We're living for this roller coaster stamp set! Especially because you can die-cut a roller coaster cart to sit on the tracks.

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 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

Consider Yourself Hugged: A Banner Sayings Card with Splash of Sparkles DSP
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.

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 😂). 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 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

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
