Today I’ve created a card for the Global Design Project’s challenge this week as well as playing with some of the new things that the nice UPS person delivered last week.

Here’s the banner which inspired my card:

I absolutely love the new DSP in the upcoming Occasions catalogue; this is the Birthday Bouquet DSP and I adore the pool party and mint macaron balloons together so it had to be the first piece that I used from this collection. I didn’t want to hide much of the paper at all and so went looking for a small sentiment. This is from the Endless Birthday Wishes set and I stamped it in mint macaron. Then it was a simple matter of cutting it out with the smallest ovals collection framelits (the magnetic platform is so handy to keep everything in place) and cutting out a mat of mint macaron using the next largest oval. I popped the ovals up with stampin’ dimensionals, at first just because I thought the extra dimension was a plus to the card but then my eye fell upon the new bow paper clips embellishments (another sneak peek). Now the extra space made all sorts of sense because I could add a bow. Perfect for a birthday celebration.

If you’d like to be able to get sneak peeks too, just click on the join my team tab over there on the left and join me in the fun.

See you tomorrow,
