Some Paper Pumpkin Alternative Fun ... December 2025 Kit!

Have you played with your Stampin' Up! December Paper Pumpkin Kit yet?!  It was called Watercolor In Bloom and it is a stunning kit! The cards are fun to make AND it has a fun stamp set you can keep using!  So today I am sharing a fun card that I made with the stamp set, the coordinating Paper Pumpkin Abundant Joy Dies, pieces from the kit, and some other Stampin' Up! products! 

That vellum background piece is from the kit, and the stamp was stamped & embossed with the "Thank You" from the kit as well.  The Pretty Florals Dies are the perfect element to add to this card! 

I hope you enjoy this card!  Let me know if you have any questions!  Thank you so much for visiting!

NEW Artisans Coming SOON!!! Surprise CASE Hop With the Artisans!

We, the 2025 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team, want to give A 🙌 HUGE WELCOME to the ☆ NEW ☆ 2026 Stampin' Up! ARTISAN TEAM! So it is with great honor that we introduce you to this fabulous team by CASEing them!  (This means Copy And Share Everything ... aka ... use a project of someone to inspire you to make something!) So hop along with us to see which NEW Artisan was CASEd by each 2025 Artisan!

Today I am CASEing the UBER talented, Tammy Wilson !  She is so talented, so make sure you check her out if you haven't before!  I am sharing the card I made first, then I will show the card that I CASE'd of Tammy's!  And a little tidbit - since I am CASE'ing a NEW Artisan, I decided to use a NEW upcoming stamp set.  So you get an Artisan sneak peek AND a stamp set sneak peak!  Hee.  The stamp set I am using for this card is A Round of Hellos and will be an Online Exclusive coming out in January! 

Below is the card of Tammy's that I CASE'd!  I loved the colors and that embossed circle card front with the flowers overlapping it.  How pretty is this card?! 

I want to share a few tips to making this card.  Again, I used the Round of Hellos Stamp Set from the upcoming Jan Online Exclusive release from Stampin' Up!  I also used the Swirled Designs Dies for that fun floral die-cut.  But let me show you how I did the stamped background below the circles as you can see here: 

Hopefully this photo helps explain how I created the background.  The half circle striped image is from the stamp set.  Then I used a Blending Brush to add some color.  Then splattered some Pecan Pie ink over it all.  Layer the punched circle over that piece, using dimensionals, and add your stamped and cut out florals! 

Here are just a few more shots of the details of the card: 

And one more shot of the whole card: 

I hope you enjoy this card.  And believe me, again, check out Tammy's work if you haven't!  She is SOOOO incredibly talented!  The most difficult part of doing this was choosing one of her cards to CASE.  So THANK YOU, Tammy, for being such a creative inspiration!   You are AMAZING!!! 

Now ... there is SO MUCH MORE inspiration to be had!  So come follow along our full hop!  The best place to see it all is on Instagram, so go make sure to check that out!

Cake Days Bundle With Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team!

Well here we are ... the LAST Stampin' Up! 2025 Artisan Design Team Group 4 Hop! 😱😲 How did this year go so fast?!  It has been an absolute joy and pleasure to share the fun creativity we have shared all year!  Obviously ... the sharing will still continue.  But this will be the last hop we do as 2025 Group 4 Artisans.  😭 Thank you for all the love & support all. year long!  And I am so excited to share what we did this month!  So let's get started!  The hop is over on Instagram, so follow me @designwithink and hop along to see everyone's projects!  But I am also sharing mine here! 

This bundle is a blast! And we have so much versatility to share with this bundle!  Let me share some details of my projects with you!  Starting with the cake tag box! 

I really love that star detail on top.  And it's so easy to make!  A major bonus is that the Cake Day Dies come with THREE of the star dies!  So you can cut 3 out at a time!  Then just adding the Gold Foil Sheet behind the stars add such a fun element! 💖

The tag these Cake Day Dies make is sooooo cute and you can jazz it up in so many ways! 

