There’s something so peaceful about pine branche

There’s something so peaceful about pine branches and snowflakes.

Today’s project features the Color Fusers Color Challenge for November, using Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, and Pretty Peacock — such a rich and elegant combo!

I’ve been creating with @stampinupofficial ‘s Elegant Pine Snowflake Suite Collection, and honestly, it’s pure winter magic. The colors, the textures, the shimmer… it all comes together so gracefully.

This week for my last creative creations as an Art

This week for my last creative creations as an Artisan, I’m featuring a couple of projects using @stampinupofficial ‘s Branching Out Bundle. And, Oh my, it’s quickly become one of my new favorites!

For my first card, I kept it clean and simple — a white base that lets those intricate frame dies shine. They make the branches look so detailed, almost like a little nature scene in a frame.

I also shared a few fun techniques: how to make fake snow on your branches ❄️ and how to spritz soft background color using ink refills and a spritzer for extra depth.

And because I couldn’t stop creating, I made a shaker box with the same bundle! 🎁 The layered branches behind the window look like a snowy forest, just magical.

I’m so excited to be part of today’s Artisan O

I’m so excited to be part of today’s Artisan October Insta hop featuring @stampinupofficial’s North Pole Delivery Suite Collection. It’s filled with cheerful designs and adorable fur babies.

Our group challenge was to use colors that were not part of the suite. I designed with neutral tones. I made two cards and a little package. For my first card, I used neutral tones with an ombré background onto the Silent Snowfall Designer Series Paper. The second card features a fun mirror stamping technique so the bear could face the opposite direction. And lastly, I made a little package that opens to reveal all the furry friends inside! 🐻🎄⬅️swipe to see all the different images.

Hop along with us for endless inspiration and see how each crafter brings their unique twist to this sweet suite.

Next in our Hop is the talented Marion @einilomascrap. Be sure to check out her wonderful projects!
