YAY! Amazing Life Happy New Year Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

YAY! Amazing Life Happy New Year Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

YAY! - Global Design Project Theme Challenge - GDP171

January 7, 2019
GDP171.jpg

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.

Fabulous Flamingo - Stamp Review Crew

January 6, 2019
Stamp Review Crew blog banner(2).png
Fabulous Flamingo (5 of 5).jpg

It Fabulous Flamingo time! The Stamp Review Crew is featuring projects using the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set. The Stamp Review Crew are an international group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that gets together to do a blog hop on the first and third Monday of each month featuring a single stamp set.

I love Flamingos. They are such a beautiful bird. With Valentine’s day around the corner I decided to play off the pink and create a couple of Valentine’s Day card. This card is all about HEARTS! I used the new ‘Be Mine stitched heart framelit dies’. These dies are featured in the new Occasions mini catalog and were seriously my first purchase! The neck of the flamingo creates a heart when mirror flipped so I had to try the old mirror stamping technique using the Stamparatus and the silicon craft mat. If you are not familiar with how to do this I created a simple tutorial and video in this previous post. Since this flamingo image is a four-step stamped image I need to mirror stamp the components all four times. It was a little tricky to align at first but all worked out in the end. What do you think? Kind of fun, these kissing Flamingos …

Often when I craft I have multiple stamped images and die cut pieces left over. I’ve used a few of those up to create a second Valentine card.

Fabulous Flamingo (1 of 5).jpg

Do you like the border of intricate lace hearts? It’s such a cool die, plus when cut you get all sorts of tiny hearts to use elsewhere. This die is also included in the Be Mine Stitched framelits. The Large white heart comes from the inside (negative space) of the scalloped heart shape from the first card. The fun pink papers on both cards come from the Tropical Escape 6x6 Designer Series papers.

Are you ready to see what this Flamingo hop has in store? Up next is Dawn Kidd. Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you!

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.

Do you like these colors? Play along with us. Visit the TGIF Challenges Blog for more information. Thanks for visiting.

Creating Kindness Blog Hop - Butterfly Bendi Card

Hello friends and Happy New Year! For me, 2019 is about trying new things. Particularly in my crafting. Have you ever made a Bendi card? This is MY FIRST attempt at a Bendi card. Honestly, I didn't know what a Bendi card was. I had to do a little research, gotta love google images. A Bendi card is basically a card with two flaps that interlock to create a rounded bend fold. The card can be closed flat and mailed in a standard envelope. Once I understood what I was making I set to create a template. I like to make the majority of my cards portrait orientation. Using one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper you can create two bendi 4.25 x 5.5 cards. Download this template if you like my design.

This card features all sorts of fun new products available NOW in the new Occasions Catalog and as part of Saleabration promotion. The beautiful papers on this card come from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series papers. The small colorful butterfly has been punched from the papers using the Butterfly Duet punch. And the intricate butterflies that have been die cut in white are created using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlet dies. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.

Many of my crafty friends on this hop will have videos showing how they created their bendi cards. These are excellent resources if are are in the market to create a bendi card for yourself..

Playing with a punch of Darling Duckling. Thoughts in this color? This yellow is interesting. I like how it looks paired with Coastal Cabana and Pool Party. Card created using inspiration from two sketches: #tgifc576 and #gdp546 @global_design_project - Camera image is from Capturing Smiles bundle. Dies in the background is called Eyelet Blooms. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmakingchallenge
Making multiples! I forgot to film a few steps along the way, but you get the gist. This card was created using the ‘Capturing Smiles stamp and die bundle. I first cut and stamped 20 cameras. 📷 Then started an assembly line to create the custom watercolor background. I used the cut film strip to use as a stencil. I laid the film strip on watercolor paper, then misted and let dry. Later I reused that film strip on the card. Double duty. 📸 Card created for 2026 OnStage Artisan swap. ❤️ #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #capturingsmiles #cardmakingreels