And this box I just made with Thick Basic White Cardstock.  It's just a simple box you can easily and quickly make.  I wanted the box size to be about 5" x 5".  So I just added 1" for each side ... so a 7" x 7" piece of cardstock.  Score all 4 sides 1" in.  Cut for tabs, and adhere together.  Then for the bottom of the box, just score at like 1 1/8" ... just to make the bottom a titch smaller for the lid to fit on.  Easy breezy! 

Now time to see the fun macaron card!  I love this one and thanks to the mastermind that created these dies ... they are so fun and easy to make! 

Check out this photo to see how easy the macarons are made!  And also seeing that fun "scallop" border made with the frosting stamp and die! 

This card was a blast to make with the fun colors and everything. Would be fun for any celebration!  The colors:  Pool Party card base, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana, and Peach Pie for the macarons.  Scallop frosting is Coastal Cabana.  Crumb Cake is the banner.  💖  Shout out to the Gold Shaker Stars because these come in handy for so many things!  And how PRECIOUS are they?!  I LOVE them! 

Hope you enjoy these projects! I had so much fun making them!  And now it is time to check out all the projects from the other Artisan Design Team Members that are sharing today to get even more ideas!  😍  You do NOT want to miss what everyone has in store for you!  You will be amazed at how versatile this Stampin' Up! Cake Day Bundle is!

It's A Card Set & Box Remake! This time ... Delicate Pines! ♡

A few months ago I posted a Stampin' Up! Artisan Extra Project that I had made ... A Charming Day Card Set.  Well ... shortly after that, I created a project for a demonstrator event that Stampin' Up! was doing.  I thought a fun idea would be to do a remake of that Charming Day set!  This time I used the Delicate Pines Bundle though; which is part of the Elegant Pine Snowflake Suite.  I didn't go with the colors of the suite.  I wanted to do it a bit more "Ashley-fied" with a bright winter.  Ha.  So the colors I went with are:  Petunia Pop, Coastal Cabana, Basic Beige, & Basic White.  I'm sharing lots of photos, tips& tricks, and the template to the box!  So let's get started!

All supplies used are from Stampin' Up!  

First up ... the box!  I have to admit ... months later ... I am still in love with this whole project!  And it all starts with this box!  A little fun fact ... I used the Iridescent Treat Bags in quite a few places.  Can you see where it's used here!? 

In case you didn't see it, here's a better shot!  Can you see it under the greeting?! 😍 I LOVE these bags! They add such a fun sheen, shimmer, fanciness!  

There is a belly band that wraps around it and keeps it closed.  You don't have to untie the bow or anything, you just slide off the belly band!  Also ... when I make a belly band, I bring the ends together usually on the front of the project.  Because that's where I add a focal point that can cover up the seam.  So ... that's what I did here!  So the back of the band is seamless ... which makes the whole band look seamless! 

The fun is continuing!  Are you ready?! 😆  Just slide that band off and then you can start to see what's inside! 

I will show you the cards inside then I will share a few tips on making them.  So the first card there that is peeking out is this one ... 

Yes ... if you noticed ... the center of that snowflake is die-cut from the Iridescent Treat Bag.  More on this below. 

The second card continues on with the Iridescent Treat Bag fun ...

And then the third and final card in the set ... MAYBE my fave one ... but that's hard to pick ... is a SHAKER card!  Yes ... using the Iridescent Treat Bags!  I just added some embossed cardstock to the inside of the bag to the size I wanted it (4" x 5 1/4"), added the Gold Shaker Stars filler, folded the bag over towards the back and taped it down to the back.  Then decorated!  Easy, breezy, super fun!!! shaker card! 

I had SOOOOOOO much fun making these cards!  Let me show you a shot of the full project.  Then I will share a few tips with you! 

Fun and cheery, right?!  Now onto the card box template and some tips! 

So what do you think?!  Want to make one?!  I hope so!  😃  Let me know if you have any questions or need help with anything!  Would love to help you with your papercrafting needs and get any Stampin' Up! supplies!
