This week’s Global Design Project is a theme challenge: “baby.” I chose Storybook Moments for my baby card, and used the second largest Textured Notes Die to cut this adorable, designer paper.
Storybook Moments Baby Card
Next, I used the largest Textured Notes Die to cut Basic Beige Cardstock. After gluing the two together, I glued them to a Basic Beige card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The darling, bunny was cut from another sheet of Storybook Moments Designer Paper with its Storybook Friends Die.
“Welcome little one” is from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set. I stamped it in Crumb Cake Ink on Basic Beige Cardstock, and used the smallest Textured Notes Die for cutting. After layering the bunny for thickness, I glued him to the sentiment label, and attached it to the card front with Dimensionals. I added three, Antique Pearls as a final touch, to this very simple card.
Now, it’s your turn to make a “baby” card. Remember to use #GDP496 when sharing it with social media, so we can find it.

I love sketch challenges! For this week’s Global Design Project sketch challenge, I thought it would be fun to give the Textured Notes Bundle some bright colors. I stamped the small, Textured Notes stamp in five colors: Fresh Freesia, Pretty In Pink, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, and Summer Splash. After stamping, I used a Textured Notes Die for cutting, and placed them on Dimensionals. The background is kept Basic White Cardstock to show off the colors. I used the largest Textured Notes Die for cutting, and glued it to a Thick Basic White card base , 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Colorful Textured Notes
“Wishing” and “you a happy birthday” are from the Delightful Wishes Bundle. I used dies to cut the word “wishing” from Basic Black Cardstock, and the backing from Basic White Cardstock. After gluing them together, I glued them across the five, colorful, Textured Notes die-cuts.
“You a happy birthday” was stamped in Memento Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and cut with a Textured Notes Die. The final splash of color was created with a “bunch” of Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins.
We’d love to see your creation, using this week’s sketch. Remember to add #GDP494, when you share it on social media.

This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green, and Basic Gray. Start thinking of ways to use this color combo. Then, we’d love for you to show off your creation on social media, and tag it #gdp493, so everyone can see it.
I began by using an Elements Of Text stamp with Basic Gray Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping, I used the largest Textured Notes Die for cutting, and glued it to a Basic Gray card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ , folded at 4 1/4″.
Pears and Text
Next, I stamped pears, from the Penciled Pear Stamp Set, in Granny Apple Green. Melon Mambo was added to the pears with a Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend. I lightened, and blended, Melon Mambo with a Stampin’ Blend Color Lifter. It’s a cool tool, if you haven’t tried it.
I also stamped a sentiment from the Penciled Pear Stamp Set, “Just a little note,” in Basic Gray Ink. To complete the card, I added three Basic Gray Pearls.

For this week’s Global Design Project, we get to CASE Kayla Renee’s fun card. I’m using Kayla’s green colors, with a purple focal point, and white on black sentiment.
I began with a Highland Heather card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, which I embossed with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder. Then, I layered it with Coastal Cabana Cardstock, 3 3/8″ X 4 7/8″.
Textured Notes Leaves
The top layer is Basic White Cardstock, cut with the second largest Textured Notes Die. Before cutting, I stamped leaves from the Textured Notes Stamp Set, using Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist Inks.
For my focal point, I used Cheerful Daisies Dies to create a flower from Highland Heather Cardstock, and Basic White Cardstock, that I colored lightly with a Blending Brush and Highland Heather Ink. The sprigs were cut from Granny Apple Green Cardstock.
“Thinking Of You” is from the Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it in versaMark on Basic Black Cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder. After setting it with the Heat Tool, I used its Wonderful Thoughts Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. For a little sparkle, I added three, Iridescent Foil Gems.

This week’s Global Design Project is a theme challenge: Ocean. First, I have to mention the bubbles! They were created with Champagne Iridescent Dots, which are a discounted, “Last Chance” item. It took some patience to adhere them with Liquid Glue, but the Take Your Pick Tool made it much easier. You can see the tool, along with “Last Chance” items, in my Product List below.
Beautiful Bokeh Ocean
I created the ocean with Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″, embossed with the So Swirly Embossing Folder, and glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. The sea life was cut with Beauty Of The Deep and Seaside Wishes Dies from Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper, and glued in place.
“You absolutely made my day” is from the Seaside Wishes Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Beautiful Bokeh Designer Paper, used a Delicate Forest Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.

This week’s Global Design Project is a fun sketch. I hope my design sparks your imagination, so you can join us by posting your card. Don’t forget to tag it #GDP482, so we can find you.
I began with a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, embossed with the Eyelet Embossing Folder. I layered this with eyelet patterned, Country Lace Designer Paper, 2 3/4″ X 5 1/2″. Then, I cut Basic White Cardstock, 2 3/4″ X 3 3/4″, and layered it with “denim,” Country Lace Designer Paper, 1/8″ smaller. This was attached to the card front with Dimensionals.
Eyelet and Denim
Next, I cut a circle from Basic White cardstock, using a Spotlight On Nature Die, and attached a “punch-out” bunny from Storybook Moments Designer Paper.
The sentiment, “Hello Friend,” is from the Storybook Friends Stamp Set. I stamped it in Night Of Navy Ink on Basic White Cardstock, 2″ X 7/16″, glued it to the circle, and attached both with Dimensionals. The beautiful bouquet is a “punch-out” from the Heimloom Arrangements Kit. I added three, Iridescent Pearls, as a final touch.
