Are you making handmade Valentine’s this year? If so, you should give the HEY LOVE stamp set ($19.00 USD) a serious look. I’m totally falling in love with this stamp set. First the images are darling. Second they are super fun to color. And third, they are punny. Triple threat.
These two card use similar supplies and have both been paired with the Be Mine framelits. A full list of supplies can be found below.
DISNEY! What to you think of when you think of Disney? My first thought was Princess (there are so many great Disney Princesses!). Our TGIF Challenge this week is the theme All About Disney so I decided to create my version of a princess card.
I found the frog & crown images from the ‘So Happy for You’ stamp set are ideal for creating this little Happy Birthday princess scene.
We’d love to see how you interpret Disney. Play along with us. Visit the TGIF Challenges Blog for more information. Thanks for visiting.
A couple of fun details about this card you may have missed …
1. Drop shadow. The little prince frog has a tiny gray shadow under him. This is easy to create using a Stampin’ Blend. Hand draw the shape to match the shape of the frog, making the shadow darker the closer it gets to the frog.
The frog is also colored and shaded using Stampin’ Blends.
See that cute little fly? The fly has been stamped but the little dotted line has been hand drawn using a black Stampin’ Write marker. Adding little details like these can make your card truly unique.
The background on this card was created using the brick stencil and glitter embossing paste. A little goes a long way and adds some extra texture to this card.
Die cut flowers have also been added to the vines to add even more 3D elements.

Here are a few fun cards I’ve created over the years using various watercolor techniques. Made by Charlet Mallett - Stampin’ Up!
Hi friends! You may have heard I am co-hosting a watercolor technique class. You read that right!!! It’s going to be so much fun. A large scale class is something I’ve wanted to check off my list for some time.
A little about my watercoloring background … While I do have some formal training, from my BFA degree many eons ago, I primary learned through my cardmaking. Trial, error and practice. I really love to incorporate watercolor into my stamping and card making. I primarily use it to create one of a kind custom backgrounds, stamping with and painting in images, and mixing with other mediums. I exclusively watercolor with Stampin’ Up! products. Use what you know, right? I’ve learned a few tricks over the years. What works for me and what doesn’t work so well.
My good friend (and watercolor master) Jenny Hall and I have paired up to share some knowledge. She’s also has an arsenal of tips. I learn new things from her daily. We are super excited to share a tiny bit of our watercolor tips with YOU!
Our Watercolor Technique class will be hosted LIVE in person in Atlantic City, NJ the day before the Stampin’ Up! OnStage Local event is taking place. If you are headed to Atlantic City join us! You can reserve your spot HERE. If you aren’t planning to be in Atlantic City on April 12 but still want in, no worries. We are offering this class TO GO.
