stamp

October 30, 2017

WELL HELLO THERE! I find I make more HELLO cards than any other type of card. Not sure why that is but when I thought about what I wanted to make using the Letters For You stamp set for this weeks What Will You Stamp challenge, HELLO was the first word that popped in mind. 

Letters For You is such a great alphabet stamp set. It has the perfect sized letters to make a real statement on any project. The HELLO letters became my primary image for this card. I bumped the letters up and down along the baseline. To anchor these letters a little more visually I ran a couple of quick sewing stitches across the HELLO.  I really like this little detail.

What Will You Stamp is a team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who created projects each week showcasing many ways you can use a SINGLE stamp set. We encourage you to play along if you have the featured set. It's so much fun! Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

Pick A Pumpkin Celebrate card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Welcome to another edition of the Stamp Review Crew blog hop. This edition is focused on the Pick a Pumpkin stamp set. This is a stamp set I love and have used a ton recently. It is a must have set!

Want to know how I got that distressed black ink look? I keep an old (somewhat dry) black ink pad around. It still inks up stamp images but stamps really uneven. This uneven distressed look can be so cool sometimes and I decided it would look great with the pumpkins from the Pick a Pumpkin stamp set. I stamped each pumpkin in black ink and then colored over the top of each image with a Peekaboo Peach Stampin' Write marker. What do you think? I think it looks pretty cool.

Want to see more inspiration using the Pick a Pumpkin stamp set? Hop along with the Stamp Review Crew and check out all the amazing Pick A Pumpkin projects.  Up next is Tanya. 

A little background in case you are new to this hop: The Stamp Review Crew is a group of International Stampin' Up! demonstrators who want to show you how much you can do with ONE stamp set. Each edition of the Crew will showcase a new featured stamp set. Each stop along the hop will show you a different idea, or ideas using that set!

I adore cards with a floating backgrounds. They are so pretty! Here is a peek at how I created. First, I cut, colored, and assembled bunch of daffodil flowers. I popped up the flowers using dimensionals and arranged them around the greeting, trimming any excess off from around the edges. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking cardmakingreels
