Today’s card includes a new favorite from Online Exclusives, Lovely Arrangements Dies. I used this fun die to cut Splendid Autumn Designer Paper in two colors: Highland Heather and Balmy Blue.
Lovely Arrangements Elephant
Next, I stamped the elephant, from the Big Little Things Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a 2 3/4″ X 2″ Perennial Postage Die for cutting. Then, I used the largest Perennial Postage Die to Cut Basic White Cardstock, and glued the Lovely Arrangements die-cuts in place. After gluing the layer to a Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I attached the elephant with Dimensionals.
“Huge Thanks” is also from the Big Little Things Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used the smallest Perennial Postage Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a final detail, I attached three Smoky Slate Pearls.
I was inspired by TGIF.

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Night Of Navy, Azure Afternoon, and Balmy Blue. I’ve been wanting to create a card with the Manatee from the Big Little Things Stamp Set, and shades of blue would be perfect! I began by stamping the Manatee in Night Of Navy Ink, fussy cutting, and placing him on Dimensionals.
Manatee
Next, I created his background with Blending Brushes, Basic White Cardstock, and three colors of ink: Night Of Navy, Balmy Blue, and Azure Afternoon. Then, I embossed it with the So Swirly Embossing Folder, and used the third largest Textured Notes Die for cutting.
The next layer was Azure Afternoon Cardstock, cut with the second largest Textured Notes Die. This layer was attached with Dimensionals to Night Of Navy Cardstock, cut with the largest Textured Notes Die, which was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “Huge Thanks,” is from the Big Little Things Stamp Set. I stamped it in Night Of Navy Ink on a 1″ square of Basic White Cardstock, colored with a Blending Brush and Azure Afternoon Ink. After gluing to the “sea cow,” I attached them with Dimensionals. For a touch of sparkle, I used pin dots of glue to adhere some tiny, retired sequins.
Now it’s your turn to get creative with these colors. Please use the tag #gdp529, when you post on social media.

Who are the Piccadilli Players? We are 2024 Artisan Design Team Members who wanted to keep our group together for quarterly Instagram hops. The theme for our fourth hop is a sketch, which posted on Instagram Friday, January 2nd. For my design I’m giving you a sneak peek of Easter products that will be available January 6th; just two days from now!
Easter Time Bunny
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I layered it with Bubble Bath Cardstock, 1 3/4″ X 4 3/4″ (angled) and Love Notes Mix & Match Designer Paper, 3″ X 5 1/4″.
Next, came the really fun part. The bunny, wreath, and egg are “punch-outs” from the Easter Time Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. Aren’t they darling? I glued the wreath flat, and attached the bunny with Dimensionals. The sentiment, “hello spring,” is from the Easter Basket Stamp Set. I stamped it in Highland Heather ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Words Of Beauty Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals beneath the bunny. The bow was cut from Bubble Bath Cardstock, with an Easter Basket Die, and glued on the egg.
The final touch was adding three, tiny, gingham eggs, a new Easter Assortment Embellishment.
Here is our sketch:

Happy New Year!!! For the first day of the new year, I’m giving you a sneak peek of Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper, an Online Exclusive, available January 6, 2026. I began by using the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder to give texture to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. This layer was glued to a Petal Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Lovely Blossoms Flagged
Next, I used the largest, square, Stylish Shapes Die, to cut a pattern of Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper. Then, I used the medium, flagged, Stylish Shapes Die to cut strips of three patterns of Lovely Blossoms DSP. After gluing the strips to the back of the square, I placed the square and the strips on Dimensionals, and attached it to the card front.
“Thanks” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it in Secret Sea Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used the smallest, flagged, Stylish Shapes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. To add a little sparkle, I added three Iridescent Foil Gems.

Welcome to the Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Fun Folds Blog Hop. There’s a lineup below to make it easy for you to hop along. My Fun Fold this month will give you a sneak peek of the Lovely Arrangements Suite, an Online Exclusive, available January 6, 2026.
Lovely Arrangements Fun Fold
I began with Cloud Cover Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 11″, cut in half, 4 1/4″ X 11″. One half was scored: 2″, 3 3/4″, 7 1/4″, and 9″. The other half was cut 4 1/4″ X 4″ and 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, with one piece remaining.
First, I decided the front would be a gorgeous pattern of Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper. This was cut 3 3/4″ X 4″ and glued to the Cloud Cover Cardstock piece, 4″ X 4 1/4″. Second, I fussy cut an oval with flowers from Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper, and attached it with Dimensionals to the front. Then, I stamped “Happy Birthday,” from the Lovely Arrangements Stamp Set, in Secret Sea Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After cutting with its Lovely Arrangements Die, I glued it in place.
Next, I cut two pieces of Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper, 3/4″ X 4″, in a ticking pattern. These were glued to the ends of Cloud Cover Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″. By gluing these first, it helps center the long, scored piece, which I glued in place. See how they show when the card is folded flat?
After gluing a third piece of ticking, Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper, 1 3/4″ X 4″, to the right side of the front fold, comes the trickiest part. I glued the floral panel to the left side of the front fold, so it overlapped the right side, Making sure to only glue half the panel. It opens to reveal the center, where I layered Lovely Blossoms Designer Paper, 3 1/4″ X 4″, with Basic White Cardstock, 3″ X 3 3/4″.
