Theme Challenge - Global Design Project #GDP119 - Hearts Come Home

Merry Christmas! The Global Design Project theme this week is the perfect challenge for this time of year. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! I happen to be home visiting family in Utah this week enjoying a bunch of good food and family traditions.

My card this week features the Hearts Come Home Stamp set and thinlets. Do you have some crafting free time on your hands in the next two weeks? Play along with us and share your Home for the Holidays projects. This theme challenge will be running for 2 weeks (instead of one).

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

LAST MINUTE SANTA - TGIF Challenge 139 - Labels to the rescue!

This weeks TGIF challenge is LAST MINUTE SANTA! Boy do I have a lot of hodgepodge last minute Santa packaging coming together. I'm all over the board as I am trying to use up my Holiday mini catalog supplies. How about you? Are you getting it all done?

Snap a quick photo of your Last Minute Santa cards, packaging, whatever and play along with us over at TGIF challenges. I know ... it's one more thing to do, but it sure is fun. #tgifc139

We are headed out of town for vacation and I need to drop off teacher gifts, neighbor gifts and other last minute goodies. I did make it to the post office last week. Whew. Self imposed chaos. Paper crafting to the rescue!

I make caramels every year. The recipe is my mom's and it's fabulous. You can find that recipe here. This year I made little sets of 3 caramels packaged in a cellophane bag with a paper topper. I used the Labels to Love stamp set to help decorate. That set sure has come in handy. I had a handful of these around for the kids to hand out. 

I also made up my November Paper Pumpkin and stuffed those little stockings with caramels. Again, perfect little treats for passing out. Sorry, no pictures of those ... I forgot.

And ... I used the fun little Trim Your Stocking box die to create these paper stockings. It turned out to be another cute way to hand out treats.

This next card uses another label set. The Merry Little Labels stamp set is full of fantastic holiday tag images. All of these images (and the images from Labels to Love) coordinated with the Everyday Label punch. This set is retiring in a few short days is currently discounted (while supplies last)! See below for purchase links.

Using the Let It Snow label, I made this adorable pink, white and gold winter card. It's sweet, simple, and PINK.  I have a friend who has a pink and white Christmas tree and this card would be perfect for her. Do you like the gold Winter Wonder designer paper, gold foil snowflakes and snowflake embossing folder? These products also are retiring at the end of the year. Last chance to pick up these awesome goods.

Lots of Lavender - Global Design Project #GDP118

Hi guys! Welcome back. It's time for another Global Design Project Challenge. This week we have a sketch for you to follow along with some great inspiration on how each of the designers interpreted this sketch. Check out the GDP blog and get ready to be impressed. I sure was. Now, I'd love to see what you create using this sketch. Play along with us.

While I'm still stamping quite a bit for my Christmas gifts and various projects it's nice to take a break and create a card using some NEW products! So new in fact that I don't have a supply list ready for you. 

A little about my card ... Like I mentioned, I am using new products from the Sale-A- Bration promotion and the Occasions 2018 catalog. These items are available to earn and for purchase starting January 3rd. The stamp set I'm using is called Lots of Lavender and is part of the Sale-A-Bration promotion (set is FREE with a 50$ purchase). This 11 piece set has a large beautiful 2 step flower shown on the card. The color layer of the flower has been stamped in Powder Pink and then colored in with Calypso Coral Blends. The background papers and the YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE sentiment come from the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack ($10.00).  I really like how this turned out. What do you think?

Lots of Lavender - Charlet Mallett - Stampin' Up! 2018 Sale-a-bration.

Now for something completely different and a little something on a personal note ... For the past couple of years I have given my Grandma 12 cards for Christmas. The gift is basically an adaptation on 12 days of Christmas where she gets to open up a card each day leading up to the 25th. I hand picked cards that I created over the last year with her in mind. She loves to make cards but has such a hard time with it now.  Last summer, we were card making and I showed her the 'This Little Piggy' stamp set  in the catalog and she was not a fan of the set at all. She did not understand who would want a pig card or want to make a pig card. I gave her this card as part of the 12 ... well, now she understands. She laughed when she opened it. My mom texted me this photo of her with her Pig card, she loved it! Ha, you see the sample sells the set. :) Love you Grandma!

Christmas Quilt - Stamp Review Crew

Merry Little Christmas Quilt card - Charlet Mallett - Stampin' Up!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to another Stamp Review. The Stamp Review Crew is focusing on Christmas Quilt for this editions blog hop. I've been using Christmas Quilt a fair amount recently. I've been making cards as a gift for a friend who loves to quilt as well as a few other hops. See some of my previous cards using this set at the end of this post. Today I have two more to share and I love how they turned out, hope you do too.  

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas! I love that Christmas song and the phrase used on this stamp greeting. This card uses vellum to back the quilt window. Light and airy! I used a star stitched felt embellishment and Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon to accent the window.

Peace Christmas Quilt - Charlet Mallett - Stampin' Up!

Peace Card: Look how nicely the square scallop shape layers with the quilted square outline. Perfect fit. I love to sew on cards but had no need for this card. Do you like the FAUX cross-stitch detail in white along the top and bottom of the designer series paper? Its a fun little stamp detail I didn't want you to miss.

More Christmas Quilt inspiration is ahead. Next up is my talented friend Tanya! I can't wait to see what she has created.
