For this week’s Global Design Project, I’m excited to share a few of my favorite products from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. This sunburst design is from Full Of Life Designer Paper. The pack has all the colors of the rainbow, with a modern vibe, and you’re going to love it!
I cut the 6″x6″ paper to 4″ X 5 1/4″, and embossed it with the Dotted Circles Embossing Folder. It was an experiment, and I love how it turned out! Don’t you? After embossing, I glued the DSP to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Full Of Life
The centerpiece is a framed sentiment, created with the Unbounded Love Bundle. This bundle has 16 dies to frame 25 sentiment stamps! I stamped “Hope,” and “is believing in a brighter tomorrow,” in Shaded Spruce Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used an Unbounded Love die for cutting. Then, I used the same die to cut Granny Apple Green Cardstock, making a frame for the sentiment.

Once the framed sentiment was glued in the center of the card front, I attached three Brushed Brass Butterflies, and my quick & easy card was complete.

I was inspired by Kayla Renee. Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Share and tag #GDP444 to play along with this challenge.

The Fern Embossing Folder has been with us for a while, and it’s still a favorite. For today’s card, I embossed Basic White Cardstock, and used four colors of ink: Soft Sea Foam, Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Shaded Spruce. To spread the ink, I used Blending Brushes, on the debossed side.

Debossed Fern
To add extra pizzazz, I used an Everyday Details Die to cut a pattern on the left side, and backed the ferns with Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. Then, I glued my art piece to a Soft Sea Foam card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment, “Have a blessed day,” is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, stamped in Shaded Spruce, cut with an Everyday Details Die, and attached with Dimensionals.
A single, Brushed Brass Butterfly flew onto the sentiment label.

Welcome to May! You can finally order from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, and the Spotlight On Nature Bundle is a favorite. The TWELVE circle dies in this bundle are a “must-have,” featuring three different, “mix & match,” detailed edges.

Spotlight On Nature
The images in the Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set are beautiful, and fun to color. After stamping them in Memento Black Ink, I used Stampin’ Blends in five colors: Pumpkin Pie, Peach Pie, Old Olive, Shy Shamrock, and Pretty In Pink.
“Thanks” is one of the sentiments in the Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set, also stamped in Memento Black Ink. The three circles were attached with Dimensionals; the two smaller circles have double stacked Dimensionals.

To give the background texture, I used the new, Dashing Designs Embossing Folder on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. I love it, which is the reason I chose it for my gift to you this month. Read the details below.

As a subtle touch, I added three Iridescent Pearls.

This week’s Global Design Project challenge is a theme: music. My Zoo Crew characters, snipped from the designer paper, were ready to take on the challenge. After fussy cutting, I placed Frog, Beaver, and Turtle on Dimensionals, and set them aside while preparing their background.

I used an Irresistible Blooms Die with an Adhesive Sheet to cut Basic Black Cardstock, and placed it on Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/4″ X 4″. Doesn’t it look like a music staff with notes? You’ll find this die by clicking on my Online Exclusives link below.
Next, I stamped “happy birthday,” from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink, along the top of the staff. Then, I glued the layer to a Granny Apple Green card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Zoo Crew Music
To make the card extra happy, I cut the letters “h-a-p-p-y” from Brights 6X6″ Designer Paper and Foam Adhesive Sheets for Dimension. The letters are from the Mini Alphabet Die Set, which is carrying over to the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. Yay!

See how our designers used the music theme, then create your own design, and hang it in our gallery.

When I saw the Hearts & Hugs Stamp Set in the new, 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, I fell in love with the hamster. For todays’ card, she came alive as Hattie; stamped in Memento Black Ink, and colored with Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. After I used her Hearts & Hugs die to cut her free, she requested Pretty In Pink for her cheeks. Isn’t she a cutie?

Hattie the Hamster
Hattie loves to nibble on paper, and chose to layer her card with Deckled Rectangles Dies. She thought the uneven edge would conceal where she had taken a bite. We used four of the dies, as shown in the picture. The pink stripe is 2024-2026 In Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper in Pretty In Pink. This was glued to a Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Hattie wanted her birthday card to be festive, and thought of heat embossing silver dots. I stamped the Drizzling Droplets Background Stamp with VersaMark on Basic White Cardstock, sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Our Embossing Additions Tool Kit comes with tweezers to make the job easier.

“Sending birthday hugs” is from her Hearts & Hugs Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with a Happy Little Things Die. The top layer, Hattie, and sentiment are on Dimensionals. Hattie’s final request was a pretty, Silver & White bow, which I attached with a Glue Dot.
Hattie has made friends with the other “huggers” in her stamp set, and thinks you’ll like them too.
