Hello friends, it's time for our Artisan Design Team Group 3 InstaHop for October 2026. Our group's assignment was to create projects with Stampin' Up! Hearth & Home Arches Bundle of stamps and dies, AND the Hearth & Home Designer Series Paper (DSP).

My project details: I made a shadow tunnel box card - it stands up and intentionally backed with vellum so you can put a tea light behind it. I thought it would make a cute home decoration. There were two nesting arch dies in the die set, but I needed a third size. If only I have the Everyday Arches dies....but then I had a brainwave. The Twinkling Tidings Hot Foil Dies (170584) also has an arch die! Once the structure (the shadow tunnel box) was made with cardstock (I used Fresh Freesia and Pretty Peacock), then all that needs to be done is decorating. The flowers and leaves were fussy cut out from the Hearth & Home Designer Series Paper.

Hop on for more Hearth & Home Arches inspiration!

I used the Alcohol Background Technique to create fun backdrops for my Pretty Poinsettia blooms. Here’s a fun reel to inspire you to try or re-visit this technique.
(All products, except the isopropyl alcohol, are from @stampinupofficial )

It's time for colour challenge #ci219 over @colourinkspirationchallenges !
The colours are of a fresh vibe and include Crushed Curry, Azure Afternoon, Lost Lagoon and Crumb Cake. You can also use the allowable colours and they are Basic White, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Basic Beige and Very Vanilla. We also allow metallics and neutrals in the Stampin’ Blends.

My card is a bit of a fun one - playing with alcohol blended background. Just to clarify, the alcohol used ain't for consumption - it's isopropyl alcohol and it is one that is 99.97% concentration!!! And of course, blues and yellows make green - it's the only reason why this card is allowed to be showcased in this challenge 😁😘 I am also going out on a limb here, using the poinsettia and making it a Christmas card. It's because I am in the South Pacific, and it's summer here for Christmas. No snow here for Christmas, so thought this might appeal to some of my South Pacific audience xx

Product used are all from @stampinupofficial

Hope you’ll join us in this colour challenge. Entries close on Monday 5pm (AEST) 26th October. More details to join are on the Colour INKspiration instagram page link in bio.

Hey friends, I am excited to share with you two fabulous alternate Paper Pumpkin Aspens of Gratitude cards!

One Kit. Endless Possibilities.

Creative inspiration from the 2026 Stampin’ Up!® Artisan Design Team.
Welcome to our InstaHop this month featuring September 2026 Paper Pumpkin | Aspens of Gratitude. We hope these alternate projects inspire you to look at Paper Pumpkin kits with fresh eyes - you are not limited to the pre-designed cards!

About My Project:
Both my alternate cards for this post are simple makes to further the dreamy-ness of the printed designs. For the first card, I simply added a piece of vellum over the card front to aptly convey the sentiment "you're in my thoughts." For my second card, I reimagined the grove of aspens by the lake by using ink blending technique and reflection technique.

If you’re a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, be sure to check for refill kits and coordinating add-on products when they’re available. They’re the perfect way to extend your creativity while supplies last! If you’re not already a subscriber and would like to learn more about Paper Pumpkin, I’d love to help. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Thank you for hopping along with us. Up next is Andrea Sargent - @andreaksargent
Be sure to visit each designer for even more creative inspiration!

Did you miss my last Facebook Live video? You can watch the replay anytime on YouTube. Subscribe to my channel and you will always be notified when I upload new content.

Place a product order of $50 or more with me by Tuesday 6th October, and I will get the Creative Celebrations Class To Go Kit mailed out to you as a thank you gift. I love to spoil ya! This kit will make a card and 3 tags as per the video, but you will have enough left over from the DSP sheets given to be used with your paper stash to make at least another 10 tags (or small 3"x4" focal points which you can then use on a standard size card).

Comments are always appreciated and please feel free to share any of my videos too.

This week’s craft-along NEW Tutorial is now uploaded on YouTube. You can also watch the replay of this LIVE video right here on my Facebook page for the next 30 days.
It isn't surprising that the Sunflower Fields Suite from Stampin' Up!® is tremendously popular. I thought a Pop Up Box in a Card will showcase the Suite perfectly. I also made a custom envelope for this card (card measurement 5" x 5-3/4"). It is easy enough to change the card size to fit in our standard c6 envelopes though. Just let me know if you want the directions to do that. Otherwise, go on, make custom envelopes with the 12"x12" pattern paper already in your stash 🥰
Place a product order of $50 or more with me by Tuesday 29th September, and I will get the kits mailed out to you as a thank you gift. I love to spoil ya!
