Bonanza Buddies - Shaker Birthday Card, Charlet Mallett - Stampin’ Up!

Creating Kindness Blog Hop - Animals - Bonanza Buddies

May 7, 2020

Hello kind friends. Happy May. These days feel short the month super long. Wow. How has your month been?

Do you own any animal stamps? The Creating Kindness team is hopping again sharing ideas with our animal sets.

I decided to create a birthday shaker card with the cute Koala animal from Bonanza Buddies. This set is adorable and I have had a lot of fun creating with it. Bonanza Buddies will be retiring at the end of this month so grab it before it’s gone ($17.00 USD)

Every month we invite someone to stamp with us. Our guest this month is Jess Collard and I can’t wait to see what she has created along with all of my other friends. Jess is next up on this hop. The full link up can be found below. Thanks for stopping by.

My Wonderful Family Paper Pumpkin Alternative - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop - My Wonderful Family Alternative

April 30, 2020

Hello and welcome to the Paper Pumpkin Thing monthly blog hop. This hop is all creating and sharing alternate products for the current Paper Pumpkin kit. This month’s Paper Pumpkin kit is called ‘Wonderful Family’.

I’ve made two alternate cards using the supplies from the kit (Father’s Day card and a birthday card). I have added additional ink, cardstock, and the ‘Well Written’ dies to create these new card ideas.

Card 1 - Fun tip: The Father’s Day card uses the negative shape of the leaves to create a stencil. I sponged ink to create a subtle shadow for the die cut leaves.

Card 2 - Fun Tip: Stamp the tree leaves twice (once on top and then flip and stamp for the bottom) to create a full oval blossom. This Petal Pink Blossom reminds me a little bit of a Hydrangea, a nice flower to have a few butterflies around.

Thanks so much for visiting and thanks in advance for your lovely comments! Ready to see more alternate ideas for this Paper Pumpkin kit? The full link up can be found below - Click on the link after my name (Charlet Mallett).

A Wish for Everything and Timeless Tropical : Purple Mother’s Day Card, Charlet Mallett - Stampin’ Up!

Global Design Project - GDP238 - Sketch Challenge: A Wish for Everything

April 27, 2020

Painted in Purple! I took this sketch from this weeks Global Design Project challenge and painted a purple gradient striped background using Highland Heather. Each stripe a little lighter than the last. It’s not perfect but I like the effect.

The sentiment stamp set and dies are from the A Wish for Everything bundle. The flower and leaf stamp are from the Timeless Tropical stamp set.

Mother’s Day is only 2 weeks away (in the U.S.), I’m getting ready to pop a few cards in the mail.

Ready for more inspiration and want to play along? Check out the Global Design Project blog for more projects and details on how to play along with us. If you make a project be sure to tag your project #gdp238 so we can see your work!

Ornate Style Birthday Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Monday Montage 163 - Ornate Style Birthday Card

April 26, 2020

Hello friends! The Montage Montage crew is back today to share what we are working on.

I’m making birthday cards this week. This card uses the Well Written dies and the Ornate Style stamp set.

I am trying to get better at mailing cards ahead of birthdays. For this I need a plan (AND CARDS). I’m thinking a monthly sit down to write and address cards might be the ticket. Do you have a system? I’d love to hear what works for you.

The Monday Montage crew is a talented bunch. A quick refresher: the Montage gals host a blog hop every other Monday showing you fun and exciting Stampin’ Up! products. Ready for more Stampin’ Up! inspiration? Be sure to loop through the entire hop and see all of the amazing artwork created just to inspire! Next up is Cheryl.
