Valentine’s Day always feels like a good excuse to slow down and send something thoughtful, even if it’s just a small reminder that someone is loved! We’re big fans of cards that keep that message front and center but also have a "wow" factor to them, and this design fits right into that space. With classic Valentine imagery and soft patterned paper, this card is perfect for sharing hugs, kisses, and a little extra love. It feels warm, familiar, and easy to enjoy which is ex

Valentine’s Day cards don’t have to be complicated to feel special, and this one is a great example of that! We love how this design keeps things simple while still feeling thoughtful and full of heart. The panel-style layout makes it easy to put together, and the patterned paper does so much of the work for you. Using the Endless Love Bundle with the Made with Love Designer Series Paper gives this card a classic Valentine look that feels warm and intentional. It’s the kind o

This gatefold card is a sweet example of how structure and pattern can work together in a really natural way! The fold adds interest right from the start, and the Made with Love Designer Series Paper brings in that soft, heart-filled detail that instantly sets the tone. Paired with the Endless Love Bundle, the design feels classic and thoughtful without needing a lot of extras! With its clean lines and balanced layout, this card works for so many love-filled occasions. It’s a

This card started with us wanting just a little something different ; not a wild, twisty fold that needs a cheat sheet, but also not a standard front-fold card we’ve made a hundred times. Enter the Diagonal Joy Fun Fold , which immediately had us smiling before we even finished assembling it. There’s something about that angled front panel that look amazing right out of the gate. We paired this fold with the Sweet Bugs Bundle and the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper. The s

This card started in a very familiar way: we wanted something calm. Not bold, not loud, not a “look at me from across the room” card. Just something gentle and thoughtful—the kind of card you make when you’re thinking about someone specific while you’re crafting. The Sweet Bugs Bundle was already out (because apparently it lives on our table now), and the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper had one of those subtle patterns that makes you slow down instead of rush. We didn’t p

This card is what happens when we say, “Okay, just one quick card,” and then immediately choose a fold that pops up like it made our plans for the evening 😂 The Sweet Bugs Bundle was already on the table because we were working on this card , the Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper was too adorable to ignore, and next thing we knew… we had ants marching across the front like they were headed to a tiny parade (get it? lol). We also love that this card stands up on its own. It

This card happened during one of those crafting sessions where we were technically  cleaning up… but somehow ended up making another card instead. You know the kind. Paper scraps still on the table, inks already open, and just enough time to “try one more thing.” The Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper was sitting right there, and that little caterpillar kept catching our eye every time we reached for something else. Once the Sweet Bugs Bundle we knew we needed it because, ye

This was one of those cards that came together while we were talking and cutting paper at the same time. No plan, no sketch—just grabbing pieces that felt right and stacking them until the layout clicked. The Cloud Cover background was already embossed with the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder , the skinny Designer Series Paper were sitting nearby, and that sentiment was on the stamp block before we even really talked about it. We ended up loving how steady this one feels.

This card happened because we were in a birthday-card mood and wanted something that felt a little more fun than a standard fold. Nothing wild, just a card that stands up, has some good layers, and feels like you put thought into it. We pulled out the Lovely Arrangements Bundle  and Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper  and leaned into a soft, neutral color palette with plenty of texture. The easel fold gives it that extra something without changing how the card functions, w

This card is proof that a clean layout can still be a show-off. We put the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the table, and those bold Secret Sea leaves immediately stole the spotlight—so we decided to frame it like the main character it is. The goal was simple: create a polished thank-you card that looks intentional, not overloaded. A few crisp layers, a little texture, a soft ribbon detail, and a sentiment you can use for basically anyone (clients, friends, teachers

We’re just going to say it: cards that do more  immediately earn bonus points in our book. This one started as a simple floral idea and quickly turned into a “wait… that opens HOW?” kind of project (those are our favorite kinds, obviously.) This fun fold card was made using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle  and Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper . It’s pretty and yes it secretly holds a gift card. Which means it’s perfect for birthdays, thank-yous, graduations, or anytime yo

