A Little Smile - Paper Pumpkin Alternates, Charlet Mallett - Stampin’ Up!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - Alternates for A Little Smile

June 27, 2019

Hello and welcome the the Paper Pumpkin Thing monthly blog hop where we share alternate products for the kits contents. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called ‘A Little Smile’ and is nautical in theme.

This kit features the supplies to make 16 mini note cards, the perfect size for a gift card. I made few of these as directed. The kit also includes envelopes for the notecards and a fun plastic pouch for containing the cards.

As you may know, I like full size cards so I used the original components and reworked them a bit for a full size card.

As for the mini note cards … You can package them all up in a cute little plastic pouch that is included in the kit. I created four cards (as designed) and packaged with the envelopes in the pouch.I added a simple gift tag. The tag is another alternate project using bits of leftovers from the kit. This will make a nice hostess gift.

Just like last month I am totally in love with the stamp set from this kit. The sand dollar, starfish and coral are so fun. I wanted to see these images in BRIGHT colors. My other alternates mix up the colors a bit and focus on the stamp images.

The colors I used are Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch and Coastal Cabana. The greeting is popped on black and creates a really striking look.

Good Morning Magnolia - What Will You Stamp

June 24, 2019

So long, farewell! I’m sad to announce that this will be the last What Will You Stamp challenge for a while, maybe ever. The design team has decided to take a hiatus after 225 fantastic challenges showcasing 225 awesome stamp sets. It’s been such a great ride and I have been honored to have been a part of this team and we ALL have been overjoyed with all of the participation over the years.

For out last edition we are stamping using the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set. This is a beautiful set with a large Magnolia flower perfect for coloring. I decided to create a one layer card using this set. Not much fuss, just stamping, heat embossing and coloring. I stamped the images in Versamark and heat set with white emboss powder. The images have been colored using watercolor pencils. I don’t make many cards that are just a single layer of cardstock. It will be nice to pay regular postage for once! LOL.

Ready to see what the team has created? Check out the WWYS blog here and play along! Big hugs.

Balloons - Global Design Challenge - GDP195

June 24, 2019

Balloons … thought balloons, hot air balloons and party balloons. Balloon is the theme for this week’s Global Design Project. I took the hot air balloon approach and used the stamp set ‘Above the Clouds’ to create this card.

I had a lot of fun stamping banners for the background. STAMP, stamp, stamp! This card really got a work out.

Capture the Good Camera Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

TGIF Challenges: Ruffles - TGIFC217 - Capture The Good

June 20, 2019

Ribbon ruffles, what a fun theme challenge. We are playing around with ruffles this week over at TGIF Challenges.

My card today uses an awesome new stamp set called Capture the Good. The set includes a LARGE camera image. I collect cameras and camera stamps so this stamp set was top of my list to order from the new catalog. I will use it a TON!

Ruffles: I decided to make my own paper ruffle ribbons using the 2019-2021 InColor 6x6 Papers and Vellum. This is easy to do. Randomly fold the paper to create a ruffle. Stitch or glue to keep the ruffles in place. I roughed these ruffles up a little as I didn't want them to look too perfect.

The camera is colored using a new color additions to the Stampin’ Blends product line. See a full supply list below. There are many new colors that have been added to the Stampin’ Blends.

Did you notice? This card has a fun interactive element. The ‘Smile’ greeting is on a pull tab that slides easily in and out from behind the camera. Super fun!

Alright, ready to see more ruffle inspiration? Details on how to participate are on the TGIF challenges blog. Check it out! Thanks so much for stopping by, have a GREAT weekend!
