Welcome to the August 2026 Artisan Joy InstaHop! ✨

Welcome to the August 2026 Artisan Joy InstaHop! ✨

As members of the 2026 Stampin’ Up!® Artisan Design Team, we’re celebrating the creativity, friendships, growth, and special moments that have made this experience so incredibly meaningful. 💕

As applications open for the 2027 Artisan Design Team, I hope this hop offers a little encouragement to anyone dreaming about becoming an Artisan. If you’re an active Stampin’ Up!® Independent Demonstrator, perhaps this is the year you take that brave step and apply! Your creativity, your voice, and your unique perspective matter. ✨

For today’s hop, I’m sharing a couple of highlights from my Artisan journey. Looking back, what I will cherish most—far beyond the projects, recognition, and creative opportunities—are the friendships I’ve made with Artisans from across the globe. 🌎❤️

There’s something so special about being part of this incredible group of creative people, and I truly believe:

“Once an Artisan, always an Artisan.” 💕

Up next: one of the sweetest Artisans, the amazing Anja Beckmann @1stampingnightowl! 🥰

Be sure to hop along and see what these talented Artisans love most about this amazing experience!

I think I’ve found my new holiday crafting obsession! These little houses from the Neutral Noel Suite are just too adorable! I can already see myself adding them to cards, tags, little scenes and all kinds of holiday projects this season.

I can’t wait to share what I created with all of the virtual retreat attendees! Something tells me these little houses are going to be making a LOT of appearances this Christmas!🎄🏠✨

This month’s Color Fusers Blog Hop features the beautiful color combination of Pool Party, Secret Sea, and Lemon Lime Twist. As soon as I saw these colors together, they reminded me of the gorgeous shades of a peacock!

I created this card using @stampinupofficial ‘s Natural Artistry stamp set, the Swirls of Magic embossing folder, and finished it with foliage from the Ferns & Flora Dies—one of my favorite die sets.

🌸 Welcome to the August Global Ink Collective Inst

🌸 Welcome to the August Global Ink Collective InstaHop! 🌸

This month we’re featuring @stampinupofficial ‘s beautiful Bloom Boutique Suite Collection.

✨ My Project ✨

For my card, I combined Hydrangea Hue, Old Olive, and Secret Sea for a soft, calming colour palette that perfectly complements the elegant florals. One of my favourite things about this design is how easily it can be recreated in every In Color. Imagine gifting a complete set as a thoughtful hostess gift or a beautiful handmade gift for someone special!

I hope this project inspires you to create something beautiful with this stunning suite. 💕
