This week’s Global Design Project is a sketch challenge, and I’m excited to give you another sneak peek from the January-April 2026 Mini Catalog. You can’t have too many hearts, and the Endless Love Bundle is fantastic! I began using an Endless Love Die to cut three hearts from Love Notes Mix & Match Designer Paper. This paper is so cute! After layering the hearts with cardstock for thickness, I placed them on Dimensionals.

The background is Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, given texture with the Eyelet Embossing Folder. This layer was glued to a Real Red card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Three Striped Hearts
Next, I used two Endless Love Dies to cut arrows and the sentiment label from Basic White Cardstock. “Hugs & kisses” is from the Endless Love Stamp Set, stamped in Real Red Ink. Before attaching the sentiment with Dimensionals, I cut an arrow in half, and glued it so it looks like it’s piercing the heart.

Here is this week’s inspiring sketch challenge. See how our design team used the sketch. Then, we’d love to see your creation when you post it on social media. Be sure to tag it #gdp526.

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Highland Heather, Cloud Cover, and Lost Lagoon. I began using Branching Out Dies to cut pine branches from Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (Lost lagoon), and 2025-2027 In Color Designer Paper (Cloud Cover). I also cut berries from Perennial Lavender DSP, and pinecones from Cloud Cover Cardstock.

Branching Out for Global Design Project
Next, I used the largest Branching Out Die to cut Perennial Lavender DSP, and the second Largest to cut 2025-2027 In Color DSP. These are the same papers I used for the smaller pieces. After gluing them together, I attached them with Dimensionals to a Highland Heather card base, 8 1/2′ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. Then, I glued the branches, berries, and attached the pinecones with Dimensionals.

“Warmest Winter Wishes” is from the Delicate Pines Stamp Set. I stamped it in Highland Heather Ink on 2025-2027 In Color Dsp, and used a Textured Notes Die for cutting. Then, I attached it to the card front with Dimensionals. The final detail was adding three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

We’d love to see how you use this color combination, so please share with social media, and tag it #gdp525.

For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE our designer, Cordula De. We’d love to see what you create, so please tag it with #gdp524 when you share it on social media.

It was such fun finding the elements to create a CASE of Cordula De’s design. I began with two, Petals of Beauty Stamps, stamping in Poppy Parade Ink and Granny Apple Green Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the second largest Textured Notes Die for cutting.

CASE the designer
Next, I used the same, Textured Notes Die to cut Pool Party Cardstock, which I embossed with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. Both layers were glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment, “Many Thanks” is from the Gathering Moments Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and used a Textured Notes Die for cutting. Prior to attaching the label with Dimensionals, I glued fern branches to the back. The fern branch was cut with a Beautiful Motifs Die from Pool Party Cardstock.

To make my design sparkle, I added three, Holographic Resin Dots, and brushed the red petals with Wink of Stella.

This week’s Global Design Project is a theme: “Brrr,cold.” Please join in the fun, and create a winter themed project. Then, post it on social media, and tag it #gdp523, so everyone can see it.

I began my winter card by stamping snowflakes, from the Delicate Pines Stamp Set, on Beautiful Bokeh Designer paper. I used two colors of ink: Fresh Freesia for the larger stamp, and Bubble Bath for the smaller stamp. After stamping, the largest Branching Out Die was used for cutting, which I layered with Bubble Bath Cardstock for thickness. Then, I used the So Swirly Embossing Folder to give it texture.

Next, I used a Delicate Pines Die to cut the middle, stamped, snowflake. Prior to re-attaching the snowflake with Dimensionals, I added pine branches to the back. These were cut with a Delicate Pines Die from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used a Branching Out Die to cut sprigs from Silver Foil, and glued them in place.

Warmest Winter Wishes
“Warmest Winter Wishes” is from the Delicate Pines Stamp Set, stamped in Fresh Freesia Ink, cut with a Textured Notes Die, and glued on top of the snowflake. After attaching the art piece to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems, as a final touch.

Brushed With Beauty
Next, I used the 4th largest Textured Notes Die to cut Very Vanilla Cardstock, and gave it texture with the Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder. Then, I glued it to the center of the card front. The three flowers were cut with a Petals Of Beauty Die from Brushed With Beauty DSP, attached with Mini Dimensionals, and topped with Pearls Of Beauty.

“You’re a great friend” is from the Words Of Beauty Stamp Set. I stamped it in VersaMark on Brushed With Beauty DSP, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and used its Words Of Beauty Die for cutting. It was layered with cardstock for thickness, prior to attaching with Dimensionals, and my sketch design was complete.

I’m featuring new products from a favorite Online Exclusive, Brushed With Beauty Suite, which will be available tomorrow, November 4th. I began by cutting three flowers, using a Petals Of Beauty Die, from Brushed with Beauty Designer Paper. Then, I cut three pieces of greenery, using another Petals Of Beauty Die, from Granny Apple Green Cardstock.

The background is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the third largest Branching Out Die. This was layered on a pattern of Painterly Pears Designer Paper, cut with the largest Branching Out Die. Both layers were glued to a Petal Pink card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

After gluing the greenery in place, I attached the flowers with Dimensionals, and added Black Rhinestone Jewels (retired) to their centers. The sentiment, “You’ve been on my mind,” is from the Words Of Beauty Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Words of Beauty Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. I hope you enjoyed a sneak peek of this gorgeous suite!
