In this week’s Live, I played along with the Global Design Project #498 sketch challenge to create a vibrant birthday card featuring the Sweet Jar Bundle—a playful sneak peek at the bundle I am featuring in my upcoming Sweet Jar Virtual Card Class!
Later in the day, I was inspired by the same sketch to create a second project—a gift card holder using the Online Exclusive Poppin’ By Bundle. This bold and fun card is perfect for movie lovers and teens!

🎈 Sweet Jar Birthday Card (Live Video)
I used the Bright & Beautiful DSP (a Last Chance item!) and jar of stamped candles to make a fun, bright birthday card. The iridescent gems finish it off with a little shimmer! This layout is part of GDP498 and shows how you can quickly mix paper and dies for a playful, professional look.

🎬 Poppin’ By Gift Card Holder (Bonus Project)
Later in the day, I kept the creative energy going by using the same sketch to make a gift card holder with the Poppin’ By Bundle. I love the bold red and white stripes, stitched banner sentiment, and popcorn puff details. It’s such a fun card to give!
