Bird Banter Card in a Box - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Bird Banter Card in a Box - TGIF Challenges

January 26, 2018

Hello and happy Friday! This weeks TGIF Challenge is card in a box. Can you believe in all my years of crafting that I never made a card in a box? It took an awesome challenge for me to take on this project and it was super fun and not hard at all, just a little time consuming. You ready to give it a try? My friend and fellow design team member Carolynn Sander created a fabulous tutorial for you to follow. You can find it on her blog or watch it on her You Tube channel here.

Box cards fold flat to fit into an envelope and then pop open to be an interactive 3D card. I made this card for my dad's birthday and he was impressed. The guts of my card in a box feature the Bird Banter stamp set and the Happy Birthday Thinlet. Additional supplies are listed out below. Be sure to check out the TGIF Challenge blog for more inspiration. I can't wait to see what you make!

Let's SALE-A-BRATE! Heartfelt Blooms - Stampin' Up! Artisan Blog Hop

January 25, 2018

I have quite a few reasons to celebrate 2018. A healthy family, a happy home, supportive friends, and a fabulous new stamping experience! Today I am celebrating because this is MY FIRST official global Artisan Design Team Blog post. This is also the the first Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop for the 2018 team. Super exciting, a little overwhelming and I won't lie ... a little stressful. The first time doing new things can be intimating.

With our first hop we are lucky to share a few of this years SALE-A-BRATION stamp sets. Are you familiar with Stampin' Up!'s SALE-A-BRATION promotion? If so skip ahead a few lines. If not, SALE-A-BRATION is an annual promotion Stampin' Up! holds where every 50$ purchase earns a free product. How cool is that?! The free product I am highlighting is this post is the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set.

'Heartfelt Blooms' is the first release of a new type of stamp art called DISTINKTIVE. New Distinktive stamps lay down the ink at different opacities giving the finished image more depth—like a photograph. A light tap in the ink pad goes a long way ...

For this 'Amazing' card I've masked and layered various ink colors to create this multi-colored flower.

Screen Shot 2018-01-13 at 10.29.33 PM.png

The Distinktive stamps look phenomenal stamped in one color! The way this flower stamp laid down ink instantly reminded me a non-silver photography class I took in college where we learned about gum bichromate printing. I love how the flower on this 'Sending Heartfelt Thoughts' card looks like a flat old photograph.

The large flower image from Heartfelt Blooms also creates a beautiful all over pattern when repeatedly stamped. Don't worry about overlapping images, the Distinctive stamp lays ink down well over the previously stamped image edges.

After I created this flower background (in Peekaboo Peach) I placed a sheet a vellum paper over the top to soften the look.

This 'Thank You' card also features the 'YOU' die-cut form the Celebrate You thinlets. These Celebrate You thinlets are available to earn for free with a qualifying Stampin' Up! purchase during Sale-a-bration.

I am in love with these new narrow note cards and envelopes. Are you looking to create the quickest WOW project ever? Stamp the large flower image on each card front in your favorite color. Layer with a stamped message, patterned paper and a little baker's twine. Accent with a pearl or two and you've just created the quickest handmade gift sure to wow.

I'm so excited to begin this Artisan Design Team journey. Now be sure to check out what the rest of the team has in store. Next up is the super inspiring and talented Connie Collins. Thanks for joining us today!

Supplies for all of these projects are listed below. If you have any questions about the supplies used or how these projects were made drop me an email and I'll get back with you.

Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop

January 21, 2018

Hello! 2018 is the year for seriously trying out new things. I've been a hesitant scrapbooker and honestly end up only creating 1-2 layouts a year. THIS IS MY YEAR to do better and try harder. I've joined up with talented team of Stampin' Up! scrapbookers to hop along the 3rd Sunday of every month and share exclusively scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! products.

We were asked to create a page using only these colors; Coral, Green and Black. Any coral, any green and black. I used shades of Calypso Coral and Blushing Bride along with shades of Old Olive and Pear Pizazz.

I think pocket pages are the most realistic way for me to enter this field. I decided to create a memory book for my Grandma. She has a summer birthday and I thought a book of memories from the last few years would make a nice gift. My first page documents a recent visit. I used products from the Petal Passion Memories and More line, and Stampin' Blends.

I hope to learn and will certainly be inspired from all the other fabulous creators in this hop. Ok, let's go! Thanks for visiting.

Hop along with us and check out what the group has created. Next up is Jessie!

A sweet card for a sweet friend! We are CASING the amazing @tinkermom85 this week @global_design_project - I love how Wendy stamped on patterned paper to add a quick pop of color. I took a similar approach and stamped the berries from the 'Filled with Sweetness' stamp set onto red patterned paper. The green stems were stamped directly onto Garden Green cardstock and then cut out and layered onto the red berries. Play along and tag your project #gdp544 The acronym CASE typically stands for Copy And Share Everything (or sometimes Copy And Selectively Edit). It refers to finding inspiration in another person's card design-such as layout, colors, or techniques, and recreating it, either exactly or with minor changes. #stampinup #filledwithsweetness #cardmaker #cardmakingideas

Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel

When I think of pastel I think watercolor. For this month our 'Use Your Stash' theme is PRETTY PASTEL. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white emboss powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punch out using various flower punches. The flower centers are irridescent rhinestones. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies! Follow along below. @i.heart.stamps - You are here! @hammondandpenny @simple_stamper @bellestampinwithann @simplyfairies_kimfee @stampin_met_monique @vickiboucher @craftsomnia #useyourstash #papercraft #cardmaker #stampinup

Cute little chicks lined up in a row … I was eyeballing it to try my hand at stamp alignment with this new Stampin’ Positioner tool. My free form is not perfect, but it doesn’t matter in the end when you mount your card crooked. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣 Stamp set is called Easter Basket and it’s on the last chance list. Stampin’ Positioner tool coming May 5th #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakingreels
