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’s challenge is “Going Dotty.”

The dotted, Country Lace Designer Paper, makes a wonderful background for my wildflowers. I used an Online Exclusive, Textured Notes Die, for cutting the Petal Pink DSP. Then, I glued it to a Petal Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Wildflowers on Dotted Background
Next, I used three Thoughtful Wishes Dies to cut the wildflowers from Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper. These have been favorites from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. After cutting the flowers, I arranged them, partially gluing them to the background.

The sentiment, “You are seriously the best,” is from the Textured Notes Stamp Set. I stamped it in Mossy Meadow Ink on Thoughtful Journey DSP, used a Textured Notes Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. To complete the design, I added three Iridescent Foil Gems.

This week at Global Design project, we get to CASE Jay Soriano’s creative wedding card. I made a birthday card, featuring a bunny, but I think you’ll see some similarities. We’d love to see your CASE of Jay’s card, and remember to use #GDP488.

I began with a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with the same Country Lace Designer Paper that Jay used. The Basic Beige print is 3 1/4″ X 4 1/4″, and the Petal Pink print is 3/4″ X 4 1/4″. Instead of the car, my focal point is a bunny, cut from Storybook Moments Designer Paper with a Storybook Friends Die.

Birthday Bunny
I framed the bunny with Country Woods Designer Paper, cut with a Storybook Friends Die. After layering the frame with cardstock for thickness, it was ready to glue in place.

Prior to gluing the frame, I cut a branch from Country Lace Designer Paper with a Golden Greenery Die. Then, I backed it with cardstock for thickness, and glued the center of the branch in place, leaving the ends free for dimension.
Before attaching the bunny with Dimensionals, I stamped the vertical “Happy Birthday” in Crumb Cake Ink. Then, I gave the bunny some Swirl Dots, which could be eggs. This would have made a good Easter card, but I liked the vertical sentiment:)

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

I had fun using the Everyday Arches Bundle for today’s birthday card.

Arch Shaped Birthday Card
I began with a card base of Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, which I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, with the largest Everyday Arches Die. I placed the die as close to the edge as possible, without cutting the fold. Then, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Floral Vellum, and glued it in place.

Next, I used the fifth largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and glued it in middle of the card front. Then, I used the sixth largest Everyday Arches Dies to cut Gingham Vellum, along with Basic White Cardstock for backing. Prior to gluing, I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Old Olive Ink, and let it dry overnight, because it smears easily if it isn’t dry. This sentiment is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, which I chose for the font.
The three flowers were cut from the Floral Vellum with a Delightful Wishes Die. Then, I attached the flowers with Dimensionals, and added Rainbow Dots.

For the inside, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Basic White Cardstock. Before Gluing it in place, I stamped “you are simply fantastic” In Pool Party Ink. This is one of the fun, arched, sentiments in the Everyday Arches Stamp Set. I also stamped a flower from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set in Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight Inks. The envelope flap was decorated with Floral Delight Designer Paper.

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing for “The Male Room” theme, where we’ll be making cards for the men in our lives.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
