We Craft In Pink In October ... With Stampin' Up!'s Artisan Design Team!

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


I went all in on PINK! for this card. All products from Stampin’ Up! Started with Melon Mambo Two-Tone Cardstock, embossed with the Sunflower Embossing Folder, sanded, & then blended Bubble Bath ink over it. Added elements from the Beautiful Butterfly Bundle & Iridescent Treat Bags! 😍



I literally cannot get enough of those Iridescent Treat Bags. I used them as the background layer, die cut with the Perennial Postage Dies. And then also the top butterfly layer, cut out using the Beautiful Butterflies Dies.

Now you need to make sure you check out all the fabulous projects! The hop is over on Instagram! So head on over to my page to start: @designwithink and then click through the full hop to see all the fabulous inspiration and to share some love with all the designers!

Use Your Stash Hop With Your Trusty Tools!

Are you using your stash or letting it sit around?! If you need some inspiration to use that stash - well follow along! We have a fun Use Your Stash Hop today using some Trusty Tools!


I am highlighting the Flower Frenzy Bigz Die! 🩷 LOVE this thing and these dies pack a punch! Layers of cardstock or fabric or … well lots! So this fabulous flower frenzy of dies has gotten a lot of use.


This time - I die cut them from Basic White Cardstock and just use Blending Brushes to add color in the depth I wanted it in! I also used the *current* stamp set - Stripes & Dots - to add some whimsy! This flower alone packs a punch! All supplies I used are from @stampinupofficial.





What trusty tool from your stash would you want to use?! Hop along to see all the fun tools used in this hop! The hop is hosted over on IG so head there to see them all! You do not want to miss the beauty that is being shared!

Lovely Florals Birthday ...

Hello!  Hope you are having a fabulous day today!  I just have a fun card to share with you today made with the Lovely Florals Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!  


The greeting is from the Not 29 Anymore Stamp Set ... which has a fun variety of Happy Birthday sentiments and greetings.  But love how this card came together!

The flower is stamped in Gray Granite ink (and the grid behind the flower is also stamped in the same color) and then colored with Blends Makers:  Bubble Bath & Lemon Lime Twist.  

I am a bit obsessed with this banner piece that is in the stamp set.  How cute and fun is this little detail?!  And to say I am obsessed with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder is a bit of an understatement.  Hee.  😍


And here is one last look at the full card all together.  


I hope you enjoy this card!  Thank you so much for visiting!  Please let me know if you have any questions on anything!

Spooky Turned Soothing ... Color Challenge for TGIF Challenge #545!

We have a fun color challenge today for our TGIF Challenge #545!  I am excited about this one because given the colors in the challenge + the fact that we are in October now ... you may get some spooky vibes with the colors! 🦇👻🎃  However ... I went for a softer and soothing vibe for my card this week!  🌻 So let's get started!  


And then here is the official challenge with the colors ... 

Fun, huh?!  I had so much fun making this card!  All supplies are from Stampin' Up!  and I used the Beautiful Motifs Bundle along with the Sunflower Embossing Folder.  💕  Instead of using the cardstock with the deep rich colors, I used a Blending Brush with Gorgeous Grape & Daffodil Delight ink to blend the shade of the color I wanted onto Basic White cardstock.  I also stamped the floral texture stamp onto Basic White Cardstock before embossing with the Sunflower Embossing Folder.  😍  Of course - I added some splatter too! 




What do you think?  So pretty and soothing?!  One more full view of my card: 

So what do you think?!  Does this color combo make you feel more spooky or soothed?!  Hee.  Head on over to the TGIF Challenge Blog to see what the other designers made and to play along! 

Thank you so much for visiting!  Please let me know if you have any questions or need help with any of your paper crafting needs!

A Quick Sunrise Sailing Thanks!

Just have a quick share today!  I made this awhile ago and forgot to share!  I LOVE the Sunrise Sailing Bundle ... so gorgeous!  I paired it with the Ocean Friends Dies (on Last Chance list!  Don't miss this one!  I LOVE LOVE LOVE that big coral!) and quickly made this fun card!

I also used the Soft Waves Embossing Folder because ... well ... of course!  Hee.  There is a fun embossing folder that comes with the sailboat also. So I used that just with the sailboat to make that a bit more 3D.  It's fun in real life.  😃

Here are a couple more pics ... 


Thank you so much for visiting and really hope you enjoy this card!  Please let me know if you have any questions!  Would be happy to help you with all your papercrafting needs!

Branching Out With the Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team!

Time for another product spotlight with some of us on Stampin' Up!'s 2025 Artisan Design Team!  Over on Instagram we are sharing projects we made with the Branching Out Bundle!  And I think you will be able to tell we had quite a lot of fun with these products!  A fun variety of colors and layouts and ideas and more! 💕 I'm sharing my projects here, and then head on over to Instagram to check out all the others! 


I used a color combo of Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lime Twist, Peach Pie, Basic White, and Gold.  It was a really fun combo to use - so bright & cheery!  Let me show you each individual card a bit closer ... 

This one has so many fun details.  I did a watercolor wash background in Fresh Freesia, Peach Pie, & Lemon Lime Twist. Then stamped & embossed over that and added some splatter.  I am also obsessed with the layered die-cuts.  Just love love love them.  Haha.  Love the fun gold touches too - the embossed "hello" and the die-cuts add a punch! to the card.  Tip - die-cut a label and then cut in half to have a little peeking out from each side.  Swoon!  🥰




Then one last look at the full card: 


Now time to check out card #2.  Ready?!  😃

Lots of fun details here too!  First little fun tip ... 


I made a mask from a Window Sheet with the dies.  Then used that to add some ink to the larger sized die-cut for an easy and fun frame look.  




Then once again - loving those gold pops and the fun layered die-cuts and how the colors look together!  

One last look at the full card: 


Hope you enjoy these cards!  Have you played with the Branching Out Bundle yet?
