Z-Fold Cards are always a signature way to make a card fun without a lot of work! Especially when it's just a small piece in the center of the card like this one. Project Details & Inspiration To make this card, we started off with a Pretty Peacock card base and layered on a piece of Peaceful Garden Designer Series Paper. For the center Z-Fold, we folded a piece of Basic White Cardstock along two score lines then adhered to the card base. We decorated it with two pieces of th

So, we get it! The Match Day Bundle is great if you love soccer. But if you're looking to get more versatility out of it, just focus on the design elements that aren't blatantly soccer themed. At least, that's what we tried to do with this thank you card! Project Details & Inspiration To make this card, we started off with a Garden Green card base. We cut four pieces of A Wonderful Match Designer Series Paper and adhered them to a layer of Basic White Cardstock. After that, w

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

Decorating fun fold cards are always the best because there are so many different sides! There are endless possibilities and combinations that you can try, whether that's designer series paper (like this) or even embossed pieces of cardstock. Project Details & Inspiration To make this card created two Basic White Cardstock panels to form the card base. We adhered each end of the two panels together which gives this card the diamond shape! The card was decorated with panels of

This new Filled with Sweetness Bundle was on our wish list the moment we saw it! Being that we're in the middle of winter, we're loving how bright and fun these colors are and can't wait for summer days ahead when we can make our own jam. Project Details & Inspiration To make this card we started off with a Strawberry Slush card base and layered on an embossed (with the All in a Row Embossing Folder) Basic White Cardstock piece. We then added on three panels of Strawberry Slu

This card is all about the focal point. We used the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and Nature Walk Designer Series Paper to build a bold, circular design that anchors the entire card front. By layering simple shapes and keeping the color palette muted, the details do the work without feeling busy. It’s an easy layout that leans naturally masculine and works well for birthdays, congratulations, or thoughtful everyday cards. Project Details & Inspiration The layered card started off

We used the Nature’s Symphony Bundle and Nature Walk Designer Series Paper to create this thank you card with a bold, geometric layout and a clean, structured feel. The strong lines and rich, nature-inspired colors make this design stand out while still being easy to recreate. It’s a great example of how we can change up the layout and get a completely different look while using the same coordinating products. Project Details & Inspiration The layered card started off with a

This thank you card was inspired by a card we saw Angela Wilson-Meyer create and features the Nature’s Symphony Bundle paired with the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper for a layered design with a calm, natural vibe. The soft neutrals, organic imagery, and subtle texture make this an easy layout to dress up or keep simple—perfect for having on hand when you need a thoughtful card in a pinch. Project Details & Inspiration The layered card started off with a Very Vanilla card b

This one started with a scrap pile and a “wait… don’t throw that away yet” moment. Using the Banner Sayings Bundle  and Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper , we leaned into bold panels, warm color contrast, and a sentiment that does exactly what it says on the card. No fancy tricks, no overthinking—just strong layers, a little texture, and enough shine to keep things interesting. This is one of those cards that feels good to make and even better to send, especially when

Thank you cards are one of those things we swear we’ll always have on hand… and then suddenly realize we’re down to one.

This card hits that sweet spot with bold color, playful imagery, and a layout that keeps things simple. It’s bright, happy, and perfect for so many little moments—tucked into a gift, slipped into an order, or dropped in the

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

There’s something really satisfying about a thank you card that feels intentional, not just “grabbed from the stack.” This one leans into that idea with a full aurora sky from the Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper  and a layered pine forest cut with the Light & Wonder Bundle . The result is a winter scene that does all the talking before the sentiment even kicks in. We let the paper be the star here. That sweeping Northern Lights print sets the mood right away, and then

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.
