Hung with Care Notecards - Charlet Mallett

Hello friends! Christmas is almost here. Do you have all your gifting complete? I’m finishing up a few little neighbor gifts and stocking stuffers. The timing of this TGIF Challenge couldn't be better.

I have three tips for you to finish up your gift packaging.

Simple stamping. Stampin’ Up! has challenged us demonstrators to create projects that show how easy it is to create a beautiful project using stamps, ink and paper. This is their theme for 2019. Follow the hashtag #simplestamping for more ideas. I created a few simple notecard and envelope sets using the Hung with Care stamp set. The images in this set are perfect to stamp in one color or mix is up using Stampin’ Write Markers.
CASE! Copy and share everything. This time of year why try to reinvent the wheel. If you come across something cute in the stamping world, case away. Be sure to credit the original artist and you are good to go. These fun tags will go on popcorn buckets for neighbors. The original design was created by fellow TGIF designer Bree Renwick (@craftsomnia). Thanks for the great idea Bree!
KISS - Keep it simple stupid. Stupid is such a rude word but the KISS sentiment holds true. Use what you have on hand, pull your scraps together, don’t overthink and really just keep it simple. These fun bottle brush tree tags were so easy and SIMPLE!

Hello friends! I have some exciting news. I’ve been asked to join the Fancy Friday blog hop. The Fancy Friday team is a group of talented Stampin' Up! Artisan's, both past and present. We hop once a month, on the last Friday of the month. I love my Artisan friends so much and I am thrilled to be able to continue to craft with them every so often.

This month we are sharing our Christmas cards. My personal Christmas card this year is a hybrid card (part photo printed and part handmade). I did use some Stampin’ Up! products and my design skills to create the card, however my printed versions have not arrived in time to share. My original prototypes look pretty lame. So … I’ll share those another time. Stay tuned!

Instead, for this hop and to send to a few neighbors, I’ve made a fairly simple card using the Snow is Glistening stamp set and the Snowflake dies and embellishments. This is an easy card to create multiples of and I was able to create 10 quickly. FYI - Today is the last day to order the Snow is Glistening and other snowflake products.

Bonus! I created a second card for a few crafty girlfriends using one of my favorite Host sets called ‘Hung With Care’. The stocking images are adorable stamped in a single color. Perfect for simple stamping and stepped up a notch. Buyer beware. Never use the hashtag ‘hung with care’. Oops.

Are you ready to go? I’m so exited to see what these FANCY gals have in store. Next up is Cindy!
