Trick or Treat - Halloween Scraps Card

October 31, 2017

Happy Halloween! I love this rad holiday and all the traditions it brings. I'm a little sad to share my last Halloween project this season but super excited to move onto Thanksgiving, more fall and Christmas projects. Paper crafting is so much fun.

This last card uses a bunch of scraps and outtakes from the various projects I worked on this month. As you may have noticed I used a lot of Pumpkin Pie water color wash backgrounds on my cards. I really liked with soft look against the contrast of orange and black images. Another favorite product this season is the black and white striped ribbon. LOVE IT!

I hope you have a happy and safe Halloween. TRICK or TREAT!

Spooky Cat Halloween card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

Spooky Cat - Stamp Review Crew

October 15, 2017

Hello! I am certainly getting a lot of use from the Spooky Cat Stamp set. Did you see all the fun samples shared last week? Well, I'm back with the Stamp Review Crew sharing some creations using this set and a little bit of Basic Black and Fresh Fig.

My first card uses the pieces & patterns washi tape to create the background. I stamped the rats and the hashmarks along the top and bottom in black adding to the pattern effect. I like the look of this background and can see this technique being effective on many card styles.

Spooky Cat Witches Hat Halloween card - Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!

The black and fig really pop when placed on a white paper base. I'm also loving pairing just a glimpse of the Merry Music designer series paper with the back and white striped ribbon. Evokes a little mood / look of music piano keys - perhaps there is spooky harpsichord music playing somewhere? I folded the paper so NO obvious Christmas words are peeking out. There is the word HITCH showing that on first glance might read as something else given this is a WITCH card. LOL.

I can't wait for you to see what the rest of the fabulous team stamped for the Spooky Cat edition of the Stamp Review. Thanks for stopping by and always THANK YOU for the kind words and comments.

Spooky Cat set sampler - What Will You Stamp

October 9, 2017

Sometimes you come across a stamp set and a line of products that inspired you to create and create. The Spooky Cat stamp set did that for me this week. It also happens to be the What Will You Stamp challenge set for this week.

I planned to create one card for the WWYS challenge and I started with just a card and then kept going and going. Holy moly, I've got a few samples to share. All supplies for these projects are listed below and many are a part of the Spooky Night Suite.

Check out more inspiration using this set on the WWYS blog and play along with us if you have this set. Hope you enjoy and Happy Stamping!

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. ❤️❤️❤️

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!
