Project Details & Inspiration We started with a Crumb Cake Cardstock card base and layered on a piece of Basic White Cardstock stamped with the leaf images from the Springtime Scenes Stamp Set using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Basics Wow! Embossing Powder in white for that gorgeous tonal effect. The focal point is a Berry Burst Cardstock circle with a Basic White Cardstock circle layered on top using Dimensionals, and we stamped the "You brighten my day" sentiment fr

Project Details & Inspiration We started this card on a Pretty Peacock card base and layered a piece of Basic White Cardstock on top to create a clean mat. From there, we cut two panels of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper — one with the leafy botanical print and one with the gorgeous lavender and butterfly print — and placed them side by side on the white mat, with a thin strip of the watercolor floral print running along the bottom to pull it all together. For the fo

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

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

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

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

Valentine’s Day always brings out the sweetest cards. We love designs that feel familiar and comforting—something you could give to almost anyone and know it would be received with a smile. This card fits right into that space, with classic Valentine details and a message that feels easy and heartfelt! Project Details & Inspiration We started with a Real Red  card base and embossed a piece of Basic White  Cardstock using the Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder  before adhering

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

Valentine’s Day cards don’t have to be complicated to feel special, and this one is a great example of that! We love how this design keeps things simple while still feeling thoughtful and full of heart. The panel-style layout makes it easy to put together, and the patterned paper does so much of the work for you. Using the Endless Love Bundle with the Made with Love Designer Series Paper gives this card a classic Valentine look that feels warm and intentional. It’s the kind o

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 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

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

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

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
