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!

Sunflower Embossing Folder & Watercolour Pencil

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

When you shop Online you will receive a Free Gift, Tutorial and a Handmade card from me.

Have a wonderful day! Happy Crafting

    Really like your pink sunflower card honoring Breast Cancer Awareness. The design, use of color and composition of your card is very attractive. I’ve been following your blog for many years and like your designs and your tutorials. Thank you for sharing. You provide much inspiration for me.
