A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Alternates for Grown with Kindness

Grown with Kindness - February 2019 Paper Pumpkin Stamp set.

What a kit! If you love succulents you’ll be thrilled with the February Grown with Kindness Paper Pumpkin kit. I’m particularly fond of the stamp set (I think the kits are killing it lately with the stamp sets). Take a look at this amazing set. The sentiments are fantastic.

I created two alternate cards using this months kit. These cards can be recreated with the kit and some coloring tools. I love the image of the succulent in the teacup. I’ve added Stampin’ Blends to color in the images from the kit.

Cardmaking superpowers~ Cards for Crafty friends!

February 27, 2019

Sharing something na little different .Here’s a quick post about a quick card made for a crafty friend. This card uses a couple Picket Fence Studios and Stamp Market stamp sets. I am not affiliated with these companies but just LOVE stamps, any stamp! I thought this would be a fun card to send to a fellow cardmaker. The sentiment is perfect.

This card is really simple. just ink and paper. No ribbons or embellishments needed, The card base uses Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock and the stamped image has been colored using various Copic sketch markers.

Itty Bitty Greetings and Happiness Blooms Memories and More graduation card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Itty Bitty Greetings - Global Design Project Sketch Challenge - GDP178

February 25, 2019

Hello and happy Monday. I’ve got a cheery card for you today.

I opted to use a few products that I haven’t cracked open for my Global Design Project card for this week’s sketch challenge. I started out playing around the Happiness Blooms Memories and More kit. I love the designs of the little 3x4 cards and thought one might make a great base for the card layout. The Happiness Blooms M&M kit also includes some fun die cut images and that is where I pulled the ‘Smile’ sentiment from.

Bitty Blooms is a mini four pack of flower punches that coordinate with the imagery in the M&M kit. I used the 8 petal flower to punch and create a few floating flowers to frame the sentiment.

It’s a little early for graduation card however I know I will need a few of these kinds of cards in the coming months so I pulled the Happy Graduation sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set.

Ready to see more cards using this sketch as inspiration? Check out the Global Design Project blog. Play along with us! Tag your projects #gdp178 so we can be sure to find them on Pinterest and Instagram.

Fancy Friday Blog Hop - February - favorite Occasions product

February 21, 2019

Hello friends! Welcome to the February Fancy Friday blog hop. Good stuff is in store.

Who are we? The Fancy Friday team is a group of talented Stampin' Up! Artisan's, both past and present. We hop the last Friday of the month.

This round we are sharing our favorite Occasions catalog products. I am so excited to see what my crafty friends have chosen as their favorites. In fact once I see what they’ve made I’m certain my favorites might change. Lol, I’m funny like that.

I’ve got so many occasions favs it’s hard to narrow it down to just one thing. If it HAD to be one thing I’d choose the rectangle framelits. These are a must have tool that I will use forever and ever. However when it comes to stamps I am swooning over the the Flowering Desert stamp set. I love the painterly style and it’s just so much fun to stamp with. The builder pieces are so versatile and allow for creating really unique scenes. Plus I’m really into cactus imagery right now (who isn’t).

Simple stamping… sometimes it fun to make a single layer card with only stamps! This card uses three images from the stamp set. You can create a similar look with any set, just use a little blue painters tape or washi tape to mask off the middle and stamp a symmetrical boarder on either side.
