Throwback Thursday: Frogs, Sass & GDP505 Colours

It’s time for Throwback Thursday, and this week I had a giggle while crafting! The inspiration? The Global Design Project #505 Colour Challenge—featuring Strawberry Slush, Pretty Peacock, and Old Olive—and the hilariously snarky Birthday Banter stamp set (yes, it’s wood-mounted and still fabulous!).

This week’s card features:

A sentiment heat embossed in white on a Pretty Peacock cardstock.
Textured Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder background for a playful feel
A pop of Strawberry Slush in the Faux Linen Ribbon, coordinating Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems, as well as Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends to colour the froggy lipstick. 🐸💄

The design uses two Stylish Shapes Dies circles: one for our glamorous froggy duo and another for the cheeky sentiment. The result? A card that’s equal parts silly and sweet—perfect for a birthday that celebrates survival with style.

💡 Why You’ll Love This Throwback:

That lipstick-wearing frog duo? Pure gold
Combines bold colour with nostalgic humour
Showcases how old stamps still have tons of personality
Great for friends with a wicked sense of humour!
