This week, TGIF has an inspiration challenge. I created flowers in sunset colors, and used a circular, Scalloped Blooms Die to represent the ferris wheel. We’d love to see what you create, using this beautiful sunset as inspiration.
I began with a background of Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, embossed with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder. This layer was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Sunset Flowers
Next, I used a Boutique Blossoms Die to cut 15 flowers from Garden Poetry Designer Paper. This paper has the perfect colors for a red, purple, and gold sunset. After cutting, I used a Bone Folder to curl them, and attached them to the card front with Mini Dimensionals.
I stamped “happy birthday,” from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set, in Blackberry Bliss Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After cutting with a Scalloped Blooms Die, I attached the sentiment with Dimensionals. I couldn’t complete the card without adding four Sunset Sparkle Sequins.
Product of the Month ($5.00 with a $75.00 order).

The Stampin’ Fancy Friday Design Team is a group of past and continuing Artisans, bringing our followers a fancy monthly challenge for inspiration. This month it’s an “inspired by water” challenge.
I was excited to use new products for this month’s challenge, and I began by fussy cutting fish from Waterside Retreat Designer Paper.
Waterside Retreat Fish
Next, I used the largest Scalloped Blooms Die to cut Misty Moonlight Cardstock. Then, I used the second largest Scalloped Blooms Die to cut 2025-2027 In Color Designer Paper in a Cloud Cover pattern. After gluing the two together, I cut a straight edge. This was glued to a Cloud Cover card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
” Happy Birthday” is from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set. I stamped it in Misty Moonlight Ink on 2025-2027 In Color DSP, and used a Scalloped Blooms Die for cutting. After layering it for thickness, I attached it to the card front with Dimensionals, along with the five fish.For some undersea shine, I added Sunset Sparkle Sequins.

For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE the fabulous Jay Soriano. His potted plants are wonderful, which inspired my design. We’d love to see what you create, so please share it on social media, and tag it #gdp552.
To begin, I used a Blending Brush with Calypso Coral Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After coloring, I used Help Me Grow Dies to cut the pot and dish. The dies come with “slices” to insert the pot in the dish, and plants in the pot! For the leaves and flowers, I used more Help Me Grow Dies. The leaves were cut from Lovely & Beautiful Designer Paper, and the flowers were cut from Basic White Cardstock.
Potted Plant
Next, I cut the background with the 4th largest Everyday Arches Die from Wood Grain Wonders Designer Paper. This was glued to Lovely & Beautiful Designer paper, cut with the 2nd largest Everyday Arches Die. Both were glued to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Thanks” is from the Help Me Grow Stamp Set. I stamped it in Early Espresso Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Help Me Grow Die for cutting, and tucked it in the pot. After attaching the pot with Dimensionals, my card was complete.

This adorable penguin is from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set, June’s Product of the Month. I stamped him in Basic Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used three Stampin’ Blends for coloring. It took tiny amounts of Smoky Slate, Golden Glow, and Barely Blush for his mostly white body. Keep reading to see how I used the “inlay” technique to make the penguin “flush” to the card front. Keep in mind that you can add this set to your $75 order for just $5.00, and get free shipping.
Wild Bunch Penguin
Rather than fussy cutting the penguin, I used a Sweet Words & Labels Die for cutting. Then, I used a size larger die to cut Hydrangea Hue Cardstock, creating a frame. After cutting the frame, I decided to “inlay” the penguin, and used the smaller die to cut a hole in the Hydrangea Hue frame. Next, I used the larger die to cut a hole in the plaid, background paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. After gluing the 2026-2028 In Color Gingham Garden DSP to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 5 1/4″, I glued the framed penguin in the hole.
“Hi friend” is from the Wild Bunch Stamp Set. I stamped it in Basic Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Sweet Words & Labels Die for cutting. A size larger die was used to cut Hydrangea Hue Cardstock for framing. The framed sentiment was glued on top of the card front. Can you see the difference?

This week’s TGIF Challenge is a sketch. We’d love to see how you use the sketch, and hope that you’ll play along with us. Please tag your creation #tgifc581. You could be a winner!
I began by cutting one of the beautiful patterns of Valley In Bloom Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Then, I used a Stylish Shapes circle die to cut the middle from the designer paper. The 4″ X 5 1/4″ piece, with the hole in the middle, was glued to a Blackberry Bliss card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Blackberry Bliss might look like black in the photo, but it’s a deep, rich purple.
Valley In Bloom
Next, I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Blackberry Bliss Ink on Valley in Bloom Designer Paper, and used a Stylish Shapes Die for cutting. The sentiment is in the Lily Of The Valley Stamp Set. After layering the sentiment label and circle on cardstock for thickness, I attached them to the card front with Dimensionals.
This card was so simple to do, I tried making it more complicated, but decided “less is more,” and just added three, Sunset Sparkle Sequins.

This light shade of pink is the star of the show on today’s card, with a card base cut from Barely Blush Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The six squares were cut from Bloom Boutique Designer Paper with a Stylish Shapes Die, layered on cardstock for thickness, and attached with Dimensionals.The Bloom Boutique Designer Paper has tiny bits of all the 2026-2028 In Colors, plus gold highlights.
Bloom Boutique In Colors
Next, I used Words & Wishes Dies to cut “Happy Birthday” from Gold Foil. After backing the words with cardstock for thickness, I glued them in place.
For the inside, I cut a similar pattern of Bloom Boutique DSP, 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, and glued it in place. (I cut it a spec smaller, so it wouldn’t hang over the edge). Then, I cut Basic White Cardstock with a Stylish Shapes Die for a sentiment from the Words & Wishes Stamp Set. I stamped “you make life sweeter than cake” in Crisp Cantaloupe Ink. The cake, also from the Words & Wishes Stamp Set, was stamped in Barely Blush Ink on Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Words & Wishes Die, and glued in place.
Here’s another view of the inside, where you can see the gold highlights.
