This week’s Global Design Project is an “animal” theme. We would love to see your animal themed cards, and don’t forget to tag it #gdp551.

I HAD to feature my favorite bear, Winnie the Pooh, on a birthday card.

Silly Old Bear
Winnie the Pooh is sharing the spotlight with his favorite friend, Piglet. They were cut with Sweet Old Friend Dies from Silly Old Bear Designer Paper. After layering them for thickness, I placed them on Dimensionals.

The animals are sitting on Basic White Cardstock, cut with a Sweet Words & Labels Die. After cutting, I stamped it in Crumb Cake Ink, from the Sweet Words & Labels Stamp Set, giving the white frame a detailed border. I layered this on Basic Beige Cardstock, cut with a Sweet Words & Labels Die a size larger. The frames are attached with Dimensionals to Silly Old Bear Designer Paper in a Barely Blush, checked pattern, 4″ X 5 1/4″. The card base is Basic Beige Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

The sentiment, “wishing you good things,” from the Banner Sayings Stamp Set, was stamped in Crumb Cake Ink. The balloon was cut with a Balloon Festoon Die from 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper. And, the string and balloon highlight were cut with Balloon Festoon Dies from Basic White Cardstock.
