New Artisans Coming Soon Hop | 2025 Artisan Design Team

 

We, the 2025 Artisan Design Team, want to give A HUGE WELCOME to the ☆ NEW ☆ 2026 ARTISAN TEAM! So it is with great honour that we introduce you to this fabulous team by CASEing them! So hop along with us to see which NEW Artisan was CASEd by each 2025 Artisan! 

Today I am sharing a card that I CASED from Andrea Sargent @andreaksargent
- I was so thrilled to hear that Andrea was selected to be on the 2026 @stampinupofficial Artisan Design Team for a second year in a row. I had the honour of being on the 2025 team with Andrea, and I love her amazing style. She has an amazing, pretty style and loves the use of florals on her cards, which I love too, and loves to use lots of layers, which is also right up my alley!
 

I loved the use of the layers, arches and florals in Andrea's original card and then used those elements to CASE her card by using products from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar. I hope I did justice to her original card. She is truly an inspiration, and I am a big fan. 
 

Congratulations and all the best for the 2026 Artisan Design Team, Andrea! I can't wait to see and be inspired by your Artisan creations!


Even though the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar isn't available anymore, you can recreate my card by using alternative products to achieve the same/similar look. 

Time to keep hopping because you don’t want to miss a thing! Up next is the talented Yvonne Spikmans - Van Bruggen @thecreativeteacup, whose creations consistently leave me in awe! Be sure to follow along the full hop to gather all the wonderful inspiration and show your appreciation to all the designers!

Artisan Extra | 2025 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team | Elegant Pine Snowflakes Gift Holder


Hello stamping friends. Today I'm sharing my Creative Project  for the 2025 Artisan Design Team. Through out an Artisans year they have to contribute 3 - 4 Creative Projects that are uploaded to the Stampin' Up! Facebook and Instagram social pages.

These creative projects are projects that feature new, never-before-seen content and that also have the 'WOW' factor.

This time for my last Creative Project for the 2025 Artisan Design Team I've created a gift/gift card holder that uses products from the Elegant Pines Snowflakes Suite and shows a quick and easy way to use some of the stunning Designer Series Paper that Stampin' Up! has in their offerings.






 

If you are needing some last minute gift packaging this is it. Super a quick and super easy! It just depends on how much or how little you decorate and embellish your gift holder. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Online Exclusives Valentine Kisses Bundle | December | 2025 Artisan Design Team


This month's assignment for Group 2 of the 2025 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team is to create projects using the @stampinupofficial Online Exclusives Valentine Kisses Bundle.  

While you are all finishing up your Christmas cards and crafts, it's a good time to consider your Valentine's Day creations. The Valentine Kisses Bundle is the perfect bundle to create those Valentine's Day creations! 

 Add a sweet touch to your Valentine cards and scrapbook pages with the Valentine Kisses Bundle. It features a stamp set and coordinating dies you can use together to create a sweet kissing booth, complete with a bear, hearts, and flowers. This bundle makes it easy to design unique cards for Valentine’s Day and more.



For my first card, I utilised the heart die from the die set to create a CAS Valentine's Day card. I layered some of the smaller circles from the Stylish Shapes dies and then layered the heart from the Valentine Kisses dies for a fun layered look. The circles and hearts have a fun stitched edging, and when combined, they give a fun, coordinated look.


My second card uses the super cute bear image, coloured with the Stampin' Up! Watercolour pencils for a bright and bold card. Super fun and super cute!

 Would you like to see the projects from the rest of the group? Be sure to hop through the rest of the team's projects on Instagram here, with lots of gorgeous inspiration using the Valentine Kisses Bundle.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Just Add Ink #775 | Just Add A Celebration

 Hello stamping friends. Happy Friday! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I'm here today with the Just Add Ink Design Team for the new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #775 | Just Add a Celebration Challenge. Our new challenge has been suggested by team member Lou.  

I could have gone with a birthday card for our Just Add a Celebration challenge but seeing as we are still in the Christmas season I've chosen to create a Christmas card for you to celebrate Christmas and I still need a few more Christmas cards so this challenge was perfect to create a few more.


 My card today uses the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Suite. This suite is beautiful! Even though we don't get snow this time of year in Australia, I still loved the suite, especially the colours in the DSP in this suite. I love the dark greens in the DSP. The rich green, blue, and gold colour palette adds a touch of sophistication to your Christmas cards, and when combined with the old favourite Country Woods, you can create some stunning Christmas cards with these two products together.

I've kept the card quite CAS so that I could make multiples quite quickly. I've used some of the stunning Shaded Spruce & Gold Edged Ribbon and Linen Thread to embellish the card. Then I've layered some Vellum, Basic White cardstock, die cuts, embossed and stamped images, and a die-cut ephemera greeting, and you have a quick and easy Christmas card. 

I hope that you have liked my take on this week's challenge. Ready to join in this week's challenge? Click on the banner below, and you'll be taken straight to the Just Add Ink Blog, where you will find the design team's inspiration creations for you, as well as all the details on how you can participate. I'd love to see you join in!
