Welcome to the Painted Collage Artisan Showcase In Welcome to the Painted Collage Artisan Showcase InstaHop! We’re members of the Stampin’ Up!® 2026 Artisan Design Team sharing projects created for Creativity Now, a demonstrator-only crafting event. Enjoy a peek at the Painted Collage Suite Collection before its November release! ✨ My project, A little shabby chic with a touch of vintage charm. I love the soft combination of Petal Pink and Golden Glow in this design, paired with the beautiful botanical elements from the Painted Collage Suite. One of my favourite details is the faux ruched ribbon I created using the Designer Series Paper. It adds lovely texture and dimension while tying all the layers together. Finished with delicate die cuts, a touch of linen thread, and a few embellishments, this card has just the vintage-inspired look I was going for! 👉 Hop next to my talented friend Vicki @vickiboucher Follow along for more inspiration! 🎨 Pamela Blackwell @restoringjoystudio 🎨 Julia Maser @creative.ju 🎨 Kim McGillis @kim_mcgillis 🎨 Vicki Boucher @vickiboucher 🎨 Michelle Pepper @stampwithmichellenz 🎨 Anja Beckmann @1stampingnightowl 🎨 Sara Sayers @KISSKreative 🎨 Debbie Scott @blueeyedstamper 🎨 Teri West @alaskastamper 🎨 Berdien Weideveld @berdien_weideveld 🎨 Aurélie Fabre @autour.du.papier 🎨 Andrea Sargent @andreaksargent 🎨 Lara Moss @scrappykea 🎨 Sarine Zijderveld @sarinezijderveld An unofficial hop hosted by 2026 Artisan Design Team members. #StampinUp #ArtisanDesignTeam #PaintedCollage #CreativityNow #InstaHop
For my first mini card featuring the Secret Sea Wi For my first mini card featuring the Secret Sea Witch Hat, I combined the Harvest Hues and Harvest & Holly Mix & Match Ephemera Packs for a fun, layered design. The Neutrals Jute Combo Pack and 2026–2028 In Color Dots add those perfect finishing touches, but my favorite detail has to be the beautiful leaf texture created with the Seasonal Cheer Mini Embossing Folders! 🍃 ✨ A little shopping tip! These embossing folders are on the Last Chance list! If they’re on your wish list, now’s the time to grab them before they’re gone! #StampinUp #MiniCards #FallCardmaking #PaperCrafting #StampinUpCanada ArtisanDesignTeam
This card is giving all the pumpkin spice latte vi This card is giving all the pumpkin spice latte vibes, and I just can’t get enough of it! Using the Harvest Hues Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and Harvest and Holly Mix & Match Specialty Ephemera Pack, I brought together the sweetest coffee cups, delicate leaves, pretty flowers, and a little book to create the cosiest autumn scene. I love the combination of Petal Pink and Cajun Craze, finished with that beautiful gold sentiment! How perfect this card would be as an invitation to book club? Or for that special friend where you can pair it with a favorite novel, a handwritten recipe, or an invitation to enjoy a pumpkin spice latte together! ☕ Because handmade cards are about more than paper and pretty embellishments. They’re about sharing love, creating connections, and making someone’s day a little more special. #StampinUp #PumpkinKissesAndHarvestWishes #FallCardMaking #HandmadeCards #bookclub
🍂 Pumpkin spice lattes, sweater weather, and beaut 🍂 Pumpkin spice lattes, sweater weather, and beautiful fall leaves! 🍁 My favourite season! For this month’s Artisan Design Team hop, I’m sharing fall creations using the Seasonal Mix & Match products from @stampinupofficial’s September–December 2026 Catalogue. I love how the little details come together! The layered elements add so much dimension to my wreath, and those tiny flowers are the perfect finishing touch. I’m absolutely in love with this collection—the quality, the Colors, and all the possibilities! Now I can’t wait to create with the holiday collection, too! 🎄✨ ➡️ Next on our hop is Sara @kisskreative — be sure to hop over and see what she’s created!
