When Lily the Ladybug heard about the TGIF color challenge (Night of Navy, Gold, Blushing Bride), she said it was her greatest wish to be made of gold. How could I refuse? If you’d like to vote for Lily’s card, you can click here.
Lily the Ladybug
Lily was easily cut from Gold Foil, using her Ladybug Builder Punch. Then, I stamped her wings in Night Of Navy Ink, and used the same punch for cutting. With a tiny bit of glue at her neck, and Mini Dimensionals to lift her wings, she was complete.
Next, we created her beautiful flowers, using the Medium Daisy Punch and Blushing Bride Cardstock. I punched six rounds of petals, curled the petals with a Bone Folder, and attached two rounds at the center with a Mini Dimensional. Topping each flower at the center is Gold Foil, cut with a Poppy Moments Die, one of my returning favorite sets in the Annual Catalog.
The corner cut-out was made with another Poppy Moments Die, cut from Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Prior to attaching everything, I glued the layer to a Night Of Navy card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This die is shown in the first photo above.
This is Lily’s favorite picture, because you can see her shine. Plus, it highlights the sentiment she chose from her stamp set, and wants your greatest wish to come true. I stamped it in Night of Navy Ink, and used a Potted Succulents Die for cutting. You can see all of our supplies in the Product List below.
We were inspired by TGIF. If you’d like to VOTE for Lily’s card, click here:

Today’s card is clean & simple; a string of hearts, “tied” together with an apropos sentiment.
Hearts Strung Together
“My heart is tied to yours…tug if you need anything” is from the Eden’s Garden Stamp Set, one of my favorites! There’s enough space between the lines in the sentiment that I was able to mask and stamp prior to cutting. I stamped the words on Simply Marbleous Designer Paper in Memento Black Ink, used a Beautiful Trees Die for cutting, and placed the labels on Mini-Dimensionals.
The colorful hearts were cut with Sweet Hearts Dies from Sweet Hearts Designer Paper, and placed on Mini-Dimensionals. The hearts were “strung” with Thick Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Tulips Die that is actually a stem. You can see it in my Product List below. I love this stem!
The background is Simply Marbleous Designer Paper (a free Sale-a-bration option) 4″ X 5 1/4″, layered on a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.

Are you ready to “Sale-a-brate?” Stampin’ Up! is ready for you to select FREE product for qualifying orders, and Friendly Hello is one of the options. Sale-a-bration began yesterday, January 4th, and runs through February 28th. If you see something you want, order right away, because it’s “while supplies last.”
Today’s card was created with the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and Friendly Hello Designer Paper, an option you can select for a qualifying order of $100. Clicking on the picture in my Product List below will show you the details.
I began by fussy cutting three flowers from one of the patterns of designer paper in Fresh Freesia.
Sale-a-bration Birthday
Next, I created the background in Granny Apple Green. First, I cut Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, and stamped three sprigs in VersaMark. Second, I used a Sponge Dauber to apply Soft Pastel chalk, and used a tissue to wipe away excess chalk. Third, I stamped three leaves, and two different sprigs, all in Granny Apple Green Ink.
For the sentiment, I stamped “Hope you have the best birthday” in Gorgeous Grape Ink.
My stamped layer was backed with Rainbows & Sunshine Designer Paper (1/8″ larger) in Granny Apple Green, and glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The Rainbows & Sunshine Designer Paper is another Sale-a-bration choice for a $50 qualifying order.
Finally, I attached the three flowers; two with Dimensionals, one glued flat, and curled the petals with my fingers.
The Friendly Hello Stamp Set has a nice variety, and the paper is gorgeous, which makes it an excellent selection.

Welcome to Global Design Project’s first challenge in 2022! I hope you’re as excited as I am to see how the designers have CASED Connie Collin’s beautiful card.
It presented the perfect opportunity for me to make a Valentine with products from the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
I began by stamping a sentiment from the Always In My Heart Stamp Set in Real Red Ink on Basic White Cardstock. The Stamparatus was used, so I could get an evenly inked, dark impression. Then, I used the large, Floral Heart Die for cutting. This die cuts the heart from the middle, making it fun to raise the heart on Dimensionals.
I just adore this sentiment, “You had me at hello.” Probably, because I met my husband on an airplane, and that was how I felt.
“You had me at hello”
For the background, I used a Basic Pattern Decorative Mask, the one with dots, as a stencil. Wanting it to be tone on tone, Sahara Sand Ink was applied with a Sponge Dauber on Sahara Sand Cardstock.
If the dots look slightly green, I think my Sponge Dauber wasn’t cleaned thoroughly. Time to buy some new Sponge Daubers!
Next, I used the second largest Stitched Rectangles Die for cutting the dotted layer. After wrapping it with Linen Thread, I attached it with Dimensionals to a Sahara Sand card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
