❄️Artisan Design Team Inspiration is here! ❄️ Tod ❄️Artisan Design Team Inspiration is here! ❄️ Today we’re sharing projects featuring @stampinupofficial ‘s Cutest Crew Collection, and I have to say… I LOVE this bundle! I had so much fun pairing the adorable Cutest Crew with Ephemeras. The ephemera is fabulous because you can mix and match and add to the little characters and build them exactly how you want! ☃️ For my projects, I created two cards, including a fun technique for creating a wintery sky using ink and a blending brush. I also created snowy banks using cardstock to add dimension to the scenes. And, of course, I had to make a baby card because these little characters are just too cute! ❄️ I hope these projects inspire you to get creative with the Cutest Crew Bundle and create your own little winter scenes! ➡️ Next on our hop is Sara @kisskreative — be sure to hop over and see what she’s created!

Welcome to our unofficial Paper Pumpkin Insta Hop! Each month, participating members of the 2026 Stampin’ Up!

This community-led hop celebrates fresh ideas, creative techniques, and new ways to get even more from every kit.
