October’s assignment for the 2024 Artisan Design Team was to create projects using the Regal Flora Bundle from the 2024 September- December Mini Catalog. You’ll find the supplies in my Product List below.
Regal Flora Artisan Project
For the first card, I chose a Petal Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. I layered it with Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. Prior to gluing the cardstock, I gave it texture with the Birch Wood Embossing Folder.
Next, I stamped the Regal Flora, single flower, in five colors of ink on Basic White Cardstock: Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath, Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight and Pretty In Pink. After stamping I used its Regal Flora Die for cutting the nine flowers. The two Garden Green sprigs were also stamped and die-cut.
To make the rectangular wreath I used the frame of a Regal Flora die-cut, which was glued to the card front. Then, I arranged the flowers, attached them with Dimensionals, and glued the sprigs.
“Sending love your way” is from the Regal Flora Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink on the center of the die-cut. After stamping, I attached it with Dimensionals. Rainbow Dots were added as a final touch.
The second card features a small flower, stamped in the same colors as the first card, cut with its Regal Flora Die, and placed on Dimensionals. The piece beneath the flowers was also cut with a Regal Flora Die, from Basic White Cardstock, and colored with a Blending Brush and Granny Apple Green Ink.
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, with the sentiment stamped directly on it. “Wishing I were there to give you a hug” and framed with a border from the die-cut. I also stamped the Garden Green dots, using a Regal Flora Stamp.This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Here is a second design with Regal Distressed Patterns Designer Paper. I began by using half of the paper I had cut for the first card; two cuts, 4″ X 5 1/4″ with a third, diagonal cut. The pieces were ready to glue to a Cherry Cobbler card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This time my focal point was a cup of hot cocoa, from Joyful Images Ephemera, attached with Dimensionals.
Hot Cocoa
I found the words, “nothing’s better than,” and “hot cocoa” in the Nothing Autumn Die Set. After cutting the words from Gold Foil, I glued them in place, and my second, quick & easy design was complete.
Here is the sketch. Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Share and tag #GDP466 to play along with this challenge.

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is Orange Theory. We hope to inspire you with our creations using the color orange today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
Today, I’m combining the Frosted Forest Bundle with Splendid Autumn Designer Paper on a Double Z Fun Fold Card. First, I cut a piece of 8 1/2″ X 11″ Pumpkin Pie Cardstock in half, 4 1/4″ X 11″, and scored it at 2 3/4″ and 5 1/2″. You can use the other half to make a second card. The two smaller panels were decorated with Splendid Autumn DSP, 2 1/2″ X 4″. I cut a second piece of DSP in Balmy Blue for the larger panel, 5 1/4″ X 4″.
Autumn Fun Fold
Before gluing the panels, I cut a band for the bottom from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, 11″ X 1 1/4,” scored at 5 1/2″ and 2 3/4″. The band was decorated with two strips of Splendid Autumn DSP, 2 1/2″ X 1″. The long strip was covered by DSP on the front panel, and decorated with die-cut trees. The trees were cut with a Frosted Forest Die from Early Espresso Cardstock, layered for thickness, and glued in place. I made sure not to put glue on the tree branches above the band.
Next, a second set of trees was cut from Pecan Pie Cardstock, and glued on the Balmy Blue panel. I also stamped three birds from the Frosted Forest Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on Balmy Blue DSP, and colored them with a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend. Then, I used their Frosted Forest Die for cutting, layered them for thickness, and glued them in place.
The trickiest part of the Double-Z Fun Fold is fastening the band. It seems odd, but the long section of the band is glued to the short front section. I find it easiest to apply glue to the folded band, because this exposes only the part that should have glue. Then, fold the card while adhering the band in place. I suggest having a “dry” run before applying glue.
The sentiment, “birthday wishes for a day as great as you are,” is from the Frosted Forest Bundle. I stamped it in Early Espresso Ink, used a Stylish Shapes Die for cutting, and glued it in place.
This Double Z Fun Fold card fits nicely inside our Medium Envelopes, and Basic White Cardstock can be glued to the back for a personal message.

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun sketch challenge, and great to show off Stampin’ Up’s Regal Distressed Patterns Designer Paper. I began by cutting two of the papers, 4″ X 5 1/4″, then made a third, diagonal cut. After cutting, I glued them to a Cherry Cobbler card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used a Golden Greenery Die to cut a branch from Gold Mercury Vellum. You don’t have to worry about glue showing through this vellum. Love it!
Season’s Greetings
Next, I stamped “Season’s Greetings” in Cherry Cobbler Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Spotlight On Nature Die for cutting. Then, I used two Spotlight On Nature Dies to cut a frame from Gold Foil, glued it on top of the sentiment, and attached it with Dimensionals.
To complete the card, I added a Cherry Cobbler & Gold Satin Ribbon. This picture shows the gold shine.

The More Than Autumn Bundle is great for Fall, but it can also be used for Christmas. I began by doing some “paper piecing” on the cups with Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper. Using a peppermint pattern, I stamped two cups, from the More Than Autumn Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink, and used Paper Snips to cut the cup wrapper. Then, I stamped two Cups in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After cutting the cups with their More Than Autumn die, I glued the wrappers in place. The whip cream was created by using a More Than Autumn stamp, Moody Mauve Ink (stamped off on Basic White Cardstock), cut with a More Than Autumn Die, and glued in place. The straws were stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink, cut with their die, and glued to the whip cream.
Christmas Drinks
Next, I cut “Christmas” from Old Olive Glimmer Paper, backed with Basic White Cardstock, and placed on Dimensionals. “Merry” was stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink on Basic White Cardstock. The sentiments and dies are from the Peaceful Season Bundle, which you can see in my Product List below.
The background of trees is a pattern of Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. To complete my peppermint card, I added three Adhesive-Backed Peppermints. Then three, small, gingerbread men hopped on. They were stamped in Early Espresso Ink on Basic white Cardstock, colored with a Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend, and cut with a More Than Autumn die.
