This week, we are excited to bring you a brand-new Global Design Project Sketch Challenge! Our latest challenge showcases a stunning combination of fresh, bright colors and a sneak peek at the upcoming Thankful Garden Bundle, available starting March 4th.
Introducing the Thankful Garden Bundle
The Thankful Garden Bundle is a must-have for any paper crafter. It features two large, floral images, versatile sentiments, and additional decorative elements. This bundle offers endless creative possibilities for your handmade cards and projects.
One of the standout sentiments in this set is “You make a difference” – a beautiful message that pairs perfectly with the elegant font. It’s ideal for expressing appreciation and sending thoughtful, heartfelt messages.
Card Measurements for Your Crafting Convenience
Whether you work with A4 cardstock (centimetres) or Letter cardstock (inches), here are the measurements to recreate this card:
Thick Basic White Card Base:
- 21cm x 14.8cm – Scored at 10.5cm (A4 size)
- 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ – Scored at 4 1/4″ (Letter size)

Why You’ll Love the Thankful Garden Bundle
- Versatile Floral Designs: This bundle includes two large floral images that can be coloured using a variety of mediums like watercolours, alcohol markers (blends), and pastels.
- Decorative Masks: The included decorative masks make it quick and easy to add beautiful shading and depth to your floral images. Achieve a professional, layered look effortlessly!
- Coordinating Dies: The bundle also features coordinating dies, including additional leaf dies that allow you to add texture and dimension to your projects. For this card, I die-cut the leaves in Basic White and blended Garden Green ink for added depth.
- Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper: This suite includes the gorgeous Lovely Garden Designer Paper, which combines a fresh palette of Basic Black, Blueberry Bushel, Crushed Curry, Garden Green, Fresh Freesia, and Melon Mambo.
- Added Texture with Embossing: To elevate the design further, I embossed the designer paper using the new Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, also releasing on March 4th.
