Bird Banter - What Will You Stamp

March 26, 2018

Oh sunset! I created this bright big sun with a little yellow Brusho Color Crystals. Simple paint a water circle and sprinkle a little Brusho (spread with your aqua painter if you need the color to flow more). The large sun created a wonderful background for the Toucan from the Bird Banter stamp set.

If you own the Bird Banter stamp set play along with us on the What Will You Stamp challenge blog!

Need more inspiration? I've used this stamp set quite a bit - it's a good one! Check out a few of the previous cards I've created with this set at the end of this post.

Bird Banter Card in a Box - TGIF Challenges

January 26, 2018

Hello and happy Friday! This weeks TGIF Challenge is card in a box. Can you believe in all my years of crafting that I never made a card in a box? It took an awesome challenge for me to take on this project and it was super fun and not hard at all, just a little time consuming. You ready to give it a try? My friend and fellow design team member Carolynn Sander created a fabulous tutorial for you to follow. You can find it on her blog or watch it on her You Tube channel here.

Box cards fold flat to fit into an envelope and then pop open to be an interactive 3D card. I made this card for my dad's birthday and he was impressed. The guts of my card in a box feature the Bird Banter stamp set and the Happy Birthday Thinlet. Additional supplies are listed out below. Be sure to check out the TGIF Challenge blog for more inspiration. I can't wait to see what you make!

Artisan Design Tip - Image Swap using Silicon Craft Sheet

January 16, 2018

Don't you just love it when you find a great new use for an everyday tool? I was working with the Bird Banter stamp set and really wanted to have two toucans facing each other. I've seen many mirror technique tutorials but didn't have the tools required to easily create a mirror image. I started to look around my craft room and thought, I wonder if the Silicon craft sheet would work to transfer an image? It did!

Check out my quick 30 second video at the end of this post to see this mirror technique in action.

Charlet Mallett, Jan 18 Instagram tip 2.jpg

Create a mirror image of any stamp image using the Silicon Craft sheet! Simply stamp your image directly onto the mat and then press your cardstock firmly to the sheet to transfer the image onto the card stock. Voila, a mirror image! For best results be careful to stamp clearly and do not move or wiggle the paper when transferring the image.

It took me a few tries to get an image I liked. I have such shaky hands sometimes. This technique will work like a dream with the new Stamparatus stamp alignment tool. Until then I'll have to keep my shaky hands in check.

Bird Banter Birthday card- Charlet Mallett - Stampin' Up! Occasions 2018

Bird Banter - On Stage Display Stamper blog hop DAY 4

November 23, 2017

Hello again! Happy Turkey day if you are feasting in the USA. Today I have two more cards to share using Bird Banter. FYI- there are NO turkeys in this stamp set. LOL.

I just love the little Toucan and sentiment that pairs with him. He is the star on both of these cards.

"A Toucan of My Appreciation"

My fav… pulling out an OLD stamp set from the stash to create a custom background. I played with type to match the background to the primary image using simple watercolor and stamps. Paint and stamp in same color. Easy. Color is Blackberry Bliss. Stamp sets are Stampin’ Up! oldies but goodies: Rough Type & PS I Love You. #stampinup #cardmaker #cardmaking #cardmakersofinstagram #useyourstash #cardmakingideas #cardmakingreels #papercrafting #handmadecard #cardmakingchallenge

All time favorite stamp set? How about favorite of the month? Year? I have so many "favs" and they rotate. Today we are sharing projects using our favorite stamp sets from our stash. There are certain stamp themes that I am certain to buy and keep. Any stamp set with a typewriter... or camera image, purchased! I have loads. On this card I used two typewriter themed stamp sets. 'Rough Type', which is and old alphabet stamp set. Remember those? It seems like we don't have many aphabet stamp set options anymore. Good thing I kept so many around ... The typewriter image is from a stamp set called 'P.S. You're the Best'. Check out what my friends created using their favorite STASH stamps sets!
