Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper was combined with the new “online exclusives” for today’s card. You can see all of the “online exclusives” by clicking on my “shop” button below.
I began with Radiating Stitches Dies (online exclusives) to cut three large circles, and three small circles, from three colors of cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, and Mango Melody. After cutting, I layered them on Dimensionals.
Next, I fussy cut three flowers from Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper, and attached them with Dimensionals.
Perfectly Radiating
The background is my favorite pattern of Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper, 3 7/8″ X 5 1/8″. It is layered on Basic Black Cardstock, 4” X 5 1/4,” glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2” X 5 1/2”, folded at 4 1/4”.
I just saw that Perfectly Penciled Designer Paper is on the “low inventory” list, so if it’s on your “want list,” don’t delay.
The sentiment, “thanks so much,” is from the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. After stamping, I used a Radiating Stitches Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals. Isn’t the font in the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set fantastic?
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

I just received my delivery of “online exclusives,” and I’m having so much fun creating with them!
Today’s card uses the Radiating Stitches Dies, a Basics 3D Embossing Folder, and the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set. You can see the entire list of “online exclusives” by clicking on my “shop” button below.
Stitches and Dots
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2” X 5 1/2”, folded at 4 1/4”, layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4” X 5 1/4”. After cutting, I attached the layer with Dimensionals.
Now for the fun part! I cut Basic White Cardstock with a Radiating Stitches Die, 2 5/8” X 4”, and embossed it with one of the new, Basics 3D Embossing Folders, giving it big, puffy dots.
After embossing, I layered it on Granny Apple Green Cardstock, 1/8” larger. Then, I glued them together, and attached it to the card front with Dimensionals.
Next, I used Blending Brushes to add three colors of ink to Basic White Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, and Tahitian Tide. Then, I used a Radiating Stitches Die to cut three hearts, and attached them with Dimensionals.
”XOXO” is from the Tropical Leaf Stamp Set, stamped in Tahitian Tide Ink.
Don’t you love the new products?
I was inspired by The Paper Players.

The Waves Of Inspiration Stamp Set and Waves Dies make great masculine birthday cards. The wave looks pretty stamped in all shades of green and blue, and I chose Coastal Cabana for today’s card. After stamping the wave on Very Vanilla Cardstock, I used the largest Deckled Rectangles Die for cutting.
Waves of Inspiration
Next, I stamped the pelican in Crumb Cake Ink, used its Waves Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals. The two clouds were cut from Very Vanilla Cardstock, along with extra pieces for added dimension, and placed on Dimensionals. To complete the scene, the seagulls were cut from Coastal Cabana Cardstock, and glued flat.
“Happy Birthday” was stamped in Crumb Cake Ink, cut with a Waves Die, and placed on Dimensionals. The open ends called for Linen Thread, which I taped to the back, before gluing the layer to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun color challenge, using Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, and Coastal Cabana.
I began with a Thick Very Vanilla card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with Very Vanilla Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Before gluing the layer, I embossed it with the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder.
Framed Flowers
Next, I stamped the flowers from the Fragrant Flowers Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock, and used a Fragrant Flowers Die for cutting. I cheated a bit with the leaves, because I used a Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend for coloring, since I didn’t have Coastal Cabana.
To add interest, I used a Fabulous Frames Die to cut a frame from Crumb Cake Cardstock. After placing the flowers on top of the frame, I attached both to the card front with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “friend,” is from the Fragrant Flowers Stamp Set. I stamped it in Mint Macaron Ink (sticking with the color), used a Fragrant Flowers Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
See how our designers used the colors, then create a design to hang in our gallery.
Come back Wednesday, 3/15, to see how I used the colors in a completely different way.

The Poppy Moments Dies have been a favorite from the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog, and ones I will “always remember.” For today’s card, the poppies were created with Fancy Flora Designer Paper, cut with a “detail” Poppy Moments Die, backed with Vellum Layering Designs, cut with a “frame” Poppy Moments Die. After gluing them together at the centers, I placed the flowers on Dimensionals.
“Always Remember”
The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with Basic White Cardstock, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. Next, I cut two groups of leaves from Thick Basic White Cardstock, using two Poppy Moments Dies. See why I love these dies?
The sentiment, “always remember” is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, cut with a Floral Gallery Die, and attached with Dimensionals.

I’m having so much fun with the new, “online exclusive” Irresistible Blooms Bundle. For today’s card, I combined it with two additional die sets.
Butterfly wishes for you
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. It was layered with Hello Irresistible Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Doesn’t it look like a cloudy sky? Then I used the long, Irresistible Blooms Die to cut another piece of Hello Irresistible Blooms DSP, and glued it in place. This takes some patience, because it’s a delicate die, but it’s worth it!
Next, I used two of the small butterfly dies from the Brilliant Wings Die Set to cut from yellow and pink portions of Hello Irresistible Designer Paper. After cutting, I attached them with Mini Dimensionals, and added Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins.
The words, “For you,” were cut with Love For You Dies from Thick Basic White Cardstock, including the backing, cut from Hello Irresistible Designer Paper.
