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 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!

Spreading awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness

Spreading awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Inside the purse, I tucked in four mini cards, and there’s even room to add a little treat for that special someone. I used @stampinupofficial ‘s Love & Courage Stamp Set, designed for those affected by breast cancer, for moments when words matter most. With each purchase, Stampin’ Up! donates $4 to support the fight against breast cancer around the world. Support The Cause💗

I made this scrapbooking page to honour Tammy who bravely fought cancer and continues to inspire everyone around her. I organized a scrapbooking kit night. This event brought people together in a sea of pink to show support for breast cancer awareness. Our guest speaker @tammyrichardwarrior shared her story-an inspiring presentation on self-exams and the importance of awareness.
She is a fellow demonstrator and team member who has bravely battled breast cancer three times. Guests enjoyed creating with their Stampin’ Up! paper crafting kits, and a portion of the proceeds was donated to the Breast Cancer Foundation. Breast cancer awareness reminds us of the power of community. Through paper crafting, we come together to support, uplift, and show love to those facing this battle-one handmade creation at a time.

💕🩷💕WE CRAFT IN PINK IN OCTOBER with the 2025 Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team! Come hop along with us while we honor all the women that have battled & continue to battle the terrible breast cancer disease.

I’ve always wanted to make an Origami Purse and today’s stamping cause was perfect for that. I used the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper and I added four mini cards inside. The pink tones are perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, paired with @stampinupofficial ‘s Love & Courage Stamp Set, designed for those affected by breast cancer, for moments when words matter most. With each purchase, Stampin’ Up! donates $4 to support the fight against breast cancer around the world. I finished it off with the Everyday Arches Dies for that cute purse clip detail and I added texture using the upcoming Lasting Linen Stamp Set, available soon to customers and currently available for demonstrator pre-order.

Time to keep hopping because you don’t want to miss anything! Next up is my sweet friend Jaqueline - @touchofjoycs!

Make sure you click through the full hop to see all the fabulous inspiration and to share some love with all the designers! 🩷💕🩷
