Are you making handmade Valentine’s this year? If so, you should give the HEY LOVE stamp set ($19.00 USD) a serious look. I’m totally falling in love with this stamp set. First the images are darling. Second they are super fun to color. And third, they are punny. Triple threat.
These two card use similar supplies and have both been paired with the Be Mine framelits. A full list of supplies can be found below.
Butterfly Bendi - Bendi Card featuring Beauty Abounds and Butterfly Beauty Thinlets. Charlet Mallett, Stampin' Up!
Hello friends and Happy New Year! For me, 2019 is about trying new things. Particularly in my crafting. Have you ever made a Bendi card? This is MY FIRST attempt at a Bendi card. Honestly, I didn't know what a Bendi card was. I had to do a little research, gotta love google images. A Bendi card is basically a card with two flaps that interlock to create a rounded bend fold. The card can be closed flat and mailed in a standard envelope. Once I understood what I was making I set to create a template. I like to make the majority of my cards portrait orientation. Using one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper you can create two bendi 4.25 x 5.5 cards. Download this template if you like my design.
This card features all sorts of fun new products available NOW in the new Occasions Catalog and as part of Saleabration promotion. The beautiful papers on this card come from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series papers. The small colorful butterfly has been punched from the papers using the Butterfly Duet punch. And the intricate butterflies that have been die cut in white are created using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlet dies. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.
Many of my crafty friends on this hop will have videos showing how they created their bendi cards. These are excellent resources if are are in the market to create a bendi card for yourself..

First Frost new year cards - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!
Hello friends! Welcome to the December Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design hop. This month the team is featuring the Frosted Floral product suite. This suite of product includes so many goodies. I choose to feature the First Frost bundle (stamp set and dies), Frosted Floral Designer Series papers, Iridescent Boxwood Wreaths and the Tranquil Tide Velvet ribbon. Velvet ribbon = YUM. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.
First Frost new year card, Wishing You the Best - Charlet Mallett, Stampin’ Up!
Let’s chat about a couple of details on this ‘Wishing You the Best’ card. Did you notice the flower stamp images are a little pink and purple? First, I stamped the images in Rich Razzleberry and then used a Blushing Bride Stampin’ Write marker to selectively color in a few of the lighter areas. So easy. I like the look of this and I think it adds depth to those flowers.
The dies that coordinate with the First Frost stamp set are super versatile. I use label shapes on my projects all the time and was excited to see layering labels in this bundle. I opted to use those two dies a little differently than intended. I cut the large label first from Whisper White card stock. Next I cut out the smaller label from the inside of the larger label, creating a delicate little window. Then I lined the window with vellum. I love how you can see bits of the stamped flowers behind and in front of the window label.

The window on this card opens to the inside (it’s not lined with anything). First die cut the window, then emboss. ICYMI - I use the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured Embossing folder all the time. It appears on every 4th or 5th project I create. When it’s good, it GOOD! So, no surprise, I’ve used it here again. I love the look of wood texture and find it makes a nice subtle card base.
The window opening is embellished and decorated with products from this suite. The ‘Congratulations’ sentiment and a piece of the boxwood wreath float in the label window opening.
Fun stuff.
Ah, how can 2018 be coming to a close already? What a year! I’m wishing you all the best. Thank you for all the LOVE, encouragement, and friendship. I’ve sure grown on this Artisan journey. It’s been a true joy and blessing to create for Stampin’ Up! … I’m not done. While the title is handed over to a new crew, I’ll still be stamping, crafting and creating just as much as ever. I’m permanently infected with the paper crafting bug.
DRUMROLL and CONGRATULATIONS … Are you as excited as I am to welcome the 2019 Artisan design team to the Artisan family!? These gals are an amazing crew of crafters, each with their own unique style and dedication to the craft. I’m certain you will be inspired by them this next year. Give a big HELLO and congratulations to the new crew (links below). Also, a round of high fives to the three returning 2018 members (Emma, Lauren, & Sylwia).

Hello again! Welcome back to another Scrapbook Sunday blog hop. This event features a team of Stampin' Up! scrapbookers that blog hop the 3rd Sunday of every month and share exclusively scrapbooking ideas using Stampin' Up! products.
It's all about SELFIES this month. Fortunately it’s easy to take a self portrait these days. I’m still adding to the book I am making for my Grandmother. Over the last few years (as selfies have become more and more prevalent) I’ve made sure to take a selfie with my Grandma. I treasure these photos as she has changed so much of the last couple of years.
Now for the apology … I had very little time to create a page this month after returning from Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage convention. Stumped at what products to use I pulled out the ‘Notes of Kindness’ kit and was saved. The page came together easily and quickly. Kits to the rescue!
Are you ready to see more selfie themed pages? The full link up can be found below. Click on the link after my name or the next button. Thanks so much for visiting. Charlet
