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!

Leave a comment

GIf you love a cheeky birthday card, this class is for you! I just wrapped up my latest Card Class To Go, featuring the brand-new Not 29 Anymore stamp set — packed with playful, age-defying sentiments perfect for birthdays with a wink. 🥳

I paired it with the fabulous Birthday Treats Mix & Match Ephemera for easy, coordinated accents, and finished each card with Online Exclusive Petunia Pop 1/4″ Iridescent Ribbon and Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots.

“Not 29 Anymore” – With a lattice background, watercolour cupcake ephemera and a stitched circle sentiment.

“Free Cake! I mean… Happy Birthday” – Featuring a watercoloured cake ephemera piece from the Birthday Treats Mix & Match Pack , bold embossing for the sentiment and a sneaky trick to extend the banner die.
