Be sure to hop along and see what everyone else created. You won’t want to miss the inspiration. 💕 Next in our Hop is the talented Sara @kisskreative Be sure to check out her wonderful projects!

💗 WHAT WE LOVE | UNOFFICIAL ARTISAN 2026 HOP Welc 💗 WHAT WE LOVE | UNOFFICIAL ARTISAN 2026 HOP Welcome to our hop along celebrating What We Love. This unofficial Artisan 2026 hop is all about introducing ourselves in a creative way. Each Artisan is sharing something they love. A favorite technique. A product they reach for again and again. A style that reflects who they are as a maker. It’s a peek into the heart behind the creativity. About my project: I made the cutest little banner for my craft space and I’m completely in love. I used the Party Alphabet & Party Banner Dies to create something that feels so me. There’s just something special about ink, paper, and stamps… the sound of the die cutting, the feel of cardstock, the layers coming together. Creating fills my cup and this little banner is such a happy addition to my space. Take your time hopping through, soak up the inspiration, and enjoy getting to know each Artisan a little better along the way.

Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! I had so much fun Happy Valentine’s Day, friends! I had so much fun designing for my Made with Love Craft Along Class this month — this collection is amazing and perfect for ANY occasion! I put together a full stationery set that included some fun fold cards, special techniques. I had so much pleasure getting together and sharing the process with everyone in the virtual class. Seeing all the creativity come to life is heartwarming. Whether it’s for Valentine’s, a birthday, or just because, @stampinupofficial ‘s Made with Love collection makes it easy to craft something meaningful. I can’t wait to see what YOU create! ✨ #MadeWithLove #CraftAlong #ValentinesDay #stampinup #stampinupcanada
So excited to share my first Artisan Extra project So excited to share my first Artisan Extra project of the year. I stepped outside the box with a unique card size and a custom envelope to match because details matter. I love using two-tone cardstock for envelopes because it’s not as thick, making it perfect for clean folds while still feeling polished. I embellished the envelope flap and the belly band with Love Notes Designer Series Paper, tying everything together with a soft, coordinated look. For this project, I created my own embossed foliage without an embossing folder, added white craft ink to linen thread for beautiful texture, and finished by adding ink with a blending brush, choosing colors that coordinate perfectly with the Designer Series Paper for a cohesive, polished feel. Thoughtful details, simple techniques… and just like that, you have a completely custom card and envelope set. Check out @stampinupofficial for step by step images. #ArtisanDesignTeam #HandmadeCards #StampinUp #CustomEnvelope #LoveNotesDSP
