Accented Blooms - Global Design Project - Just a Note theme

May 21, 2018

Hello again! The Global Design Project has another fabulous challenge for you. The round we have created cards with the the THEME: Just a note to say ... There are so many cards that could fit into this theme, practically every card I make.

I pulled out some new Stampin' Up! product to create this card and I am SO, SO pleased with the end result! The stamp set is called Accented Blooms and coordinated with the Tailored Tag Punch. I've colored the flowers with the 2018-2020 InColor Stampin' Write Markers. That fun little detail diamond on the card background is from the new Delightfully Detailed laser cut papers. So many awesome new products, coming soon (June 1).

Check out what the GDP designers have created with the theme and be sure to play along! Can't wait to see what you make. Tag your projects #gdp139 Thanks for visiting.

Sea of Textures & Under the Sea Octopus card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Sea of Textures - Global Design Project Sketch Challenge #GDP138

May 14, 2018

Hello friends. Welcome! The Global Design Project has a sketch challenge for you to participate in this week. It's a great sketch with many ways to interpret the design. I chose to feature and sneak peek a few new products coming soon from Stampin' Up! (June 1st). The stamp set is called Sea of Textures and included this awesome Octopus and many sea themed texture backgrounds. The coordinating framelits are called Under the Sea and include dies to cut out the Octopus as well as the awesome netting that's also shown on the card. The Designer Series Papers are called Tranquil Textures. This suite of products has a really cool look and is super easy to use.

Notice how the Octopus is multi-colored? I used two inks, (Blueberry Bushel and Berry Burst) and the Stamp-A-Ratus to create this multi-colored effect on the Octopus. To recreate this look stamp the Octopus in Blueberry Bushel ink first. Then re ink the Octopus image around the edges only using Berry Burst and stamp again. Repeat as often as you'd like to get the desired effect. The Stamp-A-Ratus makes it super easy to ink as many times as you need. Note - I went back in with a blender pen to color the whites of the squid legs and make them appear a softer pink and blue.

Check out what the GDP designers have created with this sketch and play along with us. Tag your projects #GDP138. Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!

Springtime Impressions - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Springtime Impressions - TGIFC159 Sketch Challenge

May 11, 2018

Welcome back friends. Happy Friday and that means it is time for another TGIF Challenge! We have an unique sketch to play along with. I just received some of the new catalog products on preorder and I couldn't wait to open them up and play. This card follows the sketch to the letter, however instead of a flower I used the butterfly die from the new Springtime Impressions thinlets.

The TGIFC designers have some lovely interpretations of this sketch. Check them out and play along! #tgifc159

Global Design Project Color Challenge - #GDP137

May 7, 2018

Hello friends and welcome to another Global Design Project challenge. This week's color challenge features three of my favorite colors! I adore Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party. I'm thrilled these colors will remain in Stampin' Up!'s color line up next year.

My card today is delicate and graphic. I used the beautiful intricate laser cut designs from the new Delightfully Detailed Designer Series Papers (available June 1) and a myriad of circle punches. These papers are fantastic and have so many uses. I can't wait until these get into many hands so we can all be inspired. The greeting on this card is also from a new stamp set, Rooted in Nature.

Check out what the designers at the Global Design Project have created with these colors here and be sure to play along with us!
