Can we just take a moment for this purple? Because wow.

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

Thinking of You Card Using the Forever Florals Bundle
Is there anything more cheerful than soft florals and fresh greens together? This card gave us all the spring vibes the moment it came together, and we've been staring at it on my desk ever since. Sometimes a little pop of color and a heartfelt sentiment is all it takes to make someone's whole day and that's exactly why we love what we do here!

Pop-Up Diamond Fun Fold Card with the Filled with Sweetness Bundle
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.

Boardwalk Fun Bundle Roller Coaster Card for Birthdays & New Adventures
We're living for this roller coaster stamp set! Especially because you can die-cut a roller coaster cart to sit on the tracks. This card brings out the sparkle from the Boardwalk Fun Bundle since we added some die cut stars and rhinestones (plus, you have the twinkle in the Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper too!). This card is great for anyone who is celebrating a new adventure, or if you to send birthday thrills, encourage someone through a big life moment, or simply rem

Textured Elegance with Florals in Bloom

Pairing it with the simple Petunia Pop flowers from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper is just chef's kiss đ¤ 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

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

A Two-Flap Fun Fold Card Using the Florals in Bloom Suite
The blues and greens in this card really pop with the Petunia Pop flowers (maybe thatâs why thereâs âpopâ in the name đ). This fun fold card doesnât really have a specific name, but itâs 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

A Masculine Card Design Using the Natureâs Symphony Bundle
This card is all about the focal point. We used the Natureâs 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. Itâs 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

Masculine Panel Z Fold Card Using the Natureâs Symphony Bundle
For this card, we used the Natureâs Symphony Bundle and Nature Walk Designer Series Paper to create a Panel Z fold card with a fun, interactive twist. We actually got inspiration to make this card from a card our upline, Rachel Tessman (Stamp Your Art Out), made! The clean lines, neutral patterns, and wood-tone die cuts give this design a subtle masculine feel, making it a great option for birthdays, thank you cards, or just-because notes. Itâs a simple fold that adds intere

Consider Yourself Hugged: A Banner Sayings Card with Splash of Sparkles DSP
This one started with a scrap pile and a âwait⌠donât throw that away yetâ 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 overthinkingâjust 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

A Real Red Window Bay Fun Fold Card with Fabulous Sayings
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.

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

Sending Thanks in Timid Tiger with Fabulous Sayings
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 đ). We're thinking it's going to be "up there" on our list, probably even close to the Subtle Embossing Folder

Diagonal Joy Fun Fold Card with the Sweet Bugs Bundle
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 weâve made a hundred times. Enter the Diagonal Joy Fun Fold , which immediately had us smiling before we even finished assembling it. Thereâs 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

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 âlook at me from across the roomâ card. Just something gentle and thoughtfulâthe kind of card you make when youâre thinking about someone specific while youâre 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.

A Thoughtful Blue Card with the Lovely Arrangements Bundle
This was one of those cards that came together while we were talking and cutting paper at the same time. No plan, no sketchâjust grabbing pieces that felt right and stacking them until the layout clicked. The Cloud Cover background was already embossed with the Lovely Stripes 3D Embossing Folder , the skinny Designer Series Paper were sitting nearby, and that sentiment was on the stamp block before we even really talked about it. We ended up loving how steady this one feels.

T-Shaped Fun Fold Card with Friendly Foliage & Brushed with Beauty DSP
We had the Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper out on the table, and it was doing that thing where itâs so pretty you almost donât want to cut it. Almost. Then we remembered: hoarding designer paper is not a personality trait weâre 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 âthinkin

Simple Elegance with the Friendly Foliage Bundle
Some cards speak softly but still say everything that matters. Thatâs exactly what this card does with the Friendly Foliage Bundle and Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper. Itâs warm, calm, and a little bit earthyâlike a quiet walk outside after a long day (except this one wonât get your shoes muddy). This design leans into subtle contrasts: deep brown tones paired with soft neutrals, clean lines next to organic patterns, and just enough texture to make the layers stand

A Floating Tent Card That Stands Up: Friendly Foliage + Brushed with Beauty DSP
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 someoneâs 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
