I began today’s card by stamping the leaves (Mossy Meadow Ink) and pompegranate blossom (Poppy Parade Ink) on basic White Cardsrock. Then, I used a 1 3/4″ circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies Set for cutting. I needed a sentiment for the third circle, which I found in the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set. I stamped “may good things grow all year long” in Memento Black Ink, grateful how it fit within the circle.
Pomegranate Blossom
For the background, I used an Organic Beauty Die to cut a trellis from Thick Basic White Cardstock. After gluing the trellis to a Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″) I attached the circles with Dimensionals; the sentiment first, and tucked the leaves and blossom beneath it.
I decided that my very simple card needed a little embellishment, and used three Iridescent Rhinestones. These are great, because they can be any color you want them to be, and they come in three sizes!
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Today’s card began with the idea of framing one of the beautiful sentiments from the Hope & Peace Stamp Set. I stamped “Tidings of comfort and joy” in Evening Evergreen Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the oval, Fabulous Frames Die for cutting, and a second time to cut a frame from Soft Succulent Cardstock. After layering both pieces for thickness, I attached Dimensionals on the back to hold the framed words together, as well as raise it on the card front.
Christmas Music
The card base is Evening Evergreen Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Prior to gluing the white layer, I embossed it with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder. This embossing folder is especially appropriate, because we’ve been told it’s the music to “Joy to the World.”
The pretty red and green print is Painted Christmas Designer Paper, 2″ X 4 1/2″, layered on Evening Evergreen cut 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border. For a bit of detail, I added a Real Red Cardstock bow, cut with a Decorated Pine Die, and an Iridescent Pearl to complete it.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.

I haven’t used the Seaside Seashell set lately, and I’d forgotten how amazing it is! The large die-cut in Basic White Cardstock fills the entire card front.
I recently discovered that the internet has a design theme trending called “Coastal Grandma,” and today’s card fits right in. Just google it, and you’ll see what I mean.
“Coastal Grandma” Seashells
The super cool thing about these shells is that they have an embossing folder that covers the entire die-cut, and embosses them in one pass through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Isn’t the texture great?
The pink behind the shells is Awash In Beauty Designer Paper, cut with the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die. This is layered on a Sahara Sand card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
To complete the card, I stamped the sentiment and the starfish, from the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set. “Love you to the beach and back” was stamped in Early Espresso Ink, and cut with two Deckled Rectangles Dies, in order to make it the smaller size. The starfish was stamped in Sahara Sand Ink, cut with its Seaside Seashells Die, and both were attached with Dimensionals. For some sparkle, I added a few Opal Rounds.
If you have yet to order this returning favorite, the Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set is on the “low inventory” list; just a warning.
I’m sharing today’s card with the Fusion challenge.

The Decorated With Happiness Bundle is a fun, holiday bundle, with lots of possibilities. I love the pine branch that I stamped in Garden Green, and added color with stamped Soft Sea Foam Ink. Then, I used its Decorated Pines Die for cutting.
Single Ornament
Next, I stamped the ornament in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used Light and Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blends for coloring, and its Decorated Pines Die for cutting.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die, and embossed with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder. This was layered on Gingham Cottage Designer Paper, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die, and both were layered on a Garden Green card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Christmas Greetings” is from the Decorated With Happiness Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and cut with the Double Oval Punch. Then, I used the same punch to cut the scalloped oval from Regals 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper in Garden Green. After punching, I attached the sentiment with Dimensionals, and glued it in place.
The last detail was adding three Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the ornament.

Welcome to Global Design Project’s color challenge, using Soft Sea Foam, Bermuda Bay, and Blackberry Bliss. I designed a card using two bundles: Cup Of Tea (2022 July-December Mini Catalog) and Honeybee Home (2022-2023 Annual Catalog). The stamp sets and dies can be purchased separately, but you’ll save 10% by ordering the bundles.
Honeybee Tea
I began by using a Tea Cup Die to cut three cups from Basic White Cardstock. Thinking of filling the cups with Honey Tea, I decorated the cups with honeybees from the Honeybee Home Stamp Set. Blackberry Bliss Ink was used to stamp the bees, as well as brushing around the edges with a Sponge Dauber.
The tea bag was made with a Tea Cup Die and Basic White Cardstock. I stamped the outline and sentiment, “It’s Time for tea,” in Bermuda Bay Ink; both from the Cup Of Tea Stamp Set. The tea bag was attached with Linen Thread and Dimensionals.
The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 51/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with Brights 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. I used the second largest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut the Basic White layer, which I embossed with the Hive Embossing Folder.
After filling the cups with Soft Sea Foam cuttings from Honeybee Blooms Dies, I attached the cups with Dimensionals, and my honeybee tea party was ready to begin.

The ornaments are so pretty in the Decorated Pine Dies Set, and I thought they’d look great in Gold Foil. I planned to use Soft Succulent for the card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Gold “fancy” ornaments
I love pink and green together, so used Blushing Bride Cardstock for the ribbons at the top of the ornaments.
For the background, I used the largest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut three rectangles from a second piece of Basic White Cardstock, making a mask. After taping the two together, I used a Blending Brush with Pool Party Ink to color the “holes.”
Before gluing the ornaments in place, I stamped “Christmas Greetings” in soft Succulent Ink. This is one of the three holidays sentiments in the Decorated With Happiness Stamp Set.
Finally, I added For Everything Fancy Sequins to complete my card.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
