AFFILIATE AND PRODUCT DISCLOSURE

I thought it would be helpful to share some information about my blog. I create cards because I LOVE the craft. It is my creative outlet and hobby. I would also love to support myself with this creativity. I am joining a few affiliate programs, and you may see specific paid links throughout my site. These links are NO cost to you, but I may receive a small kickback if you buy something I promote. Let’s hope!

I only promote products and companies I adore. I create projects because I LOVE to CREATE. I regularly participate in weekly cardmaking challenges that feature certain colors, themes, and ideas. I share tips and techniques on my Instagram, YouTube and tiktok accounts.

Note: I purchase all of my regular supplies, however, sometimes I am gifted a product. If the product is a gift, I will note this in my posts.

The opinions noted on my blog are my own and in no way represent any of the clients I may currently work for or have formerly worked with.

Hello!

I’m Charlet Mallett, a Utah native now living in Freeport, Maine. I’ve been working in the design and papercrafting industry for over 25 years, but my creative journey started even earlier. I have a BFA in photography and began my career in advertising and marketing. As digital cameras took over, I transitioned into graphic design and found my place in the world of paper. My background includes commercial and product photography, catalog layout, graphic design, product management, and product development.

Cardmaking is my first love, and I never tire of paper, ink, and all the little creative details. It’s hard to describe my style—clean, maybe—but I love trying new things and experimenting with different looks and techniques.

Beyond crafting, I’m passionate about thrifting, home decorating, gardening, and baking. I’m a huge fan of live music, limited-edition concert posters, and pie (especially pie!).

Painted Orange is my freelance business and creative outlet. It’s where I create, design, take pictures, and share the things I love. Painted-Orange.com is a space for all my creative and personal interests—and a place to connect and collaborate with other creatives.

You'll notice I have two blogs, one for more personal interests and one specifically about my paper crafting passion with cardmaking.

My love of Stampin’ Up! began in 2002 and started me on this fabulous paper crafting journey. I’ve been an independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for over 16 years (two multi-year stints). I am addicted to cardmaking and love the art of paper crafting. I create often (crafting therapy) and enjoy sharing those creations to inspire others.

I love this company, and the products, and have been honored to be a member of the SU Artisan Design Team in 2018, 2022 & 2023.

As an Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and do receive a small commission from products you purchase directly from me. You will see those links throughout my site. I appreciate you supporting my demonstrator business.
