The Wonderful World Designer Paper is gorgeous, so I wanted to give you an eyeful of it! It’s also a FREE Sale-a-bration item, along with a matching stamp set, available now with a qualifying order.
Sale-a-bration is July 1-August 31, but products are only available as long as supplies last. This could be one that will sellout quickly, so if you love it, don’t delay ordering.
Wonderful World Flowers
Normally, I use my Paper Snips for fussy cutting, but today I used a Scan N’ Cut to cut the beautiful, pink flowers from the Wonderful World Designer Paper. It did a good job on the flowers you see, but it chopped into pieces three bunches of white flowers not shown. I don’t use the Scan N’ Cut often, because of its unpredictability, and I prefer cutting by hand.
The flowers and leaves are attached with 12 Dimensionals, an extra amount for durability, because designer paper is thinner than cardstock.
Beneath the large flowers is a mini print of Wonderful World DSP, 5 1/8″ X 2 1/8″, layered on Blushing Bride Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 2 1/4″. This is glued to Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″, embossed with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder.
The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “just for you” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Pear Pizzazz Ink, used its Sentiments Silhouettes Die for cutting, and attached it with a Dimensional (only one,LOL).
Finally, one more green, leafy, print of Wonderful World DSP was used for photography.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Challenges are so much fun, and I really enjoyed coming up with something for this bi-weekly Fusion challenge.
I found a rose in the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set, stamped it in Sweet Sorbet Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used its Blossoming happiness Die for cutting. Then, I colored it with Light and Dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends, and placed it on Dimensionals.
Red Rose
The circle was cut from Basic White Cardstock with the largest Layering Circles Die. After cutting, I used a Blending Brush to color it with Pool Party Ink and Starry Sky Ink.
Next, I used a Forever Flourishing Die to cut the branch from 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper.
To complete the design, I cut a 1″ X 4 1/4″ strip of Basic White Cardstock, and glued it along the bottom of the circle, after stamping the sentiment in Starry Sky Ink. “Happy birthday” is from the Happiness Abounds Stamp Set.
After gluing the circle and sentiment to Starry Sky Cardstock, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, I used the largest Stitched Rectangles Die for cutting. Then, I glued this to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Finally, I glued the branch in place, attached the rose, and added three Iridescent Rhinestones. Fun, fun, fun!

You’ve been seeing sneak peeks of some of my favorite products, and I will go back to add links of the products to my store for easy shopping. Today’s card features my favorite, Kindest Gnomes.
Gnomes hang out in gardens, and the Awash In Beauty Designer Paper provided the perfect garden for this Kindest Gnome.
I began by cutting a 4″ X 5 1/4″ section from a 12″ X 12″ piece of Awash In Beauty DSP to glue on a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I cut a 3/4″ piece from the bottom, layered it for thickness, and raised it on Dimensionals. This made a nice place for the gnome to stand.
Garden Gnome
The gnome was easy to create, using four of the Gnomes Dies. The beard was cut from Basic White Cardstock, the pants/shoes from Balmy Blue Cardstock, the nose and hat from Awash In Beauty Designer Paper.
This adorable gnome is saying, “I’m here for you.” The sentiment is from the Through It Together Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, cut with a Stylish Shapes Die, and attached with Dimensionals.

Summer is definitely here, making me think of the beach and ocean waves. And, the Waves Of Inspiration Stamp Set is great for masculine birthday cards.
Glimmer Waves
I began today’s masculine, birthday card, by stamping the wave in Starry Sky Ink on Vellum Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 2 1/2″.
While letting the stamped wave dry, I prepared the background. The card base is Starry Sky Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with Tahitian Tide Cardstock, 4 7/8″ X 3 7/8″, topped with 2022-2024 In Color 6″ X 6″ Glimmer Paper, 4 3/4″ X 3 3/4″. After the wave dried, I attached it to the Glimmer Paper by adding glue to the of the darkest places in the wave.
“Happy birthday” is from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set, stamped in Starry Sky Ink on Tahitian Tide Cardstock, cut with a Sending Die, and attached with Mini Dimensionals.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.

Sale-a-bration is coming July 1st, and Rings of Love Designer Paper is one of the FREE items you can choose with a qualifying order. This sweet home is one of the patterns in pack, which I cut with a Stylish Shapes Die. Then, I backed it with Soft Succulent Cardstock, cut with a Stylish Shapes Die that was one size larger, and placed it on Dimensionals.
Doesn’t it make a nice “new home” card?
New Home Card
For the background, I began with a Soft Succulent card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was layered with a new designer paper from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog, Gingham Cottage, trimmed to fit the size of the trellis. It’s a huge pack of paper, 48 sheets, in a variety of colors. The trellis was cut from Mint Macaron Cardstock with an Organic Beauty Die, which is available now.
While I was gluing things together, I added a bow of Soft Sea Foam Ribbon, also in the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog.
“Wishing you everything wonderful” is from the Charming Sentiments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Soft Succulent Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and used its Sentiment Silhouettes Die for cutting. I chose this as something nice to say to someone moving to a new home.
I was inspired by TGIF.

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun, color challenge, using Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, and Daffodil Delight. You only have to wait four more days to order the Splendid Thoughts Bundle, and I wanted to give you a sneak peek in this color combo, unlike its coordinating designer paper.
I began by stamping two of the plants, and a bee, from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set, in Parakeet Party Ink and Daffodil Delight Ink. The stamp set has “two-step” stamping, which I used for coloring; intentionally not matching the outlines for an artistic look. Then, I used three Splendid Stems Dies to cut the plants, and the bee, which match the outlines.
Splendid Thoughts Sneak Peek #1
Next, I used three Splendid Stems Dies to cut plants that are “open” from three colors of cardstock: Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight and Basic White.
The bowl is another Splendid Stems Die, cut from Basic White Cardstock that I stamped in Tahitian Tide Ink with a splotch stamp from the Artistically Inked Stamp Set. Prior to attaching it with Dimensionals, I stamped it in Memento Black Ink with a sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set, “today is a day to remember.”
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4′ X 5 1/4″, given a border with the second largest Stitched with Whimsy Die. This was glued to a Tahitian Tide card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
I just love this bundle, and can’t wait to continue making cards with it!
