Stamp Review Crew - Crew Spotlight - Hello from Charlet

Hello friends! The Stamp Review Crew thought it might be fun to introduce the team members so you call can learn a little more about each of us. Today I am being featured on the Stamp Review Crew Blog. Check it out.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops! We have a new hop coming up this weekend. Stop back by to see all sorts of fun projects using the Tasteful Touches Stamp set.

Snailed It - Hello Card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Given the HELLO theme of this post I thought it would be fun to introduce myself by way of a HELLO card. Hallo, hello, bonjour! This cute card features the Snail Mail Product Collection. A full list of card supplies card be found below.

This card came together easily once I determined the basic layout. I’ve incorporated the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch and created a simple background grid pattern using the punched imaged. These create natural frames for all the thought bubbles which were cut from the Snail Mail Designer Series papers.

Mr. Snail has been colored using Stampin’ Blends. I had some googlie eyes in my crafting stash and they fit perfectly over the snail eyes.

Thanks for story by. Again, you can check out my brief interview on the Stamp Review crew Blog. Have a great day!

Global Design Project - GDP282

This week I am making Easter cards and I didn’t buy any new Easter sets this year. Oops. I got a little funky with my card for this sketch challenge. I took the basic sketch and then really went to town with stamps and punches. This card uses three stamp sets and three punch shapes. I altered the image from the ‘You Are Amazing"‘ set to read Hip Hop Hooray. I created Bunny ears using the Perennial punch and pulled in a straight forward Easter greeting using the Itty Bitty Greetings set. Turned out fun and different. That’s what I like about sketch challenges, they set the template and then you can build and create from there. A full list of supplies can be found below.

Monday Montage 185 - You are Amazing

Hello friends. Happy March. I am making birthday cards this week. It’s still blistering cold here in Maine and so crafting indoors in my free time makes sense. Lol.

My card today uses ‘You Are Amazing’ Stamp set. I hand drew thought bubbles around the various sentiments so I could use them all together on a card. Kind of a fun and different way to use a stamp set.

Fun bonus! The card layout is inspired by the sketch challenge from Global Design Project #GDP282

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. Thanks for stopping by.

Stamping Society - Favorite Stampin' Up! Product Suite featuring Well Suited Collection

Hello, hello and happy March! Something looks new here. … can you guess? I’m excited to join up with the Stamping Society. See my face in the official graphic? That makes it totally official. :)

What is Stamping Society? We are group of international stampers who showcase an idea monthly through a blog hop and then offer more exclusive ideas through a tutorial. The tutorial showcases 6 exclusive ideas along with instructions and a video. Details on how to get the tutorial at the end of this post.

This month we are featuring our favorite Mini Catalog Product Suite. Honestly you can’t go wrong with any of the current mini catalog collections, they are all favorites. Today I am featuring the Well Suited Collection. My Stamping Society friends are all featuring different suites so be sure to check out each of their projects.

HANDSOMELY SUITED - YOU’RE THE BEST CARD:

First, this stamp and die bundle is super cool and includes verything you need to create a well dressed suit & tie project. The dies are self explanatory and playing with them reminds me of playing with and dressing paper dolls as a child.

Let’s chat about this card. For this card I decided to focus on the stamp set. My card used the two tie images and the ‘You’re The Best’ Greeting. I did use the ‘TIE’ Die.

Recreate this card with me. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.

1. Cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”. Adhere to a Basic white card card base.

2. Cut a piece of the Grid Pattern from the Well Suited Designer Series Papers to 4” x 5.25”. Adhere to Night of Navy cardstock.

3. Did you notice to fun drop shadow that is being cast beneath the three tie images? This was created using a stencil, sponge daubers and Smokey Slate ink. Create a ‘TIE’ stencil using the TIE shaped die. Start in the center of the grid paper and sponge daub the center tie shadow. Add tie shadows on either side of the center tie for a total of three shadows.

4. Cut a 12” piece of Basic Gray Baker’s twine. Wrap around grid paper twice and tape off on the back side of the paper. See photo for placement.

5. Stamp three tie images in Night of Navy classic ink on Basic White cardstock. Lightly color using a Pool Party Stampin’ Blend. Note: classic ink may bleed if colored heavily.

6. Hand cut* tie images close to outline of the tie.

7. Mount all three ties to grid paper above shadows using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Offset slightly from the shadows. *Note - you can use the die to cut the ties out however you may need to offset more in order to get the shadow to show.

8. Cut a piece of the red pattern from the Well Suited Designer Series Papers to .5” x 2.75”.

9. Stamp ‘You’re the Best’ in Versamark and heat set with White Emboss Powder onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock. Trim to .25” x 2.75”.

10. Mount greeting to center of the red pattern paper.
