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:)

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun theme: sunshine & rainbows. There’s a wonderful sun in the Spring Corners Bundle, and I used two of the dies to cut a sun from Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper.
Sunshine & Rainbows
I wanted the sun to have a rainbow background, and used a multi colored piece of Beautiful Bokeh, 4″ X 5 1/4″, that was just what I needed. I glued this to a Lost Lagoon card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The clouds were cut from Basic White Cardstock with Umbrella Days Dies. Aren’t they pretty clouds? To see a rainbow, you need to have rain, which I created with an Umbrella Days stamp and Lost Lagoon Ink.
The sentiment, “the storm will end, and the sun will shine again,” is also from the Umbrella Days Stamp Set. I stamped it in VersaMark on Lost Lagoon Cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and set it with the Heat Tool. Then, I used an Autumn Leaves Die for cutting, and attached it with the clouds on Dimensionals. To add some rainbow sparkle, I attached five, Iridescent Foil Gems.
Now it’s your turn to get creative with “sunshine & rainbows.” Please post your design, and tag it #gdp487.

If “fun & easy” is the name of your game, you should try this card, created with Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper. The round wreath is one of the many “punch-outs” that is part of the Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper. Click on the picture in my Product List to see all of the selections. I began with a Petal Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with one of the patterns, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
Window Sheet Experiment
As an experiment, I cut a round piece of Window Sheet to glue beneath the wreath. The largest, round, Stylish Shapes Die was just a guide, because I had to cut through the Window Sheet with scissors. Next, I stamped the sentiment, from the Sharing Loving Crafting Stamp Set, in Pretty Peacock Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used the 1 3/4″ Stylish Shapes circle die for cutting. The vertical strip was cut with a Delightful Wishes Die from another pattern of Frames & Flowers Specialty Paper, and glued across the back of the sentiment circle. Then, both were glued on top of the Window Sheet and wreath, and all were lifted above the card front on Mini Dimensionals.
To complete my card, I added three Iridescent Foil Gems. This design could easily be turned into a “shaker” card, but I was concentrating on Global Design Project’s sketch challenge.
Here is the Global Design Project sketch. We’d love to see what you do with it, and don’t forget to tag it #GDP486.

When I saw this week’s Global Design Project color challenge (Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight), I immediately thought of the beautiful, Mediterranean Blooms Designer Paper. The first thing I did was fussy cut the lemon, leaves, and blossoms, from the designer paper, and place it on Dimensionals.
Lovely Lemon
Next, I used two Citrus Blooms Dies to cut the background from Basic White Cardstock. This was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Thank you” is from the Humble Home Stamp Set, stamped on the card front in Garden Green Ink. After stamping, I colored the letters with a Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend.
The star shaped blossoms were cut with Citrus Blooms Dies from Glimmer Specialty Paper, and I also added three Dots For Days in yellow.
Now, it’s your turn to get creative with the colors in this challenge. When sharing your creation, please add #gdp485.

For this week’s Global Design Project, I had fun CASEing Janneke De Jong’s watermelon card. I love her color combination of pink and green.
I began by stamping three, small, flowers, from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set, in Flirty Flamingo Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used a Delightful Wishes Die for cutting, and placed the flowers on Dimensionals.
Wishing you well
Next, I used a Blending Brush with Old Olive Ink to create a “spot” on Basic White Cardstock, 3 5/8″ X 4 7/8″. Then, I stamped leaves, and the sentiment, “you well” in Old Olive Ink. Both are from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set. To complete the sentiment, I used a Delightful Wishes Die to cut “wishing” from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and glued it in place. I used white to keep the attention on the lower half of the card, like Janneke.
Also like Janneke, I glued the white layer to Flirty Flamingo Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″. This was attached, with Dimensionals, to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. As a final touch, I added three, Earth Tones Shimmer Gems.

The Storybook Moments bunnies are working in their garden of strawberries and blueberries, for this week’s Global Design Project’s “fruit” theme challenge. I had fun fussy cutting the fabulous designer paper.
Strawberries and Blueberries
Countryside Corners Dies were also used to cut the strawberry designer paper (second largest), as well as Basic White Cardstock (largest and fourth largest) for layering. Before gluing the layers, I stamped “Happy Spring” in Boho Blue Ink on the top layer. This sentiment is in the Storybook Friends Stamp Set. Then, I attached the bunnies and blueberries with Dimensionals.
For the background, I embossed the front of the Boho Blue card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder.
Now, it’s your turn to find some fruit. Please share your design, and tag it #GDP483.
