Hello, we are excited to announce over the next few months we are doing a special series of posts here on the Stamp Review Crew Blog featuring some of the Crew Members. We asked our crew member a series of questions to help you get to know them better. The Stamp Review Crew Hops wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for all these talented stampers coming together to share their love of stamping.

We are giving a big shout out to Charlet Mallett, a very talented lady! Charlet has been part of the crew team since November 2016. You can visit her blog Painted Orange to see all her fabulous creations!

We asked Charlet to tell us a little bit about her family and where she lives:

Hello, My name is Charlet Mallett, an Utah native currently living in Freeport, Maine. I’ve been married for 25 years and my husband is my biggest champion. We have three amazing boys (10, 18, 21). My family keeps me happy and very busy.

We asked Charlet to tell us a little about herself:

My day career has provided awesome opportunities to be creative. I’ve worked in the design and paper crafting industry for over 20 years and have a professional background in photography, graphic design, product management and product development. Some of my other passions include antiquing, home decorating, gardening, and baking. I am a huge fan of live music, limited edition concert posters and pie. My love of Stampin’ Up! began in 2002 and started me on this fabulous paper crafting journey. I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for over 10 years (two 5 year stints). I am addicted to card making and love the art of paper crafting. I create often (crafting therapy) and enjoy sharing those creations to inspire others.

We asked what led you to stamping?

I was hired to work at Stampin’ Up! corporate office in 2002 and became passionate about stamping and paper crafting. After a few years of being fully immersed in stamping it was hard not to get sucked in.

Why did you decide to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator?

I initially signed up during Sale-a-bration to build up my personal crafting stash. I hosted a party and signed up that night. I dropped after 5 years when I had our last child. I signed up again a year or so later.

What do you love most about being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator?

Friendships … I love the people I have met along the way. I am so grateful for the many lifelong friendships made. Plus I love stamping, cardmaking and everything paper craft related.

How would you describe your crafting style?

Clean, simple and eclectic. I like to try new techniques and layouts so my style is constantly evolving.

Do you have something you like to create specifically?

I love making cards more than any other type of project. Cards are small and quick to create. This type of project is easy to complete in one sitting makes me feel very productive when I finish.

What is your favorite Stampin’ Up! Tool and Why?

Hmm. This is hard. My most used tools are my paper trimmer and Take-Your-Pick / paper piercer. Not very glamorous. I use my Take-Your-Pick / paper piercer to pick up small items, use to add small embellishments, remove the backer paper from Stampin’ Dimensionals, etc. It’s like a having an extra small, very pointy, precise finger.

What is your favorite current Stampin’ Up! Product and why?

My current favorite product is the new Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine. It’s sleek, cuts like a dream and fits on my desk. My current favorite stamp set is Floating and Fluttering because it is so versatile and easy to use. Cards come together quickly with this set.

Charlet shared a fun project with us today. Head on over to her blog: Painted Orange to see all the details and supply list about this project! Charlet used the Snailed It Bundle to create her project.

We are so happy to have Charlet as part of our crew and we look forward to seeing all of the wonderful creations she comes up with in the future. If you would like to see more of Charlet’s work be sure to visit her blog Painted Orange. Be sure to keep an eye on the Stamp Review Crew for upcoming hops and more crew interviews.

Thank you for joining us!
