Today’s card is a combination of the new bundle, Frosted Forest, and two designer papers. I began by using a Frosted Forest Die to cut Country Woods Designer Paper, and snipped the ends of the “ground” to 4″. After gluing the trees to a 4″ X 4″ square of Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, I glued the layer to a Copper Clay card base, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Frosted Forest Fall
Next, I used a Friends For life Die to cut a piece of coordinating, Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, for the sentiment. I like the way this die and the Frosted Forest Die stretch across 4″, which is the reason I decided on a square card.
The sentiment, “Thinking of you, and how you strengthen my life,” is from the Frosted Forest Stamp Set. I stamped it in Early Espresso Ink on the DSP, gave it one layer of cardstock for thickness, and attached it with Mini Dimensionals.

Today’s clean & simple card uses one of my favorite techniques, stencilling.
Stenciled Leaves
I began by cutting a Friends For Life, leaf die, from Basic White Cardstock. Then, using this as a stencil, I applied ink with Small Blending Brushes to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. I placed the stencil randomly, and used three colors of ink: Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Lemon Lime Twist. After coloring, I glued my leaves to a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment, “You’re a true blessing,” is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, and used an Unbounded Love Die for cutting. This die is extra cute, because it cuts in two pieces, so you could choose a different colored frame. You can see all the Unbounded Love sentiments and dies by clicking on the picture in my Product List below.

I’ve just started creating with the Frosted Forest Bundle, and I know we’re going to love it! For today’s card, I let the Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper do “most” of the work. It’s hard to improve upon this gorgeous scene, 4″ X 5 1/4″, but adding cardstock to die-cut images makes a “tactile” difference. I noticed that the pine tree from the Frosted Forest Bundle looked similar, so I used a die to cut Mossy Meadow Cardstock. After layering it two times, for thickness, I glued it in place.
Frosted Forest
Next, I stamped “thank you,” from the Frosted Forest Stamp Set, in Mossy Meadow Ink on a coordinating piece of the designer paper. Then, I used the smallest Perennial Postage Die for cutting, layered it two times, and glued it in place.
Do you see the darling bird? I stamped it in Boho Blue Ink, layered it, and glued it in place. I gave the scene a Boho Blue card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and my card was complete. You have to “feel” this card to really appreciate it.

Welcome to July! For this week’s Global Design Project, I began with the beautiful, pink, cardstock, named Bubble Bath. After cutting the card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I decided to feature the Magnolia Mood Bundle. I used the large, intricate, Magnolia Mood die to cut from a layer of Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
Magnolia Blooms
After removing the die-cut, from the layer, I embossed the layer with the So Swirly Embossing Folder. Then, I glued the layer to the Bubble Bath card front, and glued the die-cut back in its hole.
Next, I stamped magnolias from the Magnolia Mood Stamp Set in Basic Gray Ink, used its Magnolia Mood Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
The sentiment, “You’re in my thoughts today,” is from the Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink, used an Unbounded Love Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.
To complete the design, I cut sprigs, using an Unbounded Love Die, from White Glimmer Specialty Paper. And, I added three, Iridescent Pearls to the sentiment label.
I was inspired by Rose Marie Coleman. Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Share and tag #GDP452 to play along with this challenge.
I was also inspired by the Magnolia Tree in our yard. The blossoms are so pretty!
