Have you ever played around with spinners? The kind you add behind an element so it actually spins? We tried it on this Ferris wheel card we made with the Boardwalk Fun Bundle, and it made the card ten times cuter! Project Details & Inspiration We made this card with a Pool Party Cardstock base. Then we layered on various sizes of the Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper and Basic White Cardstock to build out the background. The coordinating Boardwalk Fun Bundle was perfect

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

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

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,

This window bay fun fold card has been on our minds for awhile! It's actually been a few years since we made this fold last. When we looked at this pattern of Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, we knew we wanted to display the entire thing. That's why this fun fold is perfect to put your designer series paper to use! Project Details & Inspiration To make the bay window fun fold, we started with the Real Red Cardbase and layered on five strips of the Celebratory Sips Desi

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

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 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 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

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

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

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

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…

Purple aurora skies and silhouetted pine trees are a combo we’ll never get tired of. For this Z-fold card, we pulled out the Light & Wonder Bundle  and the Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper  and leaned into rich color, clean layers, and a simple fun fold that looks impressive without taking all afternoon. This card is all about that winter night sky. The Lights of Aurora DSP does the dramatic swirls of color, and the Light & Wonder dies add that sharp black treeline that

Winter crafting always brings its own kind of calm, and this card leans right into that feeling. We reached for the Snowflake Kisses Bundle and the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper, and the whole project instantly took on that crisp, wintry charm we love this time of year. The soft botanicals, the teal tones, the little berries sprinkled throughout—everything works together without demanding perfection from you. It’s the kind of card that looks detailed but doesn

Some cards just radiate joy the moment they’re opened, and this one might be the happiest project on our craft table right now. The Creative Haven Bundle pairs perfectly with the hobby-inspired patterns in the Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper, and together they create a sweet, heartfelt card that celebrates the friends who make life lighter. This tri-fold design gives you a whole extra surface to play with, which means we get to show off way more of the adorable paper: yarn,
