Stampin' Up! Home Office Demo Event Fun!

Back at the end of May! (Yeah … been meaning to post this for awhile. 😂😆😬) I was able to attend a demonstrator event at Stampin’ Up!’s Home Office. 😍 There was so much creativity shared, inspiring thoughts, bonding time with friends, etc, etc. It was such a fabulous event that filled my heart in more ways than I can express. There also was a name badge contest, and I was one of the winners! I was honored because there were so many fun creative ones! (And I can't find the photo in my camera roll that I thought I had of all the winners! ) But here is my name badge ...


I actually CASE'd myself ... in honor of all my Artisans! I had made a card just like this for a hop I did with my 2024 Artisan team. So by making this ... felt like I was taking a piece of them with me!

Now here's just a photo blast of a whole bunch of photos from the day. Of course being at the office led to a photo shoot around the office! Haha.

🥰 I’m so incredibly grateful to be part of a company that has provided me with so many opportunities and brought So. Many. Incredible. People into my life. (Some are pictured here, and some are not.) Truly - I am in awe & thinking about this bring tears to my eyes every. Time.




















📣 Huge thanks to those at @stampinupofficial that put this event on. Things like this just keep me coming back for more! 🤣👏🎉 Love the Stampin’ Up! community! 🩷

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!
