Come Artisan With Us Instagram Hop | 2025 Artisan Design Team


We love being your 2025 Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team! Hop along with us today to see our projects that were inspired by something we love about being an Artisan! And if you are a Stampin’ Up demo, you can apply now through June 30th to be on the 2026 team!

Here I've made a birthday folder/folio using products from the @stampinupofficial Floral Impressions Suite, which was one of the suites that was in one of my Artisan Design Team product boxes.  I wanted to have the birthday list of the 2025 Artisan Design Team decorated and made pretty in some sort of folder, and then somewhere to also have some cards ready to write and send for the next lot of birthdays. And that is what I've done here today!  It's fun to celebrate each Artisan Design Team Member throughout the year!⁠


Being an Artisan is so much more than crafting (and free products 😉). It's support, inspiration, connection, creativity, a sense of community, celebrating each other, fun and most of all, lifelong friends! And once an Artisan, always an Artisan! If you're a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and have been thinking about applying, go for it! What do you have to lose? It's an amazing opportunity, an opportunity of a lifetime! 

Time to keep hopping! Next up on our hop is Carina @inastempelt . You are sure to love her project, so make sure to show them some love!⁠

Note & Totes Bundle | June | 2025 Artisan Design Team Monthly Project

Hello stamping friends. This month, Group 2 from the Stampin' Up!® 2025 Artisan Design Team have been creating with the Notes & Totes Bundle from the 2025 - 2026 Annual Catalogue.

The Notes & Totes Bundle includes a stamp set with sentiments in magazine headline style and sentiments in a relaxed script, designed to help you share your best thoughts. With sand, sun, flower, and water droplet images plus coordinating dies to quickly cut out the stamped images, you can decorate your cards and scrapbook pages with beachy accents.


I've used the Notes and Totes bundle to capture that summer vibe with a bright and summery tote bag, and then a fun beach scene. 

My first card uses Secret Sea as the card base, and then I created a 'cloud' background layer. This was achieved by die-cutting circles and adhering them together to form a cloud-like shape. I then used these circles to blend some ink across the Basic White cardstock. Super easy to do and super effective. I've then used Two-Tone cardstock, torn, to create waves and then used the stamps and dies from the Notes and Totes bundle to create a fun little beach scene.

My second card is a fun little tote bag using the Tote bag die and a few little summer-time accessories. I've used the Linen Thread to make my own bag tassel and the fringing for my 'beach towel'. How cute are those heart sunglasses? I ❤️❤️them! 
 
This bundle is super cute and super fun, and perfect for those summer vibe creations. I hope that I've given you some inspiration with this amazing bundle. Make sure you check out my post for this suite on Instagram HERE, as group two have an Instagram Hop and you will be able to see the rest of the teams' creations.
 
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Happy Stamping!

Just Add Ink #755 | Colour Challenge

 Hey there stamping friends! I'm here today with the Just Add Ink Design Team for the new Just Add Ink Challenge - Just Add Ink #755 | Colour Challenge. This week our colours have been suggested by Just Add Ink Design Team Member, Kerry. 

We've got some blues, yellows, and a touch of grey with Misty Moonlight, Balmy Blue, Smoky Slate, and Lemon Lolly. A beautiful, fresh and fun colour combination. I've used this colour combination to create a pretty floral (yes, florals again!) card. 

I've used the Impressions Abloom Dies, which are part of the Floral Impressions Suite, for my card. I've used these dies for a few projects now, and I love how different each card looks while using the same dies. Check out these other projects HERE, HERE, and HERE.  I've layered the dies on this card today to give each of the flowers a fuller look rather than the flat look without the layering. 

I've used Misty Moonlight for the base layers of the card, along with an embossed Misty Moonlight layer using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. The next layer is one of the labels from the Foiled Frames & Labels Ephemera Pack. These are also part of the Floral Impressions Suite. I was originally just going to add it to the card as is, but I thought embossing it would step up the card, and I love how the label looks embossed. 

I've finished off the card with the spray of flowers across the card, the heat embossed 'lovely', some stamped sentiments, a little touch of the Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon, and some Gems from the Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems.

I love how this card turned out and the 'lovely' use of this week's challenge colours. 

Will you be entering our challenge this week? We would love to see your take on our sketch. Click the image below to be taken straight to this week's challenge.
