Project Details & Inspiration We started with a Gorgeous Grape card base and layered on a piece of Basic White Cardstock that we ran through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder for a gorgeous subtle texture, then added a piece of Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP) on top. The big showstopper is the circle die cut from Gorgeous Grape Cardstock using the Springtime Scenes Dies — it's got that beautiful intricate leaf cutout d

Project Details & Inspiration For this Winged Pop-Up Diamond Card (special thanks to Laura Stranks for the inspo), we started this stunner on a Gorgeous Grape card base and layered on a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock, then topped it with Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper to let all those gorgeous purple florals take center stage. The diamond lattice design came together by cutting several squares from both Gorgeous Grape Cardstock and Perennial Lavender Designer Series

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

Easy layouts are undoubtedly the quickest and most efficient way to create beautiful handmade cards, particularly when you're in the process of making multiple cards for various occasions. These straightforward designs allow you to focus on the creative aspects without getting bogged down by intricate details. This is especially beneficial for events like birthdays, holidays, or thank-you notes, where you may need to send out several cards at once! Project Details & Inspirati

If your favorite color is blue, this card is for you! Or maybe for someone who you know loves the color blue! We're loving how bright this card is with the gorgeous patterns from the Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper. Project Details & Inspiration For this card, we started off with a Blueberry Bushel Cardstock base. Then we added on a layer of Basic White Cardstock, followed by two sections of more Blueberry Bushel Cardstock and Garden Poetry Designer Series Paper. We stamp

Can we just take a moment for this purple? Because wow. There are colors that are pretty, and then there are colors that just stop you in your tracks and this rich violet paired with that dreamy floral DSP is absolutely the latter. Sometimes a card comes together and you think, yeah, I'd keep this one for myself. Project Details & Inspiration For this card, we started off with a Thick Basic White cards base and added a layer of Basic White Cardstock that we embossed with the

We're loving the texture that the Damask Designs Embossing Folder brings! It's the perfect texture to make your cards too super classy. Seriously, look at the background of this card. Pairing it with the simple Petunia Pop flowers from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper is just chef's kiss 🤌 Project Details & Inspiration This card is fairly simple to put together! We started off with a normal card base of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock and embossed one side with the Dama

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

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

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

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

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 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

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 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

This card is proof that a clean layout can still be a show-off. We put the Lovely Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the table, and those bold Secret Sea leaves immediately stole the spotlight—so we decided to frame it like the main character it is. The goal was simple: create a polished thank-you card that looks intentional, not overloaded. A few crisp layers, a little texture, a soft ribbon detail, and a sentiment you can use for basically anyone (clients, friends, teachers

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

There’s something timeless about a handmade thank-you card, especially one that feels as fresh and polished as this design. We used the Pop-Up Petals Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to create this clean and modern layout that still carries all the warmth of a handmade touch. Soft embossed texture, paired with patterned paper and layered squares, gives this card subtle depth without overcomplicating the design. The mix of floral patterns and solid prints from the Floral Charm Designe

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
