This week’s Global Design Project is a color challenge, using Balmy Blue, Lemon Lolly, and Fresh Freesia. See how our designers used the colors, then create your own design, and hang it in our gallery.

I’ll be giving you a sneak peek of the Country Birdhouse Bundle from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog, because a cute, little, bird from that set insisted on participating in this challenge. Her reasoning was that she is the color of Lemon Lolly, and her name is Lolly, so I HAD to use her.

Lolly’s Ornament

Lolly said all I had to do was stamp her in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, twice, and use her Country Birdhouse Die for cutting. After coloring two birds with Lemon Lolly Stampin’ Blends, I asked about the second bird. She said I needed to fussy cut the wing from the second bird, so I could lift her wing on a Dimensional. I liked her idea!

Next, Lolly said I could use her birdhouse later, because she wanted to make an ornament for this card. We found a large, Stylish Shapes circle die, to make a stencil. I placed this over a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, and used a Small Blending Brush with Balmy Blue Ink for coloring.

The Country Birdhouse Die Set has great flowers for decorating Lolly’s ornament. We cut five flowers from Fresh Freesia Cardstock, and glued them in place.

To hang the ornament, I stamped a chain, from the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set, in Memento Black Ink. Then, I added a Basic Black Cardstock bow, cut with A Country Birdhouse Die.

Lolly wanted to perch on a perfectly shaped, Stylish Shapes label. I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Memento Black Ink, and attached it with Dimensionals. I thought our card was complete, but she said the flowers needed some bling. So, I added Tinsel Gems to the centers of the flowers, and now she is very excited about her ornament.
