Hello friends! I’m excited to share something new with you today. Have you heard of the Crafty Carrot Collective? It’s an online subscription tutorial program that four of my Stampin’ Up! Artisan friends put together. Each month the CCC feature a new collection of products through quality projects that you can see in this blog hop. Then if you subscribe to the tutorial program you’ll get access to five exclusive LIVE interactive project tutorials.

For March, the Crafty Carrot Collective is featuring the Geared Up Garage product suite and the team has asked me to be one of their guest designers. YAY! I am excited to play with these products and share some ideas with you. Also, if you are new here my name is Charlet Mallett. I’ve been an avid paper crafter (mostly cardmaker) for over 15 years. Cardmaking is my hobby, business and creative outlet. I post projects here and on instagram regularly if you are looking for an influx of inspiration. WELCOME!

Are you familiar with the Geared Up Garage products? This suite is perfect for projects that you might want to have a more “masculine” look & feel. The bundle includes a stamp set with coordinating dies that feature all sorts of images you might see in a car repair garage. There is a coordinating set of 6x6 designer series papers full of additional motor themed images in rich colors. This collection also includes fun metal wrench and key embellishments.

I decided to create a Father’s day card using this collection and focused on the gear imagery. Tranquil Tide is such a great color and is the base for this card. In fact, I’m digging the monochromatic feel of the card when paired with shades of gray. A full list of project supplies can be found below.

More details about the Crafty Carrot Collective and their subscription program can be found here.

Part of My Story - Global Design Project CASE Challenge - GDP176

February 11, 2019
gdp176.jpg

HELLO Friends! Ready for another Global Design Project challenge? This week we are casing this colorful card from Steffi Helmschrott.

When I saw this card from Steffi I knew instantly I want to create a bright, rainbow watercolor background but wasn't quite sure where to go from there.

Do you like these bright colors? The combo is Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay. I used a little drop from the ink refill and an aqua painter to apply the color and love how vibrant these colors appear.

I thought it would be fun to create the eclipse technique using the Be Mine framelits. I decided to give the watercolor background a little dimension using a textured impressions embossing folder. I like this look however if I were to recreate this card I would dampen the watercolor paper before embossing just a bit to eliminate the cracking.

The verse come from the Part of My Story stamp set (free with 50$ purchase). I chopped it up to mimic how Steffi laid out her verse. Super fun and bright!

Check out the Global Design Project blog to see what the other designers have created using this CARD as inspiration. Play along with us! Tag your projects #gdp176 so we can be sure to find them on Pinterest and Instagram.

Lemon Zest Lemonade Birthday Card, Charlet Mallett

Lemon Zest Lemonade Birthday Card, Charlet Mallett

Creating Kindness Blog Hop - BIRTHDAY!

February 7, 2019
27629490_10211302687302726_717694866806272118_o.jpg

Boy am I longing for a little tropical relief in this middle of this freezing February. Maybe that’s why I crafted this birthday card with such a summery feel? Are you surviving your winter? I really need to see the sun!

I had a birthday last week. So many friends sent along lovely birthday cards. I am so touched by their friendship and really inspired by the beautiful cards that popped up in my mail. Birthdays are on the brain, which make’s the timing of this month’s CK theme perfect. The Creating Kindness crew are creating birthday cards!!! I always need a birthday card on hand. Hopefully this hop will provide you with tons of varied inspiration to get your birthday card ideas flowing.

There are so many fun NEW tools in the Occasion catalog but I choose to use some favorite “oldie” stamp sets that have been around a bit to create this juicy & refreshing birthday card. A full list of supplies can be found below.

Lovely Lattice Easter Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Lovely Lattice Easter Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Lovely Lattice - Global Design Project Theme Challenge - GDP175

February 4, 2019
GDP175.jpg

Along the Garden path… sure sounds like a nice theme for a challenge! It just happens to be the theme challenge for this weeks Global Design Project.

When I think of Garden Path I think of florals and spring. That’s my favorite time of year to play around in the garden. I decided to use the Lovely Lattice stamp set and the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set to create a pretty spring Easter card. When you have a composed stamp set like this Lovely Lace set the hard work of designing a card is pretty much eliminated. Just stamp, color and go! This image has been stamped in black and then colored with Calypso Coral Blends. This card also features the gorgeous Lace Dynamic textured impressions embossing folder. I like how the Lattice lace grid image in the stamp is mimicked in the lace design on the embossing folder.

Check out the Global Design Project blog to see what the other designers have created using this theme as inspiration. Play along with us! Tag your projects #gdp175 so we can be sure to find them on Pinterest and Instagram.

The sentiment is from a brand spanking new greeting set (Sending Salutations) available in May, courtesy of prize patrol at OnStage. I returned from Long Beach to Maine and what we call “fake spring”. Haha, maybe sunny long enough to clean the yard? #stampinup #sendingsalutations #cardmaker #cardmakingideas
