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. You know those designs where it's tough to decide which side to display, or when you feel guilty about gluing down a side that will never be seen again. 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

Corner Pop-Out Fun Fold Card with the Stampin' Up! Forever Florals Bundle
Some cards get opened, read, and set on the counter. And then there are cards that make people stop and go "okay wait, open this again." A fun fold does that every single time. This corner pop-out design is one of those cards that feels like a little experience — and the Forever Florals Bundle made it absolutely gorgeous to boot. Project Details & Inspiration We folded the Petal Pink Cardstock along three score lines and made sure to burnish the edges really well so the card

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

Revisiting a Favorite: Valentine's Day Heart Candy Box with the Endless Love Bundle
Talk about a fun handmade Valentine's Day gift! This is actually a throw back project that we made six years ago! It was so easy to recreate with the Endless Love Bundle , that we had to give it a go again. This heart box is a perfect way to make Valentine's Day a little more special than just giving those candies you get at the store. Project Details & Inspiration To make this specific Valentine's Day Candy Box, we used Pretty in Pink Cardstock, Basic White Cardstock, and t

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

A Playful Valentine Scene Card Using the Valentine Kisses Bundle
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

A Sweet Valentine Card Using the Valentine Kisses Bundle
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

Peek-Through Valentine Fun Fold with the Valentine Kisses Bundle
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

Bear Hugs & Kisses Fun Fold Card (feat. the Valentine Kisses Bundle)
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
