Artisan Design Team – A Fond Farewell

As the Artisan Design Team wraps up their assignments for 2022, the entire team is looking back to reflect on an amazing year and picking our favorite projects. I’m so incredibly grateful to Stampin’ Up! for the opportunity to serve on the Artisan Design Team these past two years. It has been the experience of a lifetime and I have cherished every moment, especially all the amazing crafty friends I’ve made.

It’s hard to choose a favorite project, because there were so many! We had monthly assignments focusing on suites or bundles, corporate posts, tips and techniques, out-of-publication assignments focusing on limited-time offers, and even presentations focusing on new, upcoming products.

After narrowing it down, I had a couple favorites:

1. Waves of the Ocean– I was absolutely thrilled when I was assigned this limited-time collection of stamps, dies, designer series paper, and jewels!!! As a water lover, the colors and designs totally spoke to me. It’s so easy to design projects when you’re in love with the products.

While the scrapbook page above was a personal favorite of mine, I think the card below won the popularity contest.

2. Sweet Citrus Bundle — I felt a whole range of emotions (honored, excited, and nervous) when I was asked to pre-record a presentation for this year’s OnStage using the upcoming Sweet Citrus Bundle. At first, I had no ideas at all. But the more I worked with the bundle, the more my creativity flowed. My coconut card was my number one favorite for the whole year.
