This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Peaceful Pine, Barely Blush, and Timid Tiger. I can’t wait to see how YOU use the colors. Please join our challenge, and tag your entry #gdp553.

I began stamping the flowers, from the Boutique Blossoms Stamp Set, in Timid Tiger Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used a Boutique Blossoms Die for cutting the flowers, and placed them on Dimensionals. The leaves were cut with a Boutique Blossoms Die from Bloom Boutique Designer Paper, and glued to the background, before attaching the flowers.

Boutique Blossoms on Gingham

The background is a sneak peek of new, Gingham Gallery Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, glued to a Barely Blush card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ folded at 4 1/4″. This paper will be available, in Online Exclusives, July 1. The four corners are decorated with Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Beautifully Celebrated Die.

The sentiment, “You’re the sweetest,” is from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set. I stamped it in Peaceful Pine Ink, and used a Banner Sayings Punch for cutting. To complete the design, I used a Boutique Blossoms Die to cut Basic White Cardstock flowers, curled them with a Bone Folder, and added centers of In Color Flat Pearls.

Help Me Grow for Global Design Project

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 week’s Global Design Project is an “animal” theme. We would love to see your animal themed cards, and don’t forget to tag it #gdp551.

I HAD to feature my favorite bear, Winnie the Pooh, on a birthday card.

Silly Old Bear

Winnie the Pooh is sharing the spotlight with his favorite friend, Piglet. They were cut with Sweet Old Friend Dies from Silly Old Bear Designer Paper. After layering them for thickness, I placed them on Dimensionals.

The animals are sitting on Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Sweet Words & Labels Die. After cutting, I stamped it in Crumb Cake Ink, from the Sweet Words & Labels Stamp Set, giving the white frame a detailed border. I layered this on Basic Beige Cardstock, cut with a Sweet Words & Labels Die a size larger. The frames are attached with Dimensionals to Silly Old Bear Designer Paper in a Barely Blush, checked pattern, 4″ X 5 1/4″. The card base is Basic Beige Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment, “wishing you good things,” from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set, was stamped in Crumb Cake Ink. The balloon was cut with a Balloon Festoon Die from 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper. And, the string and balloon highlight were cut with Balloon Festoon Dies from Basic White Cardstock.

Relaxing Waterside for Global Design Project

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

This week’s Global Design Project is a sketch challenge. My first decision was to use the Relaxing Waterside Bundle.

I was excited to cut the fabulous, Relaxing Waterside chair from Country Woods Designer Paper. I actually cut the chair from six of the wood patterns before choosing the brown chair you see. The others will probably show up on different cards.

Relaxing Waterside

Next, I used the largest, square, Stylish Shapes Die, to cut a scene from Waterside Retreat Designer Paper.

Then, I used the smallest, square, Stylish Shapes Die, to cut four patterns of Waterside Retreat Designer Paper. “Dad” is from the Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso Ink on one of the squares. Before attaching the squares, I cut a pattern of Bloom Boutique Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. This Peaceful Pine, wavy, pattern was glued to a Peaceful Pine card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I glued the large, scene, flat, layered the small squares on cardstock, and attached them with Dimensionals.

For the inside, I glued Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. “Have a great birthday” is from the Relaxing Waterside Stamp Set, stamped in Early Espresso ink. To complete the card, I fussy cut a fish from Waterside Retreat DSP, and glued it in place.

New In Colors for Global Design Project

May 25, 2026 | Gallery, Global Design Project, Hand-Crafted Cards | 4 comments

To see photos correctly, please click “read on blog.”

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using three, new 2026-2028 In Colors: Hydrangea Hue, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Golden Glow. I hope you’ll be inspired by our designers, then create your own project, using these colors. And, remember to tag it #gdp549.

I began with a fan favorite, Hydrangea Hue, for the card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I created a stencil using the Eyelet Blooms Die, April’s Product of the Month. (Last check, it was still available). After cutting the stencil, I placed it on Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/2″, and used a Blending Brush to color the white paper through the holes. This stenciled layer was glued to the card base.

Hydrangea Hue, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow

The “In Colors” are displayed beautifully in Bloom Boutique Designer Paper, which I used to cut five flowers with the second smallest Scalloped Blooms Die. Then, I used the Scalloped Blooms circle die to cut the flower centers from matching designer paper. All were lifted on Dimensionals, and attached to the card front.

The sentiment, “You’re the sweetest,” is from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set. I stamped it in Hydrangea Hue Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Scalloped Blooms Die for cutting. After attaching it with Dimensionals, my card was complete.

Bloom Boutique for Global Design Project

May 18, 2026 | Gallery, Global Design Project, Hand-Crafted Cards | 0 comments

For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE a fun design by Kim Gibbons Fee. Her “sweetest” design is wonderful, which inspired my design. We’d love to see what you create, so please share it on social media, and tag it #gdp548.

I began with a Hydrangea Hue card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Isn’t this new color beautiful? Then, I cut a layer of Hydrangea Hue Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/2″, embossed it with the Lazy Daisy Embossing Folder, and glued it to the card base.

Bloom Boutique with Lazy Daisy

Next, I cut another piece of Hydrangea Hue Cardstock, 2 1/2″ X 4″, and layered it with Bloom Boutique Designer Paper, 1/8″ smaller. This was layered with a second pattern of Bloom Boutique Designer paper, 2 3/8″ X 1 1/2″. Prior to gluing the second pattern, I gave it detailed edges with a Bordered In Beauty Die. Then, I attached the entire piece to the middle of the card front.

“Sending smiles” is from the Lovely Arrangements Bundle. I stamped it in Hydrangea Hue Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Lovely Arrangements Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. As a last detail, I attached three tiny, In Color Butterflies. I don’t have the pretty ribbon that Kim used, so you’ll have to imagine it.
