This week I attended Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Long This week I attended Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Long Beach. I didn’t have time to make many swaps, but I did participate in a special swap with the Artisan Design Team. For my card, I meshed the Scalloped Wishes Bundle with the Flowers & Flare Stamp Set. I lightly watercolored part of the die-cut image using ink and a water painter for a soft blended look. The combination of both the bundle and the stamp set really captured the look I was going for, and I truly love how they work together. I can’t wait to create more with these two! Color combo: Old Olive, Basic Beige, and Poppy Parade. #stampinup #cardmaking #papercrafting #stampinupcanada #stampinuponstage2026
It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it It’s the first Monday of the month, which means it’s time for the Color Fuser Blog Hop! 🍓 This month we’re combining Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, and Berry Burst Colors. Such a bold, fresh, and vibrant trio! For my project, I paired these gorgeous colors with @stampinupofficial Filled With Sweetness Bundle, which will be available to customers starting March 3rd And I couldn’t resist adding in some products from the 2026 Virtual Card Making Retreat to bring everything together. More details and step by step instructions available on my blog. I love how this combo feels bright, cheerful, and full of creative energy for March. Be sure to hop along and see how everyone else used this month’s colors.

💗 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.
