06.13.2026…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! Welcome to the June 2026 Unofficial Artisan InstaHop! This month, we’re sharing projects for our Artisan Stash theme…..Old Favorites + New Inspiration.
We’re pulling out those Stampin’ Up!® products we still love, pairing them with something fresh, and giving our stash a beautiful new moment. Because creativity doesn’t expire, and sometimes the prettiest inspiration is hiding in the products we’ve been saving for “someday.”
For my card, I used several RETIRED products. I chose the Whimsical Tree Bundle (…..which by the way is from my hands down all-time favorite holiday suite EVER…..the Whimsy & Wonder Suite), the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder, More Dazzle Specialty Paper, and White Iridescent 1/2″ Ribbon.
The CURRENT products that I used were several of the basics…Basic White Thick Cardstock, Fluid 100 Wtercolor Paper, Melon Mambo and Coastal Cabana Classic Stampin’ Pads, Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels, and Sunset Sparkle Sequins.
I’m so excited to hop along with these talented Artisans and see how everyone mixed older favorites with newer products in their own creative style.

Never have I ever created a holiday card in the middle of June…..but here we are! The Whimsical Tree Bundle was calling my name!
For this card, I started with some Basic White Thick Cardstock, used a Blending Brush to add Melon Mambo, and embossed it with the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I then layered a slight larger piece of Basic White Thick Cardstock underneath. For a subtle pop of color, I used a Water Painter to add Coastal Cabana to Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, and layered that undeneath as well. Next, I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the entire panel to a Basic White Thick Cardstock base.
To create the largest tree, I used a Water Painter to add Melon Mambo to Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, added some splattering, and cut it out with one of the dies from the Whimsical Trees Bundle. For the tree garland, I used one of the dies from the Whimsical Trees Bundle, along with the More Dazzle Specialty Paper. For the medium trees, I used a Water Painter to add Coastal Cabana to Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper, and cut them out with one of the dies from the Whimsical Trees Bundle. I also used the same die to cut out one tree from Basic White Thick Cardstock. For the two smallest trees, I used two of the dies from the Whimsical Trees Bundle, along with the More Dazzle Specialty Paper.
The sentiment (from the Whimsical Trees Bundle) was heat-embossed on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and Gold Embossing Powder. To create the bow, I used White Iridescent 1/2″ Ribbon (cut in half lengthwise). For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels and Sunset Sparkle Sequins.
