Stampin’ Up! WE CRAFT IN PINK INSTAHOP

17 October 2025
6 Comments

17 Oct

Hello lovely Crafty friends,

Unofficial Artisan Design Team – October Pink Inspiration 💕

October is a month that always reminds us of hope, strength, and love – it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the perfect time to create something from the heart using shades of pink.

For this month’s Unofficial Artisan Design Team project, I wanted to make something soft yet vibrant to celebrate all the amazing women who inspire us every day. I pulled out one of my past favourites — the retired Watercolour Kit – and gave it a fresh twist with some inky pinks and florals.

I watercoloured the flowers using Flirty Flamingo and Berry Burst – such a cheerful combination that perfectly captures the warmth and spirit of the month. For the leaves, I used a beautiful blend of Soft Sea Foam and Granny Apple Green, keeping the tones light so the pinks could shine.

I love how the pink shades bring out such positivity and gentleness, a simple reminder that even small acts of creativity can spread joy and hope. 💗

Let’s take a moment this October to craft with purpose make a card, send a note, or share a hug through handmade love. Because a single handmade card can mean the world to someone who needs a little encouragement.

  • Base card Pretty In Pink, Added another layer of Pretty in Pink which I distressed the edge and sponged the card using Melon Mambo attached using Dimensional.
  • Splatter some Melon Mambo Ink to the background of the card.
  • I used the sunflower embossing folder and sponged them with the Berry Burst colour then fussy cut them, added few pieces behind the main focal image to add the dark shade.
  • Added the colour Crumb Cake to the leaves!
  • Attached the main image using Stampin’ Dimensional!

  • Decorate the inside of the card using the fussy cut flowers with the Basic Black scrap piece of paper.

Have a wonderful day! Happy Crafting

Hello lovely crafty friends, It’s time for anothe Hello lovely crafty friends,

It’s time for another Hop Abroad Insta Hop! 
This month our theme is Fall / Thank You Cards, and for my card I wanted to play with warm colours, lots of layers and a little bit of texture.
I really enjoy making cards like this, where you can keep looking and notice all the little details. I added the embossed background, foliage, ribbon and a few embellishments to give the card some dimension.

For my project, I decided to create an Autumn-insp For my project, I decided to create an Autumn-inspired card with a vintage feel. I wanted the card to have those warm, gentle colours that remind me of Autumn, while keeping the overall design soft and elegant.
I also added some delicate flowers to the design. I love how flowers can bring a little softness to a vintage-style card, and they worked beautifully with the Autumn colours.
I had so much fun putting all the little details together — choosing the colours, layering the elements and adding those finishing touches that make a card feel special.