Bold opinion right out of the gate: Valentine cards with little scenes always win. There’s something about a card that tells a tiny story that makes people pause before they even read the sentiment and this one definitely has that pause factor. We set out to use the Valentine Kisses Bundle again (because obviously), but instead of focusing on a flat front, we leaned into creating a cozy, storybook-style moment. This card feels cheerful, a little whimsical, and very “happy mai

Tiny confession before we dive in: this card started because we wanted an excuse to use that bear again. You know the one that we've been using all this week; the sweet little bear from the Valentine Kisses Bundle that somehow manages to look bashful, proud, and slightly dramatic all at the same time. We pulled him out, added a bold pink panel, and before we knew it, this Valentine was happening whether we planned it or not. This design leans into what we love most about Vale

Valentine cards don’t have to be fussy to feel special. Sometimes all you need is a bold pop of Real Red, a clean layout that shows off your focal point, and one little detail that makes people stare at the card an extra two seconds (the good kind of stare… not the “what did you do?” kind lol). This one is all about that vertical panel front and center. It’s the star of the show, it does the most and it gives the whole card a modern, graphic look without turning the design in

There are two types of Valentine cards in the world: the ones that are sweet and simple… and the ones that are sweet, simple and quietly show off a little. This one is definitely the second type. We pulled out the Valentine Kisses Bundle and built a fun fold that gives you a cute “peek” on the front, then opens up into a full-on love note situation inside—without turning into a bulky, unmailable beast. It’s bright, happy, and just detailed enough to look impressive… even if y

If you’re anything like us, the moment a new Stampin’ Up! catalog drops, your brain lights up like, “Yep, I need that. Oooh, and that. Wait… is that velvet?!” But if your budget says, “Girl, no,” we’ve got you covered. We’re so excited to bring you our 2026 January-April Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog & Online Exclusives Product Share —a perfectly portioned sampler of all the best  new designer series papers and ribbons in the new catalog. You’ll get to see, touch, and play with e

We had the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper out on the table, and it was doing that thing where it’s so pretty you almost don’t want to cut it. Almost. Then we remembered: hoarding designer paper is not a personality trait we’re trying to keep. So we grabbed the Friendly Foliage Bundle, picked a bold coral base, and made a T-shaped card that shows off the paper and gives the recipient a little surprise when they open it. This fold is one of our favorites for “thinkin

If you’ve ever wanted to make a card that opens in a way that makes people say “wait… how did you do that?” we've got just the card for you! This fold is fun and elegant at the same time, giving you layers, movement, and a little surprise factor without turning your craft desk into a disaster zone. For this project, we paired the Friendly Foliage Bundle with the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper; the greens are rich and earthy, the florals soft and painterly, and toge

Some cards speak softly but still say everything that matters. That’s exactly what this card does with the Friendly Foliage Bundle and Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper. It’s warm, calm, and a little bit earthy—like a quiet walk outside after a long day (except this one won’t get your shoes muddy). This design leans into subtle contrasts: deep brown tones paired with soft neutrals, clean lines next to organic patterns, and just enough texture to make the layers stand

Standing cards will always have our hearts, because they do the most… while using the same amount of paper as a regular card. This floating tent card  is one of those layouts that looks fancy on a desk, feels special in someone’s hands, and still folds down for mailing like a well-behaved little overachiever. For this one, we kept it clean and classy with the Friendly Foliage Bundle  and the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper . The soft, brushed pattern gives a warm, n

We went full aurora mode on this card. Blackberry Bliss cardstock, bold panels of Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper, and a clean focal sentiment from the Light & Wonder Bundle all team up for a fun-fold design that looks fancy on display but still folds flat for mailing. This card is all about movement and layers. Those staggered panels show off different sections of the aurora artwork, so every tilt of the card gives you a new peek at the color shifts. The “Embrace the…
