Free as A Bird Thank You card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!

Global Design Project - CASE Challenge - GDP22- Free as a Bird

December 16, 2019

Hello friends. Welcome to another Global Design Project Challenge. Every Monday we have a new challenge for you to participate in. This week we are inspired to make a card based from the design of Shawn De Oliveira. Case the designer challenge = #gdp220

I absolutely love the embossed strip of gold on the bottom of Shawn’s card. It’s such a cool touch. I created a mini strip of copper on my card and built the design around that. I also used the Free as a Bird stamp set to make my card.

This card also features a little sneak peek of a new 3D embossing folder called the Parisian Flourish, available January 3.

Ready for more inspiration? Check out the Global Design Project blog for projects and details on how to play along with us. If you make a project be sure to tag your project #gdp219 so we can see your work!

I would LOVE to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. If you live in the United States you can order your paper crafting supplies from my online store. So easy. THANK YOU!

Monday Montage 150 - Free as a Bird Birthday card

October 20, 2019

The Montage Montage crew is back today to share what we are working on.

Short & sweet post today. I’m back to making birthday cards and preparing swaps for OnStage For those who might be new here, OnStage is Stampin’ Up! convention and swaps are when we get together and swap card ideas. I have yet to come up with a good swap card but I did make this fun birthday card.

I have a bird loving friend who was having a birthday so I was in need of a special card for her. I love how the birds colored in Pool Party look against the Pretty Peacock plaid. These birds are colored using Stampin’ Blends, my favorite markers! Sweet and simple card for a sweet and simple post. Thanks for stopping by.

The Monday Montage crew is a talented bunch. A quick refresher, the Montage gals host a blog hop every other Monday showing you fun and exciting Stampin’ Up! products. Ready for more Stampin’ Up! inspiration? Be sure to loop through the entire hop and see all of the amazing artwork created just to inspire! Next up is Cheryl.

Free as A Bird - Stamp Review Crew

June 30, 2019

Welcome to the Free as Bird edition of Stamp Review Crew. This stamp set sure is a beauty and has quickly become a fast favorite from the 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Catalog. Every project I’ve seen with this set looks so good - a true sign of a great set.

My card today uses only the bird and the thank you greeting from this stamp set. I colored the bird using Stampin’ Blends. I pulled in a tiny piece of the coordinating Bird Ballad designer series papers and a key embellishment from the coordinating Bird Ballad embellishments. The background is from the Script 3d embossing folder. This is also a new favorite folder! Look how crisp the script text appears. I added a little pool party vignette to that embossed background behind the bird using a blending brush and Pool Party ink. It give the words just a little pop.

Loving this set. It’s likely my most used new catalog stamp set so far. Below are two additional projects I’ve created using this stamp set.

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!

Ready for more inspiration using this stamp set? Next up is Bronwyn. Her 3D cards always wow. I can't wait to see what invention she has come up with for this set. And, be sure to go through the hop to see what ALL my talented friends have created using this set. Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you.

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!

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!
