We Craft in Pink Instagram Hop | 2025 Artisan Design Team

💕🩷💕 WE CRAFT IN PINK IN OCTOBER with the 2025 Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team! Come hop along with us while we honour all the women who have battled & continue to battle the terrible breast cancer disease. 

Today, I designed a card featuring some upcoming products from @stampinupofficial, available for purchase on November 4th. My intention was to create a heartfelt message for someone dealing with breast cancer or any other serious illness, reminding them that they are in my thoughts and prayers during their difficult journey.

I utilised items from the Brushed with Beauty Suite to craft a "Just Because You've Been on My Mind" card, incorporating the beautiful Petal Pink and Flirty Flamingo hues from Stampin' Up! to honour our theme of 'crafting in pink.'

If you wish to support breast cancer charities in Australia, click on the image above and consider purchasing the Stampin' Up! Love & Courage Stamp set, as $4.25 from each sale will go towards these organisations. Or visit the Stampin' Up! website in your country to purchase your Love & Courage Stamp Set. 

Time to keep hopping because you don’t want to miss a thing! Up next is the talented Pamela @passionateaboutscrapbooking, 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! 🩷💕🩷

Online Exclusive Homemade Treats Bundle and Mini Catalogue Gingerbread Man Bundle | October | 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 Online Exclusive Homemade Treats Bundle and Mini Catalogue Gingerbread Man Bundle. How fun are these bundles??!!⁠

These two bundles work seamlessly together for fun and festive creations! Create custom tags and cards to accompany your delicious treats using the Homemade Treats Bundle or use the gingerbread card die to create sweet handmade cards shaped like gingerbread cookies—or cut at the score line for single-layer pieces to use on card fronts and tags. The possibilities are endless with these two bundles!⁠

I've created 3 cards using these two bundles, one with lots of repeat stamping and layering and then the other two to highlight the super fun Gingerbread Man dies. ⁠

These two bundles couldn't be any more gorgeous and will bring you lots of joy during your Christmas crafting! ⁠

⁠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 Online Exclusive Homemade Treats Bundle and Mini Catalogue Gingerbread Man Bundle.⁠

Just Add Ink #771 | Just Choose Two or More

 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 #771 | Just Choose Two or More.

We are making changes to how we operate at Just Add Ink, including adjustments to the types of challenges we offer. Going forward, we will be moving to fortnightly challenges. How fun, right??!! Who doesn't love a bit of a change every now and then?

This week's challenge is similar to our old Just Choose Two challenges of old but the change is that there are more offerings to choose from for our Choose Two or more.

 

The holly leaves from the @stampinupofficial Christmas Greenery Dies inspired me to create a wreath Christmas card, and then, combined with the DSP and die cuts from the Christmas Tags & More DSP, had me choosing Plants, Plaid, Pretties, and Patterned Paper for my card.⁠ 

 I love me a Basic White Christmas card with pops of colour, and the Garden Green holly leaves certainly pop off the Basic White cardstock card base. The Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder was my choice for the Plaid element and looks fantastic when embossed on the crisp Basic White.

 

I've created the wreath using the Christmas Greenery Dies using Garden Green and Real Red cardstock, and then I've used some DSP and die cut elements from the Christmas Tags & More 6"x6" Specialty Designer Series Paper for my Patterned Paper and Plant Elements. If you need some quick accents for your cards, the die cuts from the Christmas Tags & More 6"x6" Specialty Designer Series Paper are perfect for your next creation!

I've finished off the card with the stamped Merry sentiment from the Seasonal Tags stamp set, the die cut Christmas from the Words for the Season Dies, some Gold Striped Mesh Ribbon and some Gold Shaker Stars for the Pretties element. So pretty! 

I hope that I've given you some inspiration for our new Choose Two or More Challenge, and I'm so looking forward to seeing what combination of elements you choose. Go and check out the design teams take on this week's challenge at the Just Add Ink Blog. Will you be entering our challenge this week? We'd love to see your Choose Two or More creation. Click the image below to be taken straight to this week's challenge.

Global Design Project #516 | #gdp516 | CASE the Designer Challenge

Hello stamping friends! I hope you are having a fabulous day! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today, I'm playing along with the challenge over at the Global Design Project #516 | #gdp516 | CASE the Designer Challenge.  

I'm a big fan of Berdiens! I love her layered style, and her use of combining Designer Series Paper and die cuts in her creations is amazing! ⁠I've CASE-d Berdein once before in a different challenge, and the card was of a similar style to this week's challenge (if you are after some more inspiration 😉). Check it out here.

 

Like Berdien's card, I've kept the same layout and basic design as hers, but that is where the similarities stop. I've gone for a Christmas-themed card as opposed to Berdein's fruit and floral card.

I've started the card with a Crumb Cake base. I originally was going to use Basic Beige, but it just didn't look right, so Crumb Cake it was. I've added some embossed layers to the base using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. Over that, then I've used the Perennial Postage Dies and the Christmas Tags & More Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

This DSP is fantastic and is so versatile for all your Christmas crafting needs. This unique assortment of paper and precut images makes it easy to coordinate colours and images on your Christmas cards and gift tags. It includes full-sheet designs, cut-apart designs for card fronts and tags, and precut images for quick accents.

Over the DSP pieces, I've layered some of the precut images also from the Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP with a circle die cut from the Stylish Shapes and the 'Merry Christmas' dies come from the Words for the Season Dies. I then finished the card off with some Loose Gold Sequins and some Early Espresso Linen Thread.

 I do hope that you like my CASE on Berdien's card. Just remember when CASEing start with the initial inspiration of the original project and then really try to change it up to make it your own, with your personal touch.

 I do hope that you enjoy my take on the Global Design Projects CASE the Designer Challenge. For the full list of all the products used, please refer to the product list below.
