When I saw this week’s Global Design Project color challenge (Gorgeous Grape, Lemon Lime Twist, and Basic Black) I thought the colors would be perfect for a Halloween card. What do you think? Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Share and tag #GDP461 to play along with this challenge.
To design my Halloween card, I used the Playful Ghosts Stamp Set from Online Exclusives. First, I stamped the friendly ghost in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Spotlight on Nature Die for cutting. Then, I used Stampin’ Write Markers for coloring in four colors: Gorgeous Grape, Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Black, and Wild Wheat. The markers come in color family packs, which you can see in my Product List below.
Halloween Ghost
For the ghost’s background, I used two, larger, Spotlight On Nature Dies to cut Gorgeous Grape Cardstock and Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock. The white and purple circles were raised on Dimensionals, while the green circle was glued to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. The white layer was glued to a Gorgeous Grape card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I embossed the white layer with the Leaf Fall Embossing Folder.
“Trick or treat” is from the Playful Ghosts Stamp Set, and I stamped it in Memento Black Ink. To balance the design, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

Today’s card is a sneak peek of one of my favorites in the new, September-December 2024 Mini Catalog, the Regal Floral Bundle. I love the “Distinktive” stamps, and used four of them to stamp the flowers and greenery in three colors of ink: Pretty In Pink, Poppy Parade, and Mossy Meadow. Then, I used their Regal Floral Dies for cutting, glued them together, and placed the bouquet on Dimensionals.
Regal Floral Sneak Peek
Next, I used the Regal Floral Die, a rectangle with two rounded corners, to cut Country Lace Designer Paper. This paper is on sale now, but only until August 31. See the details below. I remembered seeing this shape in the Wonderful Thoughts Dies, so I used that for the sentiment. I stamped “thanks,” from the Regal Floral Stamp Set, in Smoky Slate Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and placed it on Dimensionals.
The interesting, white, die-cut piece was also created with a Regal Floral Die, which I glued to the Basic White Cardstock layer, 4″ X 5 1/4″. This layer was glued to a Pretty In Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I used a Regal Floral Stamp to stamp Smoky Slate Dots. I added three, Smoky Slate Pearls as a finishing touch.

This week’s Global Design Project is a theme: greenery. I used the Changing Leaves Bundle, one of my favorites from the new, Online Exclusive products. The Changing Leaves Hybrid Embossing Folder, that comes in the bundle, was used to emboss Basic White Cardstock. Prior to embossing, I used the largest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut the white cardstock. Then, I glued the layer to a Mossy Meadow card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Green Leaves
Next, I used Changing Leaves Dies to cut the leaves from Flowering Zinnias Designer Paper. See how the designer paper adds a variation of green to the leaves? They were layered on cardstock for thickness, and glued to the card front. The sprigs were cut from Pecan Pie Cardstock, and glued in place.
The sentiment is from the Changing Leaves Stamp Set, and cut with a Changing Leaves Die. I stamped, “a little note to brighten your day,” in Early Espresso Ink, and attached it with Dimensionals. The final step was embellishing with Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems.

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun sketch challenge, and great for Stampin’ Up’s coordinating designer paper. I chose Wildly Flowering, and cut three pieces of the designer paper, 4″ X 1 3/4″. After cutting, I glued them to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I used a Golden Greenery Die to cut a branch from Country Woods Designer Paper. Doesn’t it look like the wildflowers?
Wildly Flowering
Next, I stamped “thank you” in Wild Wheat Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Countryside Corners Die for cutting. Then, I attached it with Dimensions, over and under, the branch. The bottom of the branch, and the little bit on the sentiment label is glued, with the top portion left free. “Thank you” is from the Wildflower Designs Stamp Set.
To complete the card, I added three Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems.

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Misty Moonlight, Summer Splash, and Daffodil Delight. I decided to make a masculine, birthday card, with the Under The Moon Stamp Set. Was my stamp set choice influenced by the names of the colors, Misty Moonlight and Summer Splash?
First, using a Spotlight On Nature Die, I cut a circle from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I stamped a round, Under The Moon stamp in Misty Moonlight Ink on the white circle. This was followed by stamping the “ocean” in Summer Splash Ink, and placing it beneath the circle. To add the color Daffodil Delight, I colored the moon with a Stampin’ Blend. The jumping dolphins were stamped in Misty Moonlight Ink.
Jumping Dolphins
Next, I cut a second circle with another Spotlight On Nature Die, and attached the two together with Dimensionals. They were glued to Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, which was glued to a Summer Splash card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Prior to gluing, I embossed the white layer with the So Swirly Embossing Folder, to mimic ocean water.
A “wavy” sentiment seemed appropriate, and I found the label in Adoring Hearts Dies. After cutting, I used an Adoring Hearts stamp to stamp “just for you” in Misty Moonlight Ink, and attached it with Dimensionals.
I was inspired by this week’s color combination. Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Share your design and tag #GDP457 to play along with this challenge. You could be chosen as the winner!

This week’s Global Design Project is to CASE the designer, which happens to be me. That means ” copy and selectively edit” a card I designed last May. I would love to see how you case my card; just use #GDP456, and post on Facebook or Instagram.
For my CASE, I used Citrus Blooms Dies for a wreath surrounding the sentiment. I also duplicated the colors, using ink with Blending Brushes, creating lighter shades.
Friendship Wreath
First, I used a Citrus Booms Die to cut the wreath from Basic White Cardstock 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″. Using the die-cut as a stencil, I placed it against Basic White Cardstock, the same size. Then, I applied Mossy Meadow Ink and Lost Lagoon Ink with Blending Brushes. After coloring, I used another Citrus Blooms Die to cut the outside border. This was attached, with Dimensionals, to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Next, I applied Petal Pink Ink to Basic White Cardstock, and used a Friends For Life Die to cut the word “friend.” Basic White Cardstock was used to cut the “frame” around “friend,” which enabled me to raise the word on Dimensionals.
The “star blossoms” were cut with Citrus Blooms Dies from scraps of paper colored with the Blending Brushes. I glued them in place, adding Iridescent Pearls, and dotting the “i” on friends.
