Why Choose? This Card Shows Off Both Sides of the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper
This card is one of Kayla's favorites! She came up with the idea a few years back when she wanted to showcase both sides of a piece of designer series paper.

Project Details & Inspiration We started off with a Thick Basic White card base and embossed one side with the Beautiful Patterns 3D Designer Series Paper. We cut a tria

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.

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

Diagonal Joy Fun Fold Card with the Sweet Bugs Bundle
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

Soft & Sweet Love You Lots Card with the Sweet Bugs Bundle
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

Handmade Hello Friend Card Using the Sweet Bugs Bundle
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

Simple Elegance with the Friendly Foliage Bundle
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.
