For this week’s Global Design Project, we were given Stesha Bloodhart’s Christmas card for inspiration. Her beautiful card gave me the opportunity to use my favorite little bird from the Birds and Branches Stamp Set, which I stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink, and cut with its Birds & More die.
Christmas Bird
The bird is perched on a branch of Basic White Cardstock, sponged with Mossy Meadow Ink, and cut with a Pinecone Die. The snipped section you see is actually “left-over” from a card I had previously designed. You know how that happens, right?
Next, I used the largest, plain, Layering Circles Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and gave it texture with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. Then, I backed the white circle with Mossy Meadow Cardstock, cut with the largest, scalloped edge, Layering Circles Die, and placed it on Dimensionals.
The background is Neutrals 6X6 Designer Paper in a Crumb Cake plaid, 5 1/4″ X 4″, with a distressed edge. Stesha uses this technique often, which I accomplished with the edge of my Paper Snips.
The card base is Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
“Merry Christmas” is from the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set, stamped in VersaMark on Mossy Meadow Cardstock, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder, and set with the Heat Tool.
I used our new “early-release” Eden’s Die for cutting, which you’ll be able to order tomorrow, November 2nd. You’ll want the entire Eden’s Garden Bundle!!!! Details below.
Click on Stesha’s card to see how the other designers cased her card. Then, you can case it, and share it in our gallery.
Eden’s Garden has specialty papers and gems exclusive to the early-release, and available only while supplies last. But, the stamp set and dies, pictured below, will be in the new catalog.

Product List
Nice take on Stesha’s card, Su. I love the neutral background paper, pretty bird, and how you squeezed the sentiment on that perfect decorative die. Beautiful! Enjoy your day!
Thank you, Hilda! The “squeezing” was made more difficult by the rubber stamp and clear VersaMark, but I love that die!
