Meant to Be - Repeating Heart card. Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Meant to Be - Repeating Heart card. Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Meant to Be - TGIF Challenges Color Challenge - TGIFC197

February 1, 2019
TGIFC197.jpg

I’m all about the heart stamps lately. It’s so fun to repeat them and create your own color background patterns. The striped heart image used on this card comes from the Meant to Be stamp set. I’ve inked it up using this fantastic color combo from this weeks TGIF challenge. #tgifc197 . You could create a similar background using ANY heart image. I whipped up something similar on this card I posted yesterday.

Because of the time of year I opted to create a Valentine card. This card is nice because it could work as a Valentine card or just a great card for that special friend. The hearts are perfectly aligned using the Stamparatus. The trick here is to clean your stamp well between each inking so your inks don’t get muddy.

I haven’t had much opportunity to play around with the InColor emboss powders. Embossing on dark cardstock is a great way to use these powders and get strong vibrant colors.

See more inspiration for this color challenge in the TGIF challenges blog and play along with us! Thanks for visiting.

Water & ink. I used water and classic ink to create this soft pastel card. Paper: watercolor paper. I used a variety of flower punches from my collection to create the multi-layered flowers. This card has so much dimension and is meant for hand delivery! 🤣 Use your stash! #stampinup #useyourstash #cardmaker #cardmakingreel

When I think of pastel I think watercolor. For this month our 'Use Your Stash' theme is PRETTY PASTEL. I pulled out the 'Good Greetings' stamp set and heat set the large greeting with white emboss powder. This greeting is so pretty. Then, I water painted a peachy color over the top for a soft & airy look. For the flowers I painted a few pink and peach multi-color washes and then punch out using various flower punches. The flower centers are irridescent rhinestones. Stampin' Up! products you can still purchase: Basic White cardstock, Fluid 100 watercolor Ink colors: Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Cloud Cover I can't wait to see what my friends pulled out from their stashes for this challenge. UYS is a monthly instagram hop where my friends and I get crafty and use what we have on hand to create a project around a certain theme. Use those supplies!

Cute little chicks lined up in a row … I was eyeballing it to try my hand at stamp alignment with this new Stampin’ Positioner tool. My free form is not perfect, but it doesn’t matter in the end when you mount your card crooked. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 🤣 Stamp set is called Easter Basket and it’s on the last chance list.

Hey Chick! I used the sketch from #gdp542 as a starting point for creating this simple card. The cute chick does all the work, like usual! Play along with @global_design_project and create a project from our challenge sketch.  The little chick image
