This week’s Global Design Project is a fun color challenge, using three 2024-2026 In Colors: Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, and Petunia Pop.
I chose this pretty, little, flower, from Wild Flower Designs to show off the colors. The flowers were first stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, then colored with Stampin’ Blends, and cut with their Wild Flower Design die.

Wild Flowers
The flowers are framed with Basic White Cardstock, cut with an Unbounded Love die. This adorable die cuts the frame, and the center, at the same time. After cutting, I glued the flowers and frames on Basic White Cardstock, 4 5/8″ X 3 1/4″.
“Sending happy thoughts” is from the Wild Flower Designs Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. After stamping the sentiment, I attached it to the card front with Dimensionals.

The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with 2024-2026 In Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper in a Shy Shamrock pattern. I cut the DSP 1/16″ smaller, so it would have an even edge. To complete my project, I added three In Color Shimmer Gems in the three challenge colors.

See the instructions below, so you can join the challenge with your creation.

Country Woods Designer Paper is perfect for masculine cards, and that’s how I began today’s Father’ Day Card. I used the pattern, with all the colors, to make the large pinwheel. The Round We Go Die makes this 3D shape easy and fun to do.

Father’s Day Pinwheel
For the background, I used a second, Country Woods pattern, 4″ X 5 1/4″, to layer on a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This pattern was given extra texture with the Timber Embossing Folder. Prior to gluing the large pinwheel, I added two more pinwheels, cut from a third pattern of Country Woods DSP. This was cut at the same time, producing the two shapes.

Just for fun, I topped the pinwheel with a Country Birdhouse bird, cut from a 4th pattern of Country Woods DSP. After stamping the bird in Memento Black Ink, I used a Country Birdhouse Die for cutting, and layered the bird with cardstock for thickness.

“Happy Father’s Day” is from the Trusty Tools Stamp Set, cut with a Hearts & Hugs Die. I stamped it in Misty Moonlight Ink on the DSP, and attached the label with Dimensionals.

I’m loving the combination of dark blue and white tile with oranges, die-cut from the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper. Another tile pattern was used to decorate the envelope flap.

For today’s card, I used a Citrus Blooms Die to cut the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper in a Night of Navy tile pattern. After cutting, I glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ , folded at 4 1/4″.

“hello” oranges
Next, I used Citrus Bloom Dies to cut oranges and blossoms from the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper. After cutting, I attached them with Dimensionals.

“Hello” is from the Citrus Blooms Stamp Set, stamped in Night Of Navy Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used an Unbounded Love Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. To complete the card, I added three Textured Dots.

The Silver Dollar Eucalyptus tree originated in Australia, and is prolific in San Diego. I love this pattern of leaves in the Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper, that I used for today’s card. And, don’t miss the sale announcement below!

Silver Dollar Eucalyptus
Doesn’t it look like the Silver Dollar Eucalyptus tree that is growing in my front yard?

To begin, I glued the Frames & Flowers DSP, 3 3/4″ X 5″, to a Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used a Friends For Life Die to cut the heart from solid, Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper, and a second heart for the Silver Foil frame.
“Love you” is from the Friends For Life Stamp Set, stamped in Pretty Peacock Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used a Happy Little Things Die for cutting, and placed it on Mini Dimensionals on top of a piece of Silver & White Sheer Ribbon. The ribbon is adhered with Tear & Tape beneath the sentiment label.

To complete the design, I added a “punch-out” branch with Dimensionals, and three Smoky Slate Pearls.

Two of the most beautiful pages in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog are pp 34-35, showcasing the Mediterranean Blooms Suite Collection. The designer paper is stunning, combining oranges and lemons with dark blue tile.

We all love dies that cut images from designer paper, and this set provides oranges galore!

One sheet of the DSP will give you seven full images of a branch with three oranges, and four edge pieces.

Die-cut oranges
The same sheet will also give you four full images of a single orange, and seven edge pieces. Plus, blossoms too numerous to count.

Stampin’ Up’s! June 5-30 Bundle Sale starts tomorrow, where you’ll receive a 20% discount on bundles.

Don’t overlook the best time to order the Citrus Blooms Bundle is now! (The suite can’t be ordered until the first week in July, because Opal Rounds won’t be available until then). The links to order are in my Product List below.
