YAY! - Global Design Project Theme Challenge - GDP171

Hello friends! We are one week into the new year and so far I’m loving 2019. How about you? The first week of a new year can be so productive. I’m all inspired and motivated to organize, clean and even fit some crafting in. Ha! Let’s be real … I always find time for crafting. Therapy.

For this NEW YEAR the Global Design Project has a NEW theme challenge for you. A NEW YEAR!

Did you make a cool calendar, or do you have a crafty vision board? Some of my friends send out a new year card / letter instead of a Christmas card or holiday card. Share your new year creation with us! I made a fun card that can double as a thank you card. I always need thank you cards after Christmas.

My card features a super cool new birthday set called Amazing Life (Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog). I really love the look of this set. There are so many great images in this set but I opted to use the YAY! phrase because it sums up how I feel about this new year. I repeatedly stamped the YAY to create a background. Then I colored in the YAYs with my Stampin’ Blends for that ombre look. See the four step coloring process below. Also, a full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.

Step 1: color bottom of YAY with darkest Calypso Blend.

Step 2: color top of YAY with lightest Petal Pink Blend.

Step 3: color middle of YAY with lightest Calypso Blend.

Step 4: Blend colors on YAY with lightest Petal Pink Blend.

Piece of Cake - TGIF Challenges Color - TGIFC193

Piece of Cake card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

HOPE THIS YEAR IS A PIECE OF CAKE! So true. This week the TGIF Challenges design team have a color challenge for you: Melon Mambo, Lemon Lime Twist & Smokey Slate/Silver. #tgifc193

I created an interactive birthday card using a new stamp set and punch from the Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Occasions catalog called ‘Piece of Cake’. A full list of supplies can be found below. What makes the card interactive? It has a window on the front that opens to a little rosette badge adhered to the inside. Kind of fun and different.

Geared Up (vinyl birthday card) - Global Design Project Sketch Challenge - GDP170

Hello! We have a SKETCH challenge for this round of the Global Design Project. Since it’s the holiday season (this time of year can be so busy), this challenge will last for two weeks. Hopefully you can find a minute to craft with us.

I wanted to create a very specific birthday card for my brother who is a fan of vinyl records. This sketch worked out perfectly! The stamp set is called Geared Up and is available Jan 5th in the Stampin Up! Occasions catalog. The set is full of car images but I used the verse and the texture pieces for this card. The record player was created using various circle punches and the Classic Garage Designer Series papers. The needle for the record player was hand cut from a silver foil sheet.

Check out the Global Design Project blog to see what the other designers have created for this challenge and play along with us! FYI - I made him a record card last year. You can see that version here if you are interested. Happy stamping. #gdp170 Thanks for stopping by. Hope your holidays and birthdays are MERRY!

Neighbor Gifts & Stocking Stuffers- TGIF Challenges Theme - TGIFC191

Hung with Care Notecards - Charlet Mallett

Hello friends! Christmas is almost here. Do you have all your gifting complete? I’m finishing up a few little neighbor gifts and stocking stuffers. The timing of this TGIF Challenge couldn't be better.

I have three tips for you to finish up your gift packaging.

1. Simple stamping. Stampin’ Up! has challenged us demonstrators to create projects that show how easy it is to create a beautiful project using stamps, ink and paper. This is their theme for 2019. Follow the hashtag #simplestamping for more ideas. I created a few simple notecard and envelope sets using the Hung with Care stamp set. The images in this set are perfect to stamp in one color or mix is up using Stampin’ Write Markers.

2. CASE! Copy and share everything. This time of year why try to reinvent the wheel. If you come across something cute in the stamping world, case away. Be sure to credit the original artist and you are good to go. These fun tags will go on popcorn buckets for neighbors. The original design was created by fellow TGIF designer Bree Renwick (@craftsomnia). Thanks for the great idea Bree!

3. KISS - Keep it simple stupid. Stupid is such a rude word but the KISS sentiment holds true. Use what you have on hand, pull your scraps together, don’t overthink and really just keep it simple. These fun bottle brush tree tags were so easy and SIMPLE!
