Where I live we are easing into the beautiful fall season. Sunflowers seemed like the perfect choice for an autumnal themed seasonal card for our Piccadilli Players hop. I've used a mix of Luxe Foliage Specialty Paper, Lucious Leaves Hot Foil Dies, Early Espresso Jute, and Autumn Wonderland Glimmer Paper. The many layers and colors to me reflect the feel of fall.

Be sure to hop over to Verena to see what seasonal themed stamping she has been up to lately.

Welcome to the October Global Ink Collective Design Team InstaHop!

We're a group of current and past Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team members sharing creative inspiration each month using Stampin' Up! products. This month we're featuring the gorgeous Neutral Noel Suite Collection!

The Neutral Noel Suite Collection combines timeless Christmas imagery with an elegant neutral palette and beautifully coordinated products. Whether you're creating cards, scrapbook layouts, gift packaging, or home décor, this suite makes it easy to add natural texture, warmth, and understated holiday charm to every project.

My Project is totally opposite of what I would normally do. I used the Neutral Noel Specialty Paper, which is printed on one side only, as my card base. That's not too unusual, but I flipped the white side to the outside to highlight the pressed quality of the paper. In person it's so fancy looking.

I hope my project inspires you to create something beautiful with this stunning suite!

Here's a melange of products arranged for a textural fall themed card. I used the Luxe Foliage Paper, Noel Tidings Dies, the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle, the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies, and the Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil Dies. I find it fun to sometimes use lots of products that coordinate beautifully. How about you? Do you like to combine products?

Welcome to the September Global Ink Collective Design Team InstaHop!

We're a group of current and past Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team members sharing creative inspiration each month using Stampin' Up! products. This month we're featuring the gorgeous Painted Pumpkin Suite Collection!

The Painted Pumpkin Suite Collection is filled with beautiful autumn imagery, artistic pumpkin designs, and perfectly coordinated products that make seasonal creating effortless. Whether you're crafting cards, scrapbook layouts, gift packaging, or home décor, this suite offers endless possibilities for celebrating fall with layers of texture, rich color, and hand-painted charm.

My project is a peekaboo fun fold. What's great about this fold is it's incredibly impressive yet so easy. When you open the card the "hey" greeting swaps out for "hello gourd-genus." I hope this sneak peek has you intrigued to want to see lots more.

Have you had a chance to ink up the Extraordinary Life Stamp Set or die cut some of the fabulous pieces from the Extraordinary Life Dies? This bundle is fabulously charming and super versatile.

I included a couple greetings from the Sincerely Noted Ephemera Pack to complete my "just a note, thank you" card. The Pack coordinates perfectly with the Beautiful Life Papers and gives lots and lots of possibilities.

I must say that black and white Artisan Sketched Designer Series Paper combined with Hydrangea Hue and Lemon-Lime Twist is a fabulous and striking mix of color. I've used this palette for these charming vases. All of the floral and greenery stems come from the Garden Gatherings Stamp Set and Dies. Be sure to swipe and see the inside of this Easy Slider Fun Fold Card. It's an impressive look for not too much effort.

Our team of stampers at The Stamping Station are hopping today and sharing projects that have been personalized. The official theme is "Make it Personal" so I decided to make a stair stepped card for my mom.

The Extraordinary Life Bundle has been sitting on my stamp desk and was calling out to be to ink it up and die cut bits and pieces--so I did. I accented the "steps" and background of my card with the Beautiful Life DSP. My favorite element is the "k" which I die cut from the Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper and then blended with Pool Party Ink.

Next up in today's Instagram Hop is Tami . She is one stampin' superstar and she has something fabulous to see!
