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.

Be sure to check out what the Crafty Carrot Collective has in store for you using these products. Next up on the Geared Up Garage Blog hop is the talented Cindy Schuster at Nutmeg Creations. Thanks for stop by!
