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,

Some cards are cute on the outside and then absolutely show off when you open them. This one? Yeah… she’s a show-off. And we love her for it. This pull-out accordion-style card features the Jolly Delivery Bundle, and it’s packed (literally) with personality. From the outside, it looks like a sweet little Christmas present—complete with that big red bow. But once you open it? Surprise! A whole parade of adorable holiday images unfolds like the happiest little mail-themed story

If there’s one thing we love about Christmas crafting, it’s that everything suddenly feels extra cozy, extra nostalgic, and—let’s be honest—extra cute. And this week’s project using the Jolly Delivery Bundle checks every single one of those boxes. This bundle has such charming artwork that it practically begs to be turned into a happy holiday scene… so of course we leaned right into that energy. This card brings those small-town Christmas vibes to life—think little shops lit

Okay, let’s be real, Christmas crafting is basically the adult version of baking cookies for Santa. There’s glitter instead of flour, adhesive instead of frosting, and zero chance of burning anything in the oven. This Homemade Treats Bundle card is serving up all those sugary-sweet vibes with a fun interactive twist! We went bold and bright with Blushing Bride and Real Red for a look that’s totally festive but also a little modern and unexpected. It’s giving peppermint frosti

You know it’s officially the holiday season when your kitchen smells like sugar, spice, and everything nice… and your craft table looks like it’s been hit by a blizzard of cardstock and glitter. That’s exactly the kind of merry chaos we love around here! Today’s project using the Homemade Treats Bundle is all about celebrating those warm, cozy baking vibes but in card form. This card design is a fun fold that opens up like a bakery door welcoming you in for a batch of freshly

This cheerful card design celebrates everything we love about handmade paper crafting—colorful florals, layered textures, and a sweet sentiment that says it all. Created with the Pop-Up Petals Bundle, this layout combines easy stamping with bold color choices for a look that feels happy, polished, and heartfelt. We chose a mix of Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss, and pops of Timid Tiger for a combination that feels warm and lively. The floral background paper from the Floral Charm

This project brings together everything we love about handmade cards: beautiful paper, soft florals, and a touch of texture that feels effortless. The Pop-Up Petals Bundle takes center stage, paired with the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper to create an elegant design perfect for celebrating friendship. The layout is a simple fun fold that opens to reveal a warm message, “Grateful for your friendship.” With deep tones of Blackberry Bliss and delicate floral patterns, this c

Okay, let’s talk cozy crafting. You know that sweet spot where a project feels both heartwarming and impressive? That’s exactly what this fall-inspired pop-up card brings to the table. We pulled out the Pop-Up Petals Bundle and paired it with the Gathering Together Designer Series Paper, and honestly, it’s giving total pumpkin patch perfection. The front of the card keeps things classic: warm tones, leafy prints, and a soft bow to tie everything together (literally). But the
