CASE-ing Jay Soriano for Global Design Project #GDP488

Leave a comment March 22, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week, I’m playing along with the Global Design Project (#GDP488) challenge with a fun twist—CASE-ing the talented Jay Soriano! CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) challenges are always exciting because they allow us to take inspiration from another designer while adding our own creative flair.

For my card, I used the Adventurous Sky Bundle and the coordinating Take to the Sky 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) to bring a vintage aviation theme to life. I love how the soft gray background, layered clouds, and detailed airplane create a sense of movement!

Here’s the card I created:

Card Details:

✈ Stamp Set & Dies: Adventurous Sky Bundle
🌍 Designer Series Paper: Take to the Sky 12” x 12” DSP
🎨 Color Palette: Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow, Gray Granite
💨 Embellishments: Die-cut clouds for extra dimension

This card is extra special because it’s a Father’s Day card for my dad, who is a retired airline pilot. The Adventurous Sky Bundle was the perfect choice to celebrate his love of aviation, and I paired it with a “Happiest Father’s Day” sentiment inside the card to make it even more meaningful.

The Night of Navy and Gray Granite background creates a timeless, classic feel, while the Mossy Meadow airplane adds a touch of vintage charm. The map-style DSP layers add subtle detail without overpowering the design. I also die-cut the clouds for extra depth, making the plane look like it’s soaring across the card.

I love how this project turned out—simple, yet full of personal meaning! If you’re looking for a great bundle for Father’s Day, masculine cards, or travel themes, the Adventurous Sky Bundle is a must-have.

Leave a comment March 18, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s time for a new Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge (#HSS459), and this one is full of dreamy pastels, elegant florals, and soft natural textures! The colour palette of Lost Lagoon, Petal Pink, and Peach Pie creates the perfect delicate, nature-inspired design.

For this challenge, I created a Bandstand Fold Card, a fun interactive design I learned from Dawn Griffith. This fold adds an elegant touch, making it perfect for showcasing beautiful layers of Designer Series Paper.

Birthday Sunshine & Rainbows for GDP487!

Leave a comment March 10, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

I’m so excited to share my latest creation for this week’s Global Design Project Challenge (#GDP487)! The theme this week is Sunshine & Rainbows ☀️🌈☂️, and I had so much fun bringing this cheerful inspiration to life in my card.

Here’s the card I created:

The Design

I wanted to capture the bright and happy vibes of sunshine and rainbows, so I used the Happiest Day stamp set along with a blend of bold and vibrant colours! The left panel features a rainbow of stars, which I created by stamping the star image repeatedly and blending the colours seamlessly with Blending Brushes.

Here’s the colour lineup I used to create this beautiful gradient:
🎨 Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Peach Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Azure Afternoon, Highland Heather, Fresh Freesia, and Berry Burst!

To add some extra sparkle, I incorporated a strip of Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper and some Iridescent Faceted Gems. The sentiment, ‘Wishing You the Happiest Birthday,’ is heat embossed in white on a Coastal Cabana circle, die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature Dies. And of course, I couldn’t resist adding a popped-up dragonfly from the Happiest Day set—a little extra whimsy to finish it off!

Why I Love This Layout

One of my favourite things about this design is its versatility! By simply changing the colours or sentiment, this layout could work for so many different occasions—think thank you cards, baby showers, or even encouragement notes. The blended background technique is a fantastic way to make any card pop with colour!

Here is a full list of the supplies I used:

Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock $15.50	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock $18.00	Coastal Cabana 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock $15.75	Pastel Ombre Glimmer 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Specialty Paper $16.50	Happiest Day Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) $28.00	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad $11.00

Festive Friday Week 8 – A Classic Christmas with More Wishes & Take a Bow DSP

Leave a comment February 28, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Welcome back to Festive Friday! This week’s card brings classic Christmas charm with bold typography and festive holly details. I used the More Wishes Stamp Set, Take a Bow 6×6 DSP, and the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder to create a clean and modern holiday design. ❄️❤️

Let’s take a closer look at this week’s festive creation! 🎄

The Card Design

This design is all about layers, texture, and festive details! The sentiment is fussy cut and placed at an angle, adding a dynamic touch to the layout. The holly leaves were carefully trimmed from the Take a Bow DSP, bringing in a natural element that ties everything together. Layered patterned paper creates a fun backdrop, and the crisp border of the Nested Essentials Die with rounded corners frames the sentiment beautifully. The Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-backed Berries add the perfect sparkle, making the holly come to life with a festive shimmer.

