This week’s Global Design Project is a fun color challenge, using three 2024-2026 In Colors: Peach Pie, Shy Shamrock, and Petunia Pop.
I chose this pretty, little, flower, from Wild Flower Designs to show off the colors. The flowers were first stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, then colored with Stampin’ Blends, and cut with their Wild Flower Design die.
Wild Flowers
The flowers are framed with Basic White Cardstock, cut with an Unbounded Love die. This adorable die cuts the frame, and the center, at the same time. After cutting, I glued the flowers and frames on Basic White Cardstock, 4 5/8″ X 3 1/4″.
“Sending happy thoughts” is from the Wild Flower Designs Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink. After stamping the sentiment, I attached it to the card front with Dimensionals.
The card base is Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, layered with 2024-2026 In Color 6″ X 6″ Designer Paper in a Shy Shamrock pattern. I cut the DSP 1/16″ smaller, so it would have an even edge. To complete my project, I added three In Color Shimmer Gems in the three challenge colors.
See the instructions below, so you can join the challenge with your creation.

For this week’s Global Design Project I chose a “Distinktive” stamp set, You Are Beautiful, from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. By stamping-off the leaves and berries, I was able to achieve a lighter shade of Old Olive Ink on the Soft Sea Foam Cardstock. Stamping-off means inking your stamp, then stamping two times without re-inking. After stamping, I used the second largest Perennial Postage Die for cutting.
“You are a shining light”
Next, I used Textured Floral Dies to cut the branch (Old Olive Cardstock) and berries (Calypso Coral Cardstock), and doubled them for thickness.
“You are a shining light” is from the You Are Beautiful Stamp Set, stamped in Old Olive Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock, and cut with the second smallest Perennial Postage Die. I glued the berries to the sentiment label, along with a 1 5/8″ X 1/4″ strip of Calypso Coral Cardstock.
The background is Country Woods Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, embossed with the Timber Embossing folder, and glued to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Prior to gluing the green stamped layer to the embossed timber layer, I tied Linen Thread around the green layer, and added a bow. Then, I glued the die-cut branch, and attached the sentiment label with Dimensionals. To complete the design, I added three Brushed Brass Butterflies.
Krista Frattin’s creative card was my inspiration. Now it’s your turn to get creative and CASE Krista. Read below to see how you can enter your card in our gallery.

Do you remember the truck we all loved so much? The Trucking Along Stamp Set and Punch are still available in Online Exclusives. After cutting, I used the “two-step” stamp to color the truck with Pecan Pie Ink. Then, I highlighted the truck using Stampin’ Blends in four colors: Basic Black and Gray Granite (tires), Pecan Pie (spots on truck), and Pool Party (windows).
Thoughtful Journey Truck
The background is a fabulous pattern of Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, 5 1/4″ X 4″. After gluing it to a Pecan Pie card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I added a touch of road with Pecan Pie Ink. You have to look closely to see it.
This was definitely looking like a masculine card, and I found “Happy Father’s Day” in the Trusty Tools Stamp Set. I stamped it in Pecan Pie Ink on Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, and used a Hearts & Hugs Die for cutting. For extra detail, I used a Sending Love Die to cut grass, which was glued along the top of the sentiment label, before attaching it with Dimensionals.

If you like bright colors with a modern vibe, you’ll love Full Of Life Designer Paper! It really caught my eye when first looking through the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. I found a colorful pattern that worked well with this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge. I cut six rows across, and 9 rows down, 2 1/2″ X 3 3/4″.
Friends For Life Thank You Card
The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, given texture with the So Swirly Embossing Folder. 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 Friends For Life Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with a Happy Little Things Die.
For a little sparkle, I added five, Iridescent Adhesive-backed Discs. I had to angle the card, so you could see the shine.
Here is the sketch. Now get creative, and join our challenge. Read below to find out the changes happening at Global Design Project.

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Petal Pink, Moody Mauve, and Pretty Peacock. I thought the colors would work well with our new, Seaside Wishes Bundle.
The Seaside Wishes Bundle comes with a hybrid embossing folder, which enabled me to emboss and die-cut the sand dollars at the same time. After cutting I used a Blending Brush to add a little Petal Pink Ink. I love how realistic they are!
Sand Dollars
The background was stamped in Pretty Peacock Ink with the Drizzling Droplets Stamp, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. After cutting, I glued it to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and added additional sea life from the bundle.
“You absolutely made my day,” is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set, stamped in Pretty Peacock Ink, and cut with a Delicate Forest Die. After attaching the sentiment label with Dimensionals, I embellished my design with several Flat Pearls, as a final touch.

For this week’s Global Design Project, I’m excited to share a few of my favorite products from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. This sunburst design is from Full Of Life Designer Paper. The pack has all the colors of the rainbow, with a modern vibe, and you’re going to love it!
I cut the 6″x6″ paper to 4″ X 5 1/4″, and embossed it with the Dotted Circles Embossing Folder. It was an experiment, and I love how it turned out! Don’t you? After embossing, I glued the DSP to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Full Of Life
The centerpiece is a framed sentiment, created with the Unbounded Love Bundle. This bundle has 16 dies to frame 25 sentiment stamps! I stamped “Hope,” and “is believing in a brighter tomorrow,” in Shaded Spruce Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used an Unbounded Love die for cutting. Then, I used the same die to cut Granny Apple Green Cardstock, making a frame for the sentiment.
Once the framed sentiment was glued in the center of the card front, I attached three Brushed Brass Butterflies, and my quick & easy card was complete.
I was inspired by Kayla Renee. Look for all of the Global Design Project Designers on Facebook and Instagram. Share and tag #GDP444 to play along with this challenge.
