Welcome to our unofficial Paper Pumpkin Insta Hop! Welcome to our unofficial Paper Pumpkin Insta Hop! Each month, participating members of the 2026 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team come together to share alternate projects inspired by that month's Paper Pumpkin kit. This community-led hop celebrates fresh ideas, creative techniques, and new ways to get even more from every kit. This Month's Featured Kit: June 2026 @paperpumpkin | Bikes & Blooms For this hop, I made an interactive pocket card and filled the basket with puppies using one of my @stampinupofficial favorite bundles, Cutest Crew. Do you love puppies as much as I do? This is only a warm up… I made so many things with this box, so keep checking for more… If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, be sure to check for refill kits and coordinating add-on products when they're available. They're the perfect way to extend your creativity while supplies last! If you're not already a subscriber and would like to learn more about Paper Pumpkin, I'd love to help.

It’s time for another Color Fusers Blog Hop! This It’s time for another Color Fusers Blog Hop! This month we’re creating with Cloud Cover, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Poppy Parade, and I love how these colors came together. For my card, I featured @stampinupofficial ‘s new Framed Violet Bundle paired with the Sweet Bugs Bundle and coordinating Designer Series Paper. The Framed Violet Bundle has quickly become one of my new favorites, and I always enjoy mixing new products with old favorites to create something fresh. I hope you enjoy today’s project and find a little inspiration along Full List of Color Fusers Design Team: @tamilhewlett @melissascraftingtreehouse @kim_mcgillis @thesongbirdstamper @melsinkyfingers @bonniestamped @TatianaCreative @lou_kitzelman @stampwithbrenda #ColorFusers #StampinUp #Cardmaking #PaperCrafting #HandmadeCards

A couple of weeks ago, I had the incredible honor A couple of weeks ago, I had the incredible honor of being a Guest Designer for Connect & Create. Little did I know that this week, while attending Selene’s crafting event in Maine, USA, I’d walk into a room and discover that some of the attendees were creating cards that I had designed! 🥹💖 It was such a surreal and heartwarming moment to see my designs bringing joy to others and inspiring creativity across the border. Even more special was meeting these wonderful ladies—Sharyn, Barbara, and Joanne. What started as a chance meeting quickly turned into new friendships that I’ll truly cherish. Moments like these remind me why I love this amazing crafting community so much. It’s not just about paper and stamps—it’s about the connections we make, the memories we create, and the friendships that bloom along the way. Thank you Selene for the special invite as a guest designer. I love connecting with all of you! #ConnectAndCreate #StampingCommunity #CardMaking #PaperCrafting #StampinUp

I love to stamp on paper tissue and custom design I love to stamp on paper tissue and custom design bags. @stampinupofficial ‘s Velvet Meadow Suite is perfect for that since the DSP has a velvet texture and stunning colors. To top it off, I had to make a custom tag to coordinate with the bag. Which detail would you try? #StampinUp #VelvetMeadowSuite #handmadeBag #stampinupcanada #PaperCrafting
