02.27.2026…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends! Welcome to our hop along celebrating What We Love! This unofficial Artisan 2026 Instagram 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, or a style that reflects who they are as a maker. It’s a peek into the heart behind the creativity.
About my project: For this card, I used one of my all-time favorite products…..the Country Woods Designer Series Paper! I also love to mix and match that specific DSP with other DSP collections as well, and I decided to add in the Lovely Blossoms DSP. The Help Me Grow Bundle (available to customers beginning March 3, 2026) is one of my brand new faves, and I couldn’t wait to use it for this hop! I also like to call my specific style “shabby chic with a modern twist”, and I incorporate that into most of the projects that I create, including today’s card.
Take your time hopping through, soak up the inspiration, and enjoy getting to know each Artisan a little better along the way.

To create this card, I started with Cloud Cover Cardstock, embossed it with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder, and adhered it to a Cloud Cover Cardstock base. Next, I used some Country Woods DSP, tore off the bottom edge, and add some Lovely Blossoms DSP underneath. I then added some Basic White Thick Cardstock underneath the DSP, and used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere it to the card base. I also added two small strips of the Lovely Blossoms DSP (notched on the right edge) along with a little scalloped border, created with Basic White Thick Cardstock, and one of the Lovely Arrangements Dies.
To create the flower pot, flowers, and leaves, I used the dies from the Help Me Grow Bundle to cut out all of the shapes from Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper. To color the images, I used a Water Painter along with Crumb Cake, Gray Granite, Old Olive, and Secret Sea. I then used a Water Painter to splatter water drops. On the flower pot, I also added speckling (with a Dark Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends Marker) and then used a Water Painter (along with White Craft Ink) to add more splattering.
The sentiment (from the Beautiful Motifs Stamp Set) was heat-embossed on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and Gold Embossing Powder. To added a little extra texture, I created a bow with Secret Sea 3/8″ Bordered Open Weave Ribbon (cut in half lengthwise) and Linen Thread. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on Antique Pearls and Pressed Flower Motifs.
