May’s assignment for the 2024 Artisan Design Team was to create projects using the Wildy Flowering Suite Collection.
Wildflower Designs
For the first card, I used a Thick Basic White card base, embossed with the Dashing Designs Embossing Folder, which comes in the suite. The folder is my gift for the month of May; see below how you can make it yours.
Next, I used two of the Wildflower Designs Dies to cut Wildly Flowering Designer Paper, which I attached with Dimensionals. I also stamped, and die-cut, two wildflowers and “thank you” from the stamp set. To complete the design, I added Textured Dots, and a bow of Basic Beige Bordered Ribbon that I had fun shredding.
The second card has a Moody Mauve card base, which goes perfectly with the Wildly Flowering Designer Paper. The centerpiece is a die-cut created with three Wild Flower Designs Dies. I stamped the sentiment and texture in Crumb Cake Ink, with Wild Flower Designs stamps.
For embellishment, I added Linen Thread, and three, fussy cut flowers from Wildly Flowering Designer Paper.
For my third project, I used Stampin’ Up’s 6″ X 8″ Memory Keeping Album and Photo Pocket Pages. Did you know that May is National Scrapbook Month? It’s a perfect time to renew a scrapbooking interest, and welcome Close To My Heart members to Stampin’ Up!
The Wildly Flowering Designer Paper and Wildflower Designs Bundle made it fun to add a special touch to my photos. The numbers and letters were cut with Alphabet A La Mode Dies. The sentiment, “My heart will always be tied to yours,” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set.

Lilies are beautiful, springtime flowers, and I chose the Easter Lilies Bundle for my Creative Artisan Project. I’m especially drawn to them now, because Lily is my granddaughter’s name.
Easter Lilies
Easter Lilies Dies were used to cut the flower petals from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I colored the centers with Small Blending Brushes, and two colors of ink: Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green.
The sentiment was stamped in Memento Black Ink on Vellum Cardstock, and cut with a Perennial Postage Die. This allowed the complete, stamped lily to be seen. The palm branch was stamped in Garden Green Ink, colored with Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends, and given a shadow with an additional die-cut from designer paper.
The Mini Alphabet Dies make it easy to personalize a tag. The letters were cut from designer paper, adhered to a Foam Adhesive Sheet for dimension. Perennial Postage Dies were used to create the tag. The Lily buds can be die-cut, but were stamped directly on the tag in my project.
All of the supplies used to create the three projects are in my Product List below.

This month’s assignment for the 2024 Artisan Design Team of Stampin’ Up! was to create projects using the Magnolia Mood Bundle. It’s an Online Exclusive, that I think you’ll want to add to your collection. I created two cards, using the beautiful elements in the suite. Links are in my Product List below, as well as my Online Exclusive store.
Magnolia Mood
The first card has an Early Espresso card base, layered with Basic White Cardstock, embossed with the Timber Embossing Folder. The top layer is Perennial Lavender Designer Paper, cut with the second largest Countryside Corners Die. I backed it with cardstock for thickness, and attached it with Dimensionals.
Prior to attaching the checked piece, I stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso Ink, and several leaves in Mossy Meadow Ink, both from the Magnolia Mood Stamp Set. The magnolias were stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Basic White Cardstock, cut with their Magnolia Mood Die, curled the ends with my bone folder, and glued in place.
The second card has a Thick Basic White card base, layered with patterned, Perennial Lavender Designer Paper. The patterned DSP was cut with a Magnolia Mood Die, and backed with a solid Perennial Lavender DSP. I filled in the “hole” with magnolias, cut with the detailed Magnolia Mood Die.
“Happy Birthday” is from the Magnolia Mood Stamp Set, stamped in Pretty Peacock Ink, cut with a Countryside Corners Die, and attached with Dimensionals. I finished it of with some Pretty Peacock colored leaves and Iridescent Pearls.

The Magnolia Mood Bundle is a favorite, and the one I chose for OnStage swaps with the current Artisan Design Team from the USA. Our photo below includes members from previous years, and I’ve discovered that “once an Artisan, always an Artisan.”
OnStage Artisan Swap
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The first layer is Petal Pink Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. The next layer is Copper Clay Cardstock, cut with the third largest Deckled Rectangles Die, and placed on Dimensionals.
Prior to gluing, and attaching the layers, I embossed the Petal Pink with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder. And, the Copper Clay layer was given spots of Copper Clay Ink with an Irresistible Blooms stamp.
The large, Magnolia Mood Die, was used to cut the flower and leaves from Rose Gold Specialty Paper, and glued in place.
“Let’s spend time together” is from the Warm Welcome Stamp Set, stamped in Copper Clay, and cut with the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die.

Calling all coffee lovers! You’ll love the new products in the A Little Latte Suite Collection. It’s a new Online Exclusive, and you’ll find the links to my store below.
I had fun creating two cards for my monthly, Artisan Design Team Project.
A Little Latte Love
The first card has a Lost Lagoon card base, layered with A Little Latte Designer Paper. I embossed the Basic White Cardstock, top layer, with a Basics 3D Embossing Folder, also in Online Exclusives. Prior to embossing, I stamped the coffee steam and splash beneath the spoon.
Next, I used a Latte Love stamp to stamp the mug on A Little Latte DSP. Then, I used a Latte Love Die for cutting, and placed it on top of a loop of Natural Polka Dot Trim. The cup was filled with a die-cut of Pecan Pie Cardstock.
The spoon and sentiment were stamped in Early Espresso Ink, die-cut, and attached with Dimensionals. And, the final touch was adding three, Adhesive Backed Swirl Dots. Don’t they look delicious?
The second card has a Thick Basic White card base, layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Before gluing, I used my Paper Trimmer to make score lines on the left side and bottom.
Next, I cut four coffee cups from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and colored them Blending Brushes, and ink colors from A Little Latte Designer Paper. You’ll find the ink colors in my Product List below. The circles were stamped in matching colors, with the sentiment circle raised on Dimensionals. I filled the cups with coffee by using a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend.

This month’s assignment for the 2024 Artisan Design Team of Stampin’ Up! was to create projects using the Perennial Lavender Suite. I created two cards, using the beautiful, elements in the suite.
Perennial Lavender Suite
The first card has a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with a frame cut from Perennial Lavender Designer Paper. I used the largest, and third largest Perennial Postage Dies to make the frame, which I attached to the card front with Dimensionals. I made use of the long, “left-over” strips of Dimensionals to give it extra support.
Prior to attaching the frame, I glued a checked pattern of Perennial Lavender DSP to the card front, 3″ X 4 1/2″.
The bouquet was cut with Painted Lavender Dies from four colors of cardstock: Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Shaded Spruce, and Lost Lagoon. After cutting, I tied the stems with Linen Thread, and glued the middle in place, leaving the ends free.
“Thank you for your friendship” is from the Perennial Postage Stamp Set, stamped in Shaded Spruce Ink on Lost Lagoon Cardstock, cut with a Sending Die, and attached with Dimensionals.
The second card has a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, folded at 4 1/4″, making a square card. I used a Perennial Postage Die to cut three squares of Perennial Lavender DSP, and one square of Basic White Cardstock.
Before gluing the four, perforated squares to the card front, I stamped the sentiment on the white square in Gorgeous Grape Ink. “Happy Mother’s Day” is from the Perennial Postage Stamp Set.
Next, I colored a butterfly, from the Paper Butterfly Accents Pack, using Gorgeous Grape Ink and a Blending Brush. After coloring, I glued the body, and lifted the wings of the butterfly for dimension.
The final touch was adding three, Purple Fine Shimmer Gems. Aren’t they pretty?
