This week’s Global Design Project Challenge #GDP507 is all about celebrating the holidays early. I decided to go modern and bold with my Festive Friday creation—featuring a black background, shining gold embossing, and the stunning Most Wonderful stamp set.

✂️ How I Made This Card:

  • Card Base: Thick Basic White
  • Background Panel: Basic Black cardstock stamped with Most Wonderful stamp set – all stamps mounted together
  • Heat Embossing: Versamark ink + Gold Embossing Powder
  • Sentiment: Memento Black on Thick Basic White using the Stylish Shapes dies
  • Ribbon: Gold Mesh Ribbon
  • Embellishments: Loose sequins adhered with liquid glue
  • Adhesive: Stampin’ Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue

✨ Try this technique with your own stamp sets—mounting them all at once makes a bold, custom background that’s perfect for embossing!

Throwback Thursday: Frogs, Sass & GDP505 Colours

Leave a comment

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!

Cheers to Colour! | Global Design Project #GDP504 – CASE the Designer

Leave a comment

I’m so excited to play along with this week’s Global Design Project Challenge #GDP504 – a “CASE the Designer” featuring the incredibly talented Mikaela Titheridge. Her soft colour blending and layout were so inspiring, and I knew I wanted to echo that joyful background and layered look.

For my version, I went bold, bright, and fruity using the Cheers & Sips Bundle – the perfect pick for summer celebrations!

🖌 How I Created This Card:

1. The Background:
I started with a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper and painted three horizontal washes using these vibrant Stampin’ Up! colours:

  • Timid Tiger (top)
  • Strawberry Slush (middle)
  • Lemon Lime Twist (bottom)

I kept the strokes loose and organic for that fresh, summery look. Once dry, I cut the panel using the stitched rectangle from the Textured Notes Dies.

2. Embossed Gate Fold Base:
My card base is a gatefold design using Summer Splash cardstock. I embossed both front flaps using the gorgeous Glass & Gardens 3D Embossing Folder, which adds such an elegant texture to frame the bright centre panel.

3. Stamped & Coloured Elements:
Using the Cheers & Sips Bundle, I stamped the citrus, strawberry, and lime images in Calypso Coral, Secret Sea and Old Olive Inks and coloured them in with Stampin’ Blends (matching the watercolour stripes – Peach Pie for the citrus, Strawberry Slush for the strawberry and Granny Apple Green for the lime).

4. Sentiment & Finishing Touches:
The sentiment, “Cheers – Let’s Celebrate!”, is stamped in Secret Sea and die-cut with the banner from the Stylish Shapes Dies. For a final bit of sparkle, I added a few Holographic Resin Dots.

Want to create this at home? All the supplies I used are listed below – just click to shop!


💡 Why I Love This Card:

It’s bright, playful, and perfect for summer birthdays, BBQ invites, or just saying “cheers” to a friend. I love how the fruit and colours play together and how the embossed gatefold makes it extra special.

Encircled With Love Cards – GDP501 Colour Challenge

Leave a comment

During today’s Live, I shared a sweet and summery card design featuring the Encircled With Love stamp set! I used the GDP501 Colour Challenge trio of Timid Tiger, Petal Pink, and Lost Lagoon to create two cheerful versions of the same layout.

My original sample featured the “Thank You” sentiment from the stamp set, but during the live I swapped it for the sunny “Way to Go!” Both sentiments work beautifully in this layered circle design.

✨ Key Details:

  • DSP: 2025–2027 In Color 6×6 DSP
  • Ribbon: Last Chance Petal Pink Scalloped Ribbon
  • Bling: Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems
  • Colours: Timid Tiger, Petal Pink, Lost Lagoon

💡 Design tip: This layout is super adaptable – swap in any sentiment from the Encircled With Love set and you’ve got a card for any occasion!

📺 Watch the replay here:

🛠️ Here’s a Full List of Supplies Used:


Why I love this card:
This design is simple, elegant, and versatile—perfect for beginners but also great for mass-producing! A quick sentiment swap gives you a whole new card. My original version used the “Thank You” image, and I switched it up live with “Way to Go!” for a completely different vibe.

💡 TIP: Save cardstock by die-cutting the circle layers from the centre of the same Lost Lagoon panel used to mat your DSP! No one will ever know, and you’ll get more out of each sheet.

