06.23.2021…..Happy Wednesday, everyone! I’m so excited to share my June monthly showcase projects for the Stampin’ Up! 2021 Artisan Design Team! For this month’s projects, I was asked to use products from the Hand-Penned Suite, from the Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.

There have also been a few changes to the way the Artisan Design Team is sharing projects this year. The team has been divided into three groups, and each group is assigned a different collection of products to create with. This means an even greater variety of projects and inspiration. And…instead of the monthly blog hops, the team will have a greater presence on the Stampin’ Up! Corporate Facebook Page and their Instagram account as well.

Be sure check out the rest of the team’s fabulous creations on the Stampin’ Up! Corporate Facebook Page at : https://www.facebook.com/stampinup

06.13.21…..Happy Monday, everyone! Today, I thought it would be fun to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) a card that I just created for my last post. For today’s card, I kept it in the same color family, but mixed up the shades and the elements a bit. Hope this inspires you to CASE one of your favorite cards or projects!

06.10.21…..Happy Thursday, everyone! I just can seem to get enough of the new Artistically Inked Bundle (Artistically Inked Stamp Set + Artistic Dies)! The stamp set is gorgeous, but the dies are just amazing! I had also been wanting to use Rose Gold 6″ x 6″ Metallic Speciality Paper on a project, so I thought the leaves die would be perfect for that!

06.09.21…..Happy Wednesday, my stampin’ friends! I just love the new Expressions in Ink Suite with the bright, vibrant colors, and of course…the Artisically Inked Bundle that is part of that suite. But, today…I thought it would be fun to use that stamp set with an unexpected color combo…Poppy Parade, Misty Moonlight, and Soft Succulent! I hope this card inspires you to create a card or project with a fun, new color combo!

05.30.21…..Happy Sunday, everyone! I’m obsessed with so many of the new Designer Series Paper collections in the new Stampin’ Up! 2021-2022 Annual Catalog, and one of my favorites is the Hand-Penned DSP! So…I decided to use little snippets of it to create the little flags for the banner on this card. I hope this card inspires you to use some of the gorgeous, new DSP on your projects, too!

05.27.2021…..Happy Thursday, everyone! Today, I wanted to share a card that I created for a recent Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It was a “Manly May” Challenge, so the team members created projects with a masculine look or style.

I grew up in So Cal, spending my summer days at the beach whenever possible, and my inspiration for this card is from a “surfer vibe” graphic t-shirt. Hope this card inspires to create a card or project for that special “dude” in your life!

The Stampin’ Fancy Friday members are group of past and continuing Stampin’ Up! Artisans bringing our followers a fancy monthly challenge to inspire them to get creative!
