Welcome to Global Design Project’s weekly challenge! For today’s sketch design, I chose to feature a returning favorite, the Snow Wonder Stamp Set with coordinating, Snow Time Dies. Who doesn’t love an adorable snowman?
Sketch for a Snowman
I began the scene with a favorite pattern of Harvest Meadow Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. After gluing this to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I cut a 3″ X 3″ square from the same designer paper. This was backed with Thick Basic White Cardstock, 1/8″ larger, for a 1/16″ border, and attached to the card front with Dimensionals. Then, I used a Seasonal Swirls Die to cut a wreath from Champagne Foil, and glued it to the square, leaving the right side free.
Now for the focal point! I stamped the Snow Wonder snowman in Soft Suede Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and used its Snow Time Die for cutting.
Next, I stamped the sentiment, “Happy Christmas,” in Balmy Blue Ink, and used its die for cutting. The snowman wanted to hold the sign, so I glued it to his belly before attaching him with Dimensionals.
For a bit of blue sparkle, I added a few Artistry Blooms Sequins. Don’t you love self-adhesive sequins?
I also decorated the envelope flap by embossing it with a Meadow Moments Embossing Folder, which you can see in the first photo.
Here is the fun sketch for you to use for inspiration. I’d love to see your creation in our gallery.

I just received the “early-release” Eden’s Garden Bundle, and was excited to use one of the dies for today’s card. This is a special, “early-release” from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog with more details below.
I’m in love with this rectangular wreath! To give the wreath variation in color, I used a green pattern of Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper.
Pumpkin Wreath
I chose Basic White Cardstock for the background of my wreath, 5 1/2″ X 4″, and stamped the sentiment in the center.
“If friends were pumpkins I’d pick you” is from the Pretty Pumpkins Stamp Set, stamped in Stazon Black Ink.
Prior to gluing the layer to a Crumb Cake card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I gave it texture with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
The five, little, pumpkins were cut with a Seasonal Swirls Die from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock, and attached with Dimensionals.
A bow of Bumblebee Gingham Trim was the final touch, attached with a Glue Dot.
Eden’s Garden will be available November 2nd, two months before the new Spring catalog is available. You’re going to want this “early release!”
There are 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.

Who doesn’t love star-shaped Christmas cookies? Keep reading for the “paper” recipe.
I began by mixing up some cookie dough from Cinnamon Cider Cardstock, and using Christmas Trimmings Dies for cutting. This gave me two sizes of cookies. I’ll take the larger, please.
Christmas Cookies
Next, the cookies were given texture with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. As my mouth was watering, I iced the cookies with Thick Basic White Cardstock, cut with Christmas Trimmings Dies. For added decoration, I used Christmas Trimmings Dies to give the cookies Cherry Cobbler berries and Mossy Meadow holly leaves.
The cookies are on a mat of Tidings of Christmas Designer Paper, cut with the second largest Stitched Rectangles Die. Prior to placing the cookies, the striped mat was glued to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
The sentiment is on Thick Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 3/4″, with a flagged end. “Christmas” is from the Snowman Season Stamp Set, stamped in Cherry Cobbler Ink. “Cookies” is from the Love You More Than Die Set, cut from Cinnamon Cider Cardstock.
To complete the recipe, I glued the larger cookie flat, and placed the sentiment on Dimensionals, along with the smaller cookie. I made an extra cookie, because I couldn’t wait to take a bite!
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
