Artisan Extra! With a Memorable Blooms Wreath!

This is still so much fun to me!  It is so much fun being on the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team.  A couple weeks ago ... this project I made was posted by Stampin' Up! So guess it's past time to get it posted here!  

I made a home decor wreath with the Memorable Blooms Bundle!  I LOVE this bundle and it was fun to pair with the Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper & Spotlight on Nature Dies.    

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Gray Granite, Basic White

Inks: Wild Wheat, VersaMark  BLENDS MARKERS: Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Pretty In Pink, Pool Party

Cardstock/Papers: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lolly, Floral & Gingham Vellum Specialty Designer Series Paper

Stamps: Memorable Blooms

Tools:  Spotlight in Nature Dies, Memorable Blooms Dies, Heat Tool

Accessories: Basics Wow! Embossing Powder, Basic Beige 3/8" Bordered Ribbon, Iridescent Faceted Gems 

What do you think?!  Want to know how to create one yourself?!  Well let me show you the few steps it takes to make it! 

BONUS PIC:  This is what it will look like after you have adhered the 4 remaining hexagons to the wreath.

A few more bonus pics of some of the details!  And look at how cute this whole Memorable Blooms Bundle is! 

After you color your floral image, add some of the leaf die-cuts, your greeting & another circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies.  This makes your focal point for the wreath!

How cute is it on the wreath?! 😍😍😍

It is so easy to make the little ribbon hanger.  Just cut about an 8" piece of the Basic Beige 3/8" Bordered Ribbon.  Make a little loop with it & adhere it to the back.  Then tie a large bow with the same ribbon and adhere that to the base of the ribbon loop.

Here is the back of the wreath when it's all done:

Then a pic of the final wreath for one more view of it...

It is an easy project, but so much fun!  And you can easily change this up using whatever paper you want & decorate it however you want!  

Hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting! Please let me know if you have any questions!  Or need help getting any Stampin' Up! supplies!  Would be happy to help you with your papercrafting needs!

Hoppity Hopping with the Artisan Design Team & the Botanical Textures Suite!

Yay!  Yesterday we got to hop with some of my 2024 Stampin' Up! Artisan friends and today I am hopping with some of my 2025 Artisan friends!  Pretty exciting couple of days, huh?! 😁  

Today is SHOWCASE HOP day!  This team of Artisans was given the Online Exclusive Botanical Textures Suite to create some fun projects with!  It is a GORGEOUS suite & I think you are going to love what we have to share today!  Hopefully we WOW! you a bit too! 💕

I went all neutral with a small pop of color ... Bubble Bath.  I went more stark for one with the black.  And more subtle with the other. 

I love all the textures in this suite.  I combined some stamping, Designer Series Paper, ink blending, trims, etc to try to showcase all that texture.  😍  Here are a few pics so you can see the layers & details ... 

Fraying the ends of the ribbon trim is an easy way to add a fun little textured detail and fits well with the vibe of this card.  

This sentiment was fun to do.  I just stamped and die-cut from Basic White cardstock.  But then I added some Bubble Bath ink with a Blending Brush.  I love the ombre color and the texture it adds to not just have it stamped on a solid color.  

And this stamping down the side was fun, quick, & easy to add a bit more texture and create more interest.  I love it.  

Creating this black card was a lot of fun.  I cut out some of the rectangles from Basic Black cardstock with the Textured Notes Dies.  Then I embossed them with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder and layered them over one of the black pieces of Designer Series Paper.  

All about texture, texture, texture! 😍😍😍

I had so much fun making these cards! I hope you enjoyed seeing them! What is your fave detail?!  And just saying ... the Textured Notes Bundle is a blast to use!  Those rectangle dies - yes, please!  💕

Now it is time to keep hopping to check out all the projects from the other Artisan Design Team Members that are sharing today!  More gorgeousness on the way for you!

You also may be asking yourself ... where in the world are those flowers from?!  Well ... yes! I am sharing a SNEAK PEEK with you today!  In May, this ☆ NEW & FABULOUS ☆ bundle called Impressions Abloom will be released in the Online Exclusives.  It will be a hot item for sure and I had so much fun with it for this hop!

Let me show you a few more pics & details.  First up ... how I did the multi-colored watercolor wash:

I love doing this to add such gorgeous depth to whatever you die-cut or use this wash for.  And it doesn't have to look pretty on the paper.  Because when you use just bits of it ... well ... just look how pretty all the pinks blend together!

Pretty much in love.  Hee.  A few more views:

Bold Background With Ocean Friends for TGIF Challenge #517!