🐾 GDP499: Animal Theme Challenge

Leave a comment

This week’s Global Design Project theme is all about animals, and I couldn’t resist reaching for the Along These Lines stamp set. The relaxed pose of the tiger really spoke to me, and I loved pairing it with one of my favourite sentiment sets—Beautiful Butterflies. They’re a perfect match for a card meant to lift someone up.

Here’s the card I created:

🧡 Project Details

  • Stamp Sets: Along These Lines (tiger), Beautiful Butterflies (sentiment)
  • Ink: Memento Black
  • Cardstock: Timid Tiger, Coastal Cabana, Secret Sea, and Basic White
  • Embellishments: 2025–2027 In Color Shimmer Gems
  • Embossing Folder: So Swirly Embossing Folder

The tiger and sentiment are stamped in Memento Black on Timid Tiger and Coastal Cabana strips. I layered those on a Secret Sea card base with white embossed panels above and below. This layout gives a grounded look while letting the sentiment really shine.

💬 What I Love About This Card

This design feels like a warm hug. The tiger’s posture is calm and supportive, and the sentiment—“In case you need me… I’m here”—is such a beautiful reminder of connection. The gentle contrast of colours keeps the card soft, not stark.

And honestly, how fun is it to use Timid Tiger cardstock for a tiger stamp?!

✂️ Tips for Recreating This Look

  • Try different colour combos with the same layout—Soft Sea Foam or Bubble Bath could totally change the vibe!
  • Use a stamping platform to help line up your sentiment perfectly across layered cardstock.
  • Emboss your background panels first, then trim them to size so you can adjust for even spacing.
  • Don’t be afraid to mix and match stamp sets—sentiments from one set can beautifully complement the images from another.

Live Replay: GDP498 Sketch Challenge – Sweet Jar Bundle + Bonus Project!

Leave a comment

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!

👉 Watch the Sweet Jar card replay here

🎈 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!

Global Design Project #497 – Colour Challenge

Leave a comment

I’m excited to be back with another entry for the Global Design Project, and this week is a colour challenge—one of my favourites! The combo of Strawberry Slush, Secret Sea, and Darling Duckling is such a cheerful, fresh palette that practically screams birthday fun! 🎉

For this week’s card, I reached for the adorable Sweet Jar Bundle. I love how versatile this set is—you can fill the jar with so many fun elements! This time I used birthday candles to create a playful birthday card that’s both bold and sweet. I placed the jar inside a die-cut circle on a Secret Sea panel, layered over a soft Strawberry Slush tones DSP piece. A few embellishments in coordinating colours and a stitched sentiment banner finish the card perfectly.

Here’s the card I created:

💖 What I Love About This Card:

  • The candles inside the jar feel so festive and unique—like a mini birthday celebration!
  • The bold contrast between the soft background and the crisp Secret Sea die-cut window really makes the jar pop
  • The punch makes assembly quick and simple—perfect for beginners or batch-making
  • This design works for birthdays of all ages

🛠️ Tips for Creating This Card:

  • Stamp the jar and candles first, then punch them out for crisp, clean edges
  • Pop up the punched jar with Stampin’ Dimensionals for added dimension
  • Switch up what you “fill” the jar with for seasonal or themed cards—so versatile!

1 Layout, 3 Cards – Featuring Celebratory Sips DSP!

Leave a comment

This week, I took on the Global Design Project Challenge #GDP496 by CASE-ing the designer with a fun twist: using one layout to create three unique cards – each with a different stamp set, but all showcasing the Celebratory Sips DSP and Holographic Foil Resin Dots!

This kind of layout challenge is my favourite way to spark creativity. It keeps design decisions simple while allowing for endless variation. Here’s a closer look at each card:

🍹 Cheers & Sips Card

Bright, summery, and refreshing! I paired cocktail images from the Cheers & Sips bundle with Soft Sea Foam cardstock and Old Olive DSP. The embossed panel adds just the right texture.

🐷 Party Piggy Card

How fun is this little pig?! The Party Piggy stamp set brings such whimsy to the same layout. I swapped in a cheerful orange stripe for a party-perfect look.

🦋 Beautiful Butterflies Card

This third card has a completely different vibe – rich Secret Sea and sweet Strawberry Slush and Petunia Pop butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies make this one elegant and eye-catching. Same layout, totally different feel!

All three cards use the same:
✔️ Celebratory Sips DSP
✔️ Holographic Foil Resin Dots
✔️ Layout from GDP496