Card Highlights:

Fussy-cut sentiment angled for a playful layout
Holly elements hand-cut from DSP for a coordinated embellishment
Layered DSP panels add depth and contrast
Embossed background for subtle texture
Nested Essentials Die with rounded corners for a polished frame
Sparkling adhesive-backed berries for a festive finishing touch

Supplies Used

Here’s what I used to create this card:

Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock $15.50	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock $18.00	Take A Bow 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper $17.00	More Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) $34.00	Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad $12.25	Nested Essentials Dies $47.00
Snowflake Sky 3 D Embossing Folder $15.00	Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive Backed Berries $12.25	Paper Snips $16.50	Multipurpose Liquid Glue $8.25	Stampin' Dimensionals $6.00	Mini Glue Dots $10.00
Take Your Pick $16.50	Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine $177.00	Basic White Medium Envelopes $15.00

Add All to Cart

Step-by-Step Instructions

Create the Card Base: Cut Basic White cardstock to 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, score at 4-1/4”, and fold.
Emboss the Background: Use the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder on a 4″ X 5-1/4″ Basic White panel for a subtle textured backdrop. Adher the panel to the card base with Liquid Glue.
Layer the DSP: Cut two panels of Take a Bow 6×6 DSP at 2-3/4″ X 4″, adhere them to the card front slightly offset for dimension.
Stamp the Sentiment: Ink the MERRY image from the More Wishes stamp set in Real Red and stamp onto the top left corner of the 2nd largest rounded rectangle from the Nested Essential Dies. Then stamp the christmas image on a scrap paper in Real Red Ink, fussy cut and adhere to the die-cut panel using Mini Glue Dots. Adhere this panel to the center left of the card front using Dimensionals.
Fussy Cut the Holly: Trim holly leaves from the Take a Bow DSP and adhere near the sentiment.
Embellish: Add Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-backed Berries to the holly leaves for the perfect finishing touch.

Why I Love This Design

This card is bright, fun, and festive! The Take a Bow DSP brings in cheerful holiday patterns, while the embossed background adds elegant texture. The fussy-cut holly and berries provide a special handmade touch that makes this design feel extra merry! 🎄✨

Let’s take a closer look at this week’s design! 🎄✨

The Card Design

Stamp Set & Dies: Greetings of the Season Bundle (Last Chance List!)
Fancy Fold: Z-Fold layout for added interest
Color Palette: A cool and elegant mix of Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight, and Garden Green

Supplies Used

Add All to Cart

Step-by-Step Instructions

Create the Card Base: Mark a full sheet of Night of Navy cardstock at 3″ down on the right and 3″ up on the left. Then cut lengthwise on that diagonal. Then score at 3” and 6-3/4” to create the Z-Fold. This will create 2 card bases.
Add Designer Paper: Cut tops on a diagonal and adhere pieces of Winter Meadow DSP to each panel of the card base. (2-3/4″ X 3-1/2″ ( front panel), 3-1/2″ X 4-1/4″ (middle panel), 4″ X 5-1/4″ ( back panel).
Stamp & Die Cut: Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White die-cut oval from the Greeting of the Season Bundle. Adhere to the card front using Dimensionals.
Add Greenery: Use Garden Green Ink and a blending brush to apply colour to two Bough Punch cut-outs. Tuck them behind the sentiment and adhere with Liquid Glue.
Finishing Touches: Attach a Navy & Gold ribbon bow to the oval and scatter a few gold sequins for extra sparkle.

Why I Love This Design

Z-Fold cards are simple yet impressive, making them great for special holiday greetings. The Winter Meadow DSP creates a soft, snowy background, while the Greeting of the Season Bundle provides an elegant finishing touch. This is a design you can easily recreate with different colors and papers!