Apparently can't stop with the Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection from Stampin' Up!  Today I have a cheery card today to remind you it is FRIDAY! ♡ And time for a NEW TGIF Challenge!  Of course ... as always ... it is another FUN one!  Want to make some bold backgrounds?!  Well then let's get started! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Melon Mambo,  Basic White, Gold, Variety from DSP

Inks: VersaMark, Coastal Cabana

Cardstock/Papers: Melon Mambo, Basic White, Basic Black, Friends of the Ocean DSP

Stamps: Ocean Friends

Tools:  Ocean Friends Dies, Soft Waves Embossing Folder, Heat Tool, Water Painter

Accessories: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Iridescent Faceted Gems, Basics WOW! Embossing Powder, Metallics Wow! Embossing Powder  

I went with a bit of a subtle bold background.  I used white cardstock, die cut a punch of ocean wave strips, and then just gold embossed the ends. It makes it pop and just look how pretty the gold is ... 

I kept the rest of the card pretty simple ... but fun!  I cut out a bunch of the ocean creatures from the Friends of the Ocean Designer Series Paper and added them to my greeting. 

You could do so much with this challenge ... 

And we can't wait to see what you make!  So now head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to check out the fabulous projects from the others on the Design Team and to play along yourself!

Layers of Blues Meet Ocean Friends!

It is no secret I love the ocean & I love the Ocean Friends Suite from Stampin' Up!  (It is in the Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalog if you haven't seen it yet.) For this card today though ... I am not using the colors from the suite!  Which is a little shocking because I LOVE the colors of the suite.  But anyway ... went all in with blue!  And I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out.  

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon, Basic White, Basic Black

Inks: Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Azure Afternoon, Basic Black, Basic White

Stamps: Ocean Friends

Tools:  Ocean Friends Dies, Soft Waves Embossing Folder, Heat Tool, Linked Together Decorative Masks, Palette Knives

Accessories: Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Iridescent Faceted Gems, Shimmery White Embossing Paste, Basics WOW! Embossing Powder

I started by layering color onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using ink and Blending Brushes.  The colors are:  Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon.  Then I splattered some water on it for an organic "ocean-y" bubble vibe.  Let that dry and stamp your images!  

I added another fun layer after it was all dry.  Can you tell what it is?!  Not an embossing folder, but instead ... EMBOSSING PASTE!  I haven't used this in awhile & I don't know why.  Because it is SO MUCH FUN!  I just laid down one of the Linked Together Decorative Masks over the inked & stamped cardstock and added the paste.  Let dry then voila!  Gorgeous shimmery, 3D but not bulky, layer! Love the detail it adds to this card too!

Also ... words can't express just how much I love this big coral die cut.  I don't think I will ever be sick of it.  NOTE: the little scallop detail under the greeting is a piece of the wave die cut that is in the coordinating dies! 

One last look at the full card! 😍

I really hope you enjoy this card!  Thank you so much for visiting!  If you have any questions ... please don't hesitate to reach out and ask!  I would love to help!  

If you need any fabulous Stampin' Up! products ... would be happy to help with that too!

Storybook Moments Fun With the Artisan Design Team!

Well YIPPEEEEEE!!!  Here we go with another Mini Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team Hop!  Those of us that were assigned the STORYBOOK MOMENTS SUITE!!! to spotlight this month are all hopping over on IG sharing our projects that we made!  So that is the best place to see all the projects, but wanted to share mine here too! 

All supplies are from ©️ Stampin' Up!

Colors:  Petal Pink, Boho Blue, Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie, Basic White

Inks: Calypso Coral, Old Olive, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, VersaMark

Cardstock/Papers: Boho Blue, Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Basic White, Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, Timeless Plaid DSP, Storybook Moments Specialty DSP

Such fun products, huh?  There are two stamp sets, two sets of coordinating dies - and those FRAMES!!! 😍😍😍  Then add in TWO paper packs, some ribbon, AND some gorgeous Antique Pearls ... and WOW!  Stunning suite! 

Let me show you each card a little more close up: 

I love the simplicity of this card.  The background is paper from the Timeless Plaid 6"x6" DSP pack.  And then the panel is Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.  (Side note: this paper is AMAZING!  Such fabulous quality.  Highly recommend having this always available in your craft room.  Hee.)  I love the gold embossing with watercolored images, and I think they definitely steal the show here! 

LOVE the bit of frame playing peekaboo on the side too.  Have to admit ... maybe squealed a little in my craft room when I added that to the card front panel because I thought it was so cute. 😂

I plan on making more of this card ... even trying it with different stamp sets ... cause I think it's so cute.  Hee.  

Time to highlight this next card: 

Love the little details on this one!  Once again ... watercoloring with gold embossing!  Love it!  And love the little bundle of garden.  😃  The label the sentiment is stamped on is actually the inside of one of the frames.  LOVE the frame dies because you have bonus die-shapes that come with each one!  💗

I hope you enjoy!  And check out all the projects from the other Artisan Design Team Members that are sharing today!  You will be very happy you did because they are all stunning!
