The 2026 Artisan Design Team application period is open...have you applied yet?!? Don't second guess yourself...take the leap and apply!
My Artisan journey began back in 2013 when the team consisted of only US and Canadian demonstrators. Back then, you had to send in physical projects to Stampin' Up! and they selected 20 finalists. I didn't make the final cut that year, but that is where my journey truly began! I met so many amazing people that year, many who are still a huge part of my life today.
I applied every year there after for TEN years. TEN years, friends! I wanted to give up so many times, but thanks to the encouragement from past Artisan's, I kept trying. In 2024, my efforts paid off and I was selected to be on the team. A dream come true! To be selected for a second year this year seemed unreal, but here we are!
As an Artisan, you receive so many amazing products and have the opportunity to share your creativity with people all around the world...it's so awesome! But my favorite part of being a part of the team is the community and friendships that are built.
Sure we chat about all things stamping, but there are also so many other conversations about life, kids, work...all the things that build those life long friendships!
Once an Artisan, always an Artisan...this statement couldn't be more true. It has been so much fun the past two years gathering past and present Artisan's at OnStage events. This will be something I look forward to every single year from this point forward.
So, if you have ever considered apply for Artisan, do it! Even if it take you 10 years to make the team, take the leap and apply!
Happy Stamping!
