Creative Love & Thanks

We, the 2025 Artisan Design Team, want to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Cindy, Melody & everyone at the Concept Artists team, who helped us during our Artisan Year.

One Monday the 15th of December a box was delivered to the Stampin' Up! Home Office, with all our gifts.  We will show them to you in this hop!

I chose the Petals of Beauty Bundle, along with the gorgeous Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper, to create my gift of gratitude.  The sentiments on both projects say it all!

It has been such an honor to craft alongside this talented group of Artisans this pst year! My crafty dreams have most certainly been fulfilled!

Happy Stamping!

Let's Get Seasonal

It's time to get seasonal with some of my Artisan friends!  With the {almost} release of new seasonal/holiday products, we are sharing some of our favorites with you today!  Follow along with us over on Instagram and see all of the seasonal creations we have to share!

Now that the kiddos are back in school and I am back to work, I'm slowly starting to embrace the fact that summer is almost over and fall is coming next.   The beautiful Amber Autumn bundle is brining all the fall vibes. 

Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger, Peach Pie, Mossy Meadow and Granny Apple Green are some of my favorite fall colors. They were perfect for these festive pumpkins and gourds! And can we talk about this die cut background?!?  It is stunning!

I changed things up just a bit for the next card, switching out the pumpkins for acorns and added a little Autumn Toile DSP.  And the Irregular Weave ribbon...it's so good!  I see a lot of this in my creative future!

Taking the Scenic Route with the Artisan Design Team

 

We are so excited about the 2025 Artisan journey we get to take with you this year & all that we have to share!  So let's keep the sharing going with an InstaHop inspired by the new Annual Catalog.  Come hop along with us as we share projects inspired by new and carry-over products!

I am sharing a bright and happy card using the Weekend Adventures stamp set, which is part of the Weekend Adventure scrapbooking products.

I opted for a card with this stamp set, using the adorable camping coffee mug.  I'm all about ALL things coffee, especially when you can add some cute flowers to the mix!

I stamped the mug in VersaMark on Petunia Pop, Summer Splash and Timid Tiger, then heat embossed in white.  I also added some white splatters...because every good camping mug has some good splatters on it!

I colored the cute wildflowers in colors to coordinate with the mugs, tucking them inside the top mug.  I used the Painted Trees 3D embossing folder with a piece of Granny Apple Green Two-Tone Cardstock, sanding a little bit off to expose the white core of the paper.    I finished the card off with the sentiment stamped in Secret Sea and a few Secret Sea 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.

Be sure to follow along with the hop over on Instagram so you don't miss a single creation from the 2025 Artisan Design Team!

Once An Artisan, Always An Artisan

 Last week at OnStage in Raleigh, past and present Artisan's met up for hugs, laughs and swaps.  This was my favorite moment of the week!

I used the Online Exclusives You Are Remarkable and Painted Stripes stamp sets for my card.  Bright and cheerful colors were a must...Petunia Pop, Lemon Lime Twist and, my favorite, Coastal Cabana.

This sentiment was absolutely perfect for all of my talented and crafty friends...they make my world a happier place!

Some Lemon Lime Twist Painted Stripes and some heat embossed splatters created a fun background for these pretty flowers.

Look at all of these beautiful, talented, loving and caring friends...it was sooooo good to see all of them! Once an Artisan, always an Artisan!

Happy Stamping!

Show a Little Love

Hello stamping friends!!  Today, the 2025 Artisan Design Team is some inspiration with some projects about things we love!  Check out the full lineup of projects over on Instagram and follow me at @craftsomnia

I decided to create a scrapbook page and fill it with some of the things I love!  A cup of coffee and a good book, my favorite place to visit, my flower garden, all of my doggies and, of course, being creative!  

I used the Mixed Media Florals DSP, fussy cutting the pretty floral boarder to create a frame.  I love the black and white floral pattern in the background and of course I had to add in a few stripes to the mix!

I used a variety of dies to include some of my favorite things...can you spot them all?
