I am participating in the Global Design Project sketch challenge this week. Loved GDP sketch #154 – it is one I will use over and over.
Once again, I have used some of the gorgeous Designer Series Paper as a focal point for a card. The silver and gold Christmas Baubles just make this card pop. The new glimmer paper is thinner than the glimmer paper we used to carry. It makes die cutting a breeze.
I wanted some bling but did not want to use rhinestones. I used a white sequin and added a gold pearl to the center. Something a tad different.
Thanks for stopping by today. I would love to hear from you so please leave me a comment!
Happy Stamping!

I always enjoy the Global Design Project Challenges. This week it is a CASE the designer challenge. The GDP152 challenge is to CASE Janneke de Jong from the Netherlands. She has such a unique and yet simple style.
Isn’t her card beautiful??
I chose to go with the layout (sort of) and the colors. Gorgeous Grape is my favorite new color this year – so far! I think Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather are both beautiful shades of purple. I had been waiting and wishing for pretty purples! Stamping Up! has really hit the mark with their new colors this year.
Tips for this card:
Colorful Seasons Bundle -The larger purple die cut is from the Colorful Seasons Bundle. This bundle is only available during the month of August. The three stitched label die cuts are perfect for layering.
Stitched Shapes Framelits – The best framelits ever. You can use these for so many card designs.
Bakers Twine– Added to hanging basket adds interest and texture.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Today’s card is based on the Global Design Project #150. I purchased the En Route stamp set and DSP mostly for scrapbooking pages. All those little icons create a fun highlight on scrapbook pages.
I saw this sketch and thought I could make the icons work on a card.
Here’s my En Route card:
Short of busy isn’t it?? This would be a great card for graduation, a traveler or a new job opportunity.
En Route stamp set is perfect for scrapbooking and card making travelers. Making a set work in many different ways is always a fun challenge. I’m glad I figured out a way to use it for both occasions.
Thanks for stopping by today!

Today I am sharing a card I created for Global Design Project #142. It sure feels good to be back participating in some challenges. I have had a summer cold and have not wanted to do anything. Hopefully I will start to feel better after today’s visit to the doctor.
Here is the sketch for this week. Simple but the slant gives it some interest.
Here is my Oh, Darling card:
Look at this sentiment! I knew I had to have this stamp the minute I saw it. I can see it on so many cards and scrapbook pages.
Old Meets New
To create this card, you will be mixing an older stamp set, Beautiful You with new Designer Series Paper and this fabulous sentiment. I love when you can mix and match with our stamp sets.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Today I am playing along with the Global Design Project #138 sketch. I needed some sympathy cards and this sketch gave me a starting point.
Click HERE to link see all the design team cards. Great inspiration for this sketch.
I went with monochrome colors for a soft and sweet sympathy card. I like Whisper White or Very Vanilla for sympathy cards. Every once and awhile I may use a light pink or blue. Soft and simple are my usual go to. It is always hard to make sympathy cards, so I do like to have a few in reserve. Do you keep them in your stash or do you like to create for each occasion?
Here is my Sympathy card:
All Very Vanilla with a tiny bit of Crumb Cake for an accent. I am glad this set, Flourishing Phrases will be in the new catalog. It is perfect for weddings, sympathy, and birthdays. Love a set that is multipurpose.
Don’t forget the Occasions Catalog is ending May 31 along with all the retiring products. Click HERE to see the retiring products.
Did you watch the Royal Wedding today? It was lovely. I so enjoyed seeing all the pretty colors, flowers and the wedding couple seemed so happy. I wish them all the best. I might have to take a nap after getting up so early though!
Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful Saturday!

What a busy weekend! I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Local OnStage Event here in Atlanta.
The Friday night event was CenterStage where a delicious meal was served. We were spoiled with lots of free goodies (new stamps, ribbon, etc.) and some awesome training. We also got to see the NEW Annual Catalog. You will not be disappointed-that is all I can share!
Saturday was spent swapping cards, hugging new and old friends, watching demonstrations, playing with new products, and having tons of fun. One last team dinner Saturday night capped off a wonderful but tiring weekend. I had to take a nap after church (smile).
Several of my team members attended OnStage. Here is a group shot of some amazing ladies.
Global Design Project Challenge
Today I am joining the Global Design Project #132 CASE the Designer. The designer to CASE is Stesha Bloodhart. She always makes such lovely cards!
I decided to case her color palette; soft blues, yellows, green, and crisp white.
I have been obsessed with one-layer cards lately. I like when the card base is one layer and the top section/layers are the “card” part. Does this make sense??? Maybe the photo will make it clear.
This card uses Eastern Beauty stamp set and Eastern Medallions Thinlits.
Here is how you can make this card:
Cut a card base 5 ½” x 4 ¼” – Pear Pizzazz
First Layer cut 5 ¼” x 4” – Pool Party
Run pool Party piece through Big Shot with Oh My Stars embossing folder
Cut small layer 4” x 3” – Pear Pizzazz
Cut Whisper White layer 6 ½” x 2 ¾” Score at 2 ¾” & fold.
Stamp star using Daffodil Delight. Brush with Wink of Stella for some shine. Die cut with thinlits.
Cut Medallion pieces with Thinlits – Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight
Stamp sentiment at the bottom of note card piece.
Add faux bow and assemble card using adhesive and dimensionals.
Write a note inside, sign, place in an envelope and send it to someone special!
Thanks for stopping by today. Stop back in the next few days to see the retiring items and maybe a sneak peek at some new products!
