Dragonfly Garden - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Dragonfly Garden - Stamp Review Crew

April 18, 2021

Hello friends! Welcome to the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Review Crew Hop. I’ve enjoyed crafting with this set. It’s not my typical style however I’ve been really happy with all of the projects I’ve created using this set. See additional inspiration at the end of this post.

CARD 1 (Thank You for your Kindness)

For this card I stamped the larger wildflower image in Crumb Cake along the bottom of the card staggering the image to make it appear less uniform. The flowers have been softly colored using Stampin’ Blends. I love this soft look.

The black dragonfly is from the Dandy laser cuts. I colored the die cut image black and love the contrast against the soft wildflower background.

I added a few black iridescent pearls to give the card a little more dimension.

The greeting has been stamped in Versamark and that set using white emboss powder.

Card 2 (You Are An Inspiration)

The flowers on this card are stamped and colored in same way as mentioned above. Same with the greetings.

For the card base I create a window frame using Mossy Meadow card stock and a square die. I added a hint of the yellow and white stripe from the Dandy Garden Designer Series paper. I like how this little bit of graphic paper changes the look of this card.

A full list of supplies for both cards can be found below.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

Hello friends! The Montage Montage crew is back today to share what we are working on. I’m finally wrapping up all of my Christmas projects and moving onto crafting with new products from the 2021 Stampin’ Up! catalog.

I’ve been playing around more with a Stamp set called Dragonfly Garden. This card uses Misty Moonlight and BumbleBee and I love how these color play off of each other. This set, papers and fun lady bug embellishments will be available in a product bundle for purchase in early January.

Hello! I rarely show my face on here but I thought I’d pop in between cards and say hello from Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Raleigh!!! My crafty HEART is so full catching up with old and new friends. The people are always the best part of any experience, especially this one. I feel so lucky to catch up with my upline, old co-workers, the Artisan gals from various years, Monday Montage, TGIF challenges crew and even a sprinkle of Global Design Project peeps. So many lovely people who make my life better! It’s rare to find a place where you know so many people from decades of your life. Yay for stamping! I won’t spam you with all the many photos but here are a few. Yes, I’m usually a dork. ❤️❤️❤️

Sunshine and rainbows... such a fun theme. I created this card for @global_design_project theme challenge #gdp487 - Lemon Lolly is such a fun yellow and I love it paired with Summer Splash.

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!
