Boardwalk Fun Bundle Roller Coaster Card for Birthdays & New Adventures
We're living for this roller coaster stamp set! Especially because you can die-cut a roller coaster cart to sit on the tracks. This card brings out the sparkle from the Boardwalk Fun Bundle since we added some die cut stars and rhinestones (plus, you have the twinkle in the Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper too!). This card is great for anyone who is celebrating a new adventure, or if you to send birthday thrills, encourage someone through a big life moment, or simply rem

Textured Elegance with Florals in Bloom
We're loving the texture that the Damask Designs Embossing Folder brings! It's the perfect texture to make your cards too super classy. Seriously, look at the background of this card. Pairing it with the simple Petunia Pop flowers from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper is just chef's kiss 🤌 Project Details & Inspiration This card is fairly simple to put together!

Easy Florals in Bloom Card with Petunia Pop and Night of Navy
This layout does a great job of letting the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper take center stage. The wide panels give those bold florals plenty of room to breathe, which makes the whole card feel clean and well balanced. Pairing the bright Petunia Pop flowers with Night of Navy cardstock adds just the right amount of contrast. It sharpens the design and gives the card a polished look, even though the layout itself stays pretty straightforward! Project Details & Inspirati

A Two-Flap Fun Fold Card Using the Florals in Bloom Suite
The blues and greens in this card really pop with the Petunia Pop flowers (maybe that’s why there’s “pop” in the name 😄). This fun fold card doesn’t really have a specific name, but it’s essentially a card with two front flaps. One of the flaps just happens to be skinnier than the other, which gives the card a little extra movement and keeps it from feeling too symmetrical. This card is a great example of letting coordinated products (like the ones in the Florals in Bloom Su

A Masculine Card Design Using the Nature’s Symphony Bundle
This card is all about the focal point. We used the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and Nature Walk Designer Series Paper to build a bold, circular design that anchors the entire card front. By layering simple shapes and keeping the color palette muted, the details do the work without feeling busy. It’s an easy layout that leans naturally masculine and works well for birthdays, congratulations, or thoughtful everyday cards. Project Details & Inspiration The layered card started off

Masculine Panel Z Fold Card Using the Nature’s Symphony Bundle
For this card, we used the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and Nature Walk Designer Series Paper to create a Panel Z fold card with a fun, interactive twist. We actually got inspiration to make this card from a card our upline, Rachel Tessman (Stamp Your Art Out), made! The clean lines, neutral patterns, and wood-tone die cuts give this design a subtle masculine feel, making it a great option for birthdays, thank you cards, or just-because notes. It’s a simple fold that adds intere

Nature’s Symphony Thank You Card Tutorial with Nature Walk Designer Series Paper
We used the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and Nature Walk Designer Series Paper to create this thank you card with a bold, geometric layout and a clean, structured feel. The strong lines and rich, nature-inspired colors make this design stand out while still being easy to recreate. It’s a great example of how we can change up the layout and get a completely different look while using the same coordinating products.

Revisiting a Favorite: Valentine's Day Heart Candy Box with the Endless Love Bundle

Flip Flap Tri-Fold Thank You Card with Banner Sayings Bundle
Once the Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper hit the table, we knew a standard fold wasn’t going to cut it. That shiny, splotchy goodness deserved some movement, a little drama, and a layout that shows off more than one pretty panel. Enter the flip flap tri-fold. This fun fold is one of those designs that looks impressive right out of the gate! We paired it with the Banner Sayings Bundle for a clean, simple sentiment that lets the paper do the talking (because honestly,

A Celebrate Card with Angled Layers and Banner Sayings
This card started with one simple move, turning things on their side. It’s one of those layouts that feels a little unexpected, like you broke a rule on purpose and it worked out beautifully. Using the Banner Sayings Bundle and Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper , we let shape and spacing lead the way this time. The pops of color peek out just enough, the sparkle catches your eye as you move the card around. Project Details & Inspiration This card is pretty straight fo

Layered Birthday Cheer with the Banner Sayings Bundle
We didn’t start with a big plan here, just a color combo we couldn’t quit and a stack of layers that kept getting better the more we played. One mat led to another and the ribbon landed right where it belonged! Using the Banner Sayings Bundle and Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper , we let contrast do most of the work. Bold purple against soft pink, shiny brushstrokes on the DSP next to subtle texture from the embossing folder, and a clean birthday sentiment tucked in

Consider Yourself Hugged: A Banner Sayings Card with Splash of Sparkles DSP
This one started with a scrap pile and a “wait… don’t throw that away yet” moment. Using the Banner Sayings Bundle and Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper , we leaned into bold panels, warm color contrast, and a sentiment that does exactly what it says on the card. No fancy tricks, no overthinking—just strong layers, a little texture, and enough shine to keep things interesting. This is one of those cards that feels good to make and even better to send, especially when

A Real Red Window Bay Fun Fold Card with Fabulous Sayings

Sending Thanks in Timid Tiger with Fabulous Sayings
Bright and orange!Is there even a better way to say thanks to a great friend? As we're crafting in the middle of winter here in Minnesota, it's fun to get to use these colors because we get to pretend that it's not actually 10 below outside. This card is using our new favorite All in a Row Embossing Folder (if you saw our previous blog post : told you we're obsessed 😂). We're thinking it's going to be "up there" on our list, probably even close to the Subtle Embossing Folder

Fabulous Sayings Birthday Card with the All in a Row Embossing Folder
We're falling in love with the Fabulous Sayings Stamp Set even more after each time we use it.
