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.

Next on the hop is my sweet friend from the UK Emma, @coastalcrafter

So excited to be hopping today with my talented Artisan friends for our February Artisan Group Hop! 💛✨

I’m featuring projects created with the beautiful Easter Joy Suite Collection from @stampinupofficial — and I had so much fun stretching it beyond just Easter!

🐣 A sweet mini egg treat box (because Cadbury mini eggs are a tradition over here!)
🎨 A bunny card with soft circle blending and fluffy cotton ball tails
🎉 And a non-Easter “hi” card featuring a custom banner made with the Party Alphabet Dies

I love showing how a suite can be used in multiple ways with just a few creative techniques — embossing DSP, modifying dies, watercolor blending, and interactive details.

Be sure to hop along and see what everyone else created. You won’t want to miss the inspiration. 💕

Do you keep a display in your craft space where you showcase your favorite products and creations? I absolutely love having a little area that inspires me every time I walk in 💕

Today I decided it’s time for a refresh! I’m updating my shelves and adding some fresh spring creations to brighten everything up. 🌸✨

I can’t wait to share the final look with you… but for now, here’s a before pic! Stay tuned for the reveal! 💗

💗 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.

I created an adorable mini purse using the True Blue Floral Designer Series Paper, and inside are a couple of coordinating mini cards — perfect for gifting or just because! It features one of the Products of the Month, the beautiful True Blue Floral DSP and good news, it’s still available. The product of the month can be added to your order for just $5 when you place a $100 qualifying order — such a great way to stretch your supplies and try something new!
