We went full aurora mode on this card. Blackberry Bliss cardstock, bold panels of Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper, and a clean focal sentiment from the Light & Wonder Bundle all team up for a fun-fold design that looks fancy on display but still folds flat for mailing. This card is all about movement and layers. Those staggered panels show off different sections of the aurora artwork, so every tilt of the card gives you a new peek at the color shifts. The “Embrace the…

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

Bright aurora patterns plus bold magenta cardstock make this card feel instantly celebratory. For this design, we reached for the Light & Wonder Bundle and the Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper and built a clean, layered layout that puts color and texture right in the spotlight. This project is one of those “stash-friendly” layouts that works any time you want to use up strips of Designer Series Paper without the card looking like a leftovers project. The Lights of Auror

Purple aurora skies and silhouetted pine trees are a combo we’ll never get tired of. For this Z-fold card, we pulled out the Light & Wonder Bundle  and the Lights of Aurora Designer Series Paper  and leaned into rich color, clean layers, and a simple fun fold that looks impressive without taking all afternoon. This card is all about that winter night sky. The Lights of Aurora DSP does the dramatic swirls of color, and the Light & Wonder dies add that sharp black treeline that

There’s something really soothing about winter cards that lean into texture, and this one is the perfect example. We mixed a snowy Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper panel with detailed die-cut snowflakes and an embossed background, and suddenly the whole card took on that quiet, bundled-up feel. It’s simple, it’s calm, and it works beautifully for anyone who loves a winter greeting that isn’t tied to a holiday. We brought in the Snowflake Kisses Bundle for the sen

Winter crafting always brings a sense of calm, and this card fits right in with that slower, cozier pace. We mixed three coordinating prints from the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper and added a soft vertical ribbon, then finished everything off with a sentiment from the Snowflake Kisses Bundle. It’s simple, steady, and perfect for sending a little warmth during the colder months. The layout has a clean structure that really lets the DSP shine. Snowflakes, pine s

There’s something extra comforting about winter crafting, maybe it’s the deeper colors, maybe it’s the soft textures, or maybe it’s because we get to sit inside with warm socks on while the wind does its thing. Either way, this card leans straight into that cozy-season energy. We paired the Snowflake Kisses Bundle with the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper, and the end result is a layered design that feels warm and wintry without getting fussy. Those little DSP pa

Winter crafting always brings its own kind of calm, and this card leans right into that feeling. We reached for the Snowflake Kisses Bundle and the Elegant Pine Snowflakes Designer Series Paper, and the whole project instantly took on that crisp, wintry charm we love this time of year. The soft botanicals, the teal tones, the little berries sprinkled throughout—everything works together without demanding perfection from you. It’s the kind of card that looks detailed but doesn

This card uses a simple diamond-layer layout that gives the center panel a nice focal point without adding extra steps. The Creative Haven sentiment sits comfortably with the bath-and-body illustrations from the Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper, and the mix of warm browns, soft whites, and clean shapes keeps everything neat and easy to look at. It has a calm, steady feel—nothing dramatic or busy—just a solid, thoughtful design. Project Details & Inspiration We started things

Some cards just radiate joy the moment they’re opened, and this one might be the happiest project on our craft table right now. The Creative Haven Bundle pairs perfectly with the hobby-inspired patterns in the Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper, and together they create a sweet, heartfelt card that celebrates the friends who make life lighter. This tri-fold design gives you a whole extra surface to play with, which means we get to show off way more of the adorable paper: yarn,

There’s something ridiculously comforting about a good stack of books, a warm drink, and a soft color palette… so naturally, this card came together feeling like a big supportive hug in paper form. We pulled out the Creative Haven Bundle again because the sentiments are perfect for anyone who needs a little “you’ve got this” boost—whether they’re starting something new, pushing through a tough week, or just juggling life like the rockstar they are. Paired with the Hobby Haven

Every year around this time, we look around our craft studio and realize something: We’ve collected an embarrassing amount of amazing supplies that deserve to be in someone’s hands. Not sitting on a shelf. Not waiting for “someday.” Not tucked behind that one bin we pretend isn’t there. We’re talking retired Stampin’ Up! goodies that are perfectly good, still totally adorable, and ready to go live their best creative life somewhere they’ll actually be used. So this year, we’

The Creative Haven Bundle has such bold, friendly sentiments, and pairing it with the Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper was basically like handing your project an instant personality upgrade. This card has that clean, layered look we love: just enough detail to feel polished, but not so wild that your workspace ends up looking like a glitter tornado rolled through. It’s bright, cheerful, and perfect for all those “you really are the best” moments. Whether you’re making it for

There’s something about the holidays that makes me want to tuck little surprises everywhere—on desks, in stockings, on pillowcases… honestly, nowhere is safe. And this adorable candy holder box made with the Jolly Delivery Bundle is exactly the kind of project that feeds that festive mischief. It’s tiny, it’s charming, and it holds Ghirardelli squares like it was born to do so. This little envelope-style treat box is one of those projects that looks fancy but comes together i

Some cards are cute. Some are practical. And some pull double-duty and make you feel like the most organized, thoughtful holiday elf on the planet. This gift card holder made with the Jolly Delivery Bundle definitely falls into that last category. We love a project that looks polished and intentional but secretly takes almost no time at all—and this one is chef’s kiss. You get the charm of a handmade card plus the ease of gifting a gift card, all wrapped up in bright, happy p

Some cards are cute on the outside and then absolutely show off when you open them. This one? Yeah… she’s a show-off. And we love her for it. This pull-out accordion-style card features the Jolly Delivery Bundle, and it’s packed (literally) with personality. From the outside, it looks like a sweet little Christmas present—complete with that big red bow. But once you open it? Surprise! A whole parade of adorable holiday images unfolds like the happiest little mail-themed story

If there’s one thing we love about Christmas crafting, it’s that everything suddenly feels extra cozy, extra nostalgic, and—let’s be honest—extra cute. And this week’s project using the Jolly Delivery Bundle checks every single one of those boxes. This bundle has such charming artwork that it practically begs to be turned into a happy holiday scene… so of course we leaned right into that energy. This card brings those small-town Christmas vibes to life—think little shops lit

Okay, let’s be real, Christmas crafting is basically the adult version of baking cookies for Santa. There’s glitter instead of flour, adhesive instead of frosting, and zero chance of burning anything in the oven. This Homemade Treats Bundle card is serving up all those sugary-sweet vibes with a fun interactive twist! We went bold and bright with Blushing Bride and Real Red for a look that’s totally festive but also a little modern and unexpected. It’s giving peppermint frosti

You know it’s officially the holiday season when your kitchen smells like sugar, spice, and everything nice… and your craft table looks like it’s been hit by a blizzard of cardstock and glitter.

If you’ve ever caught yourself licking the spoon while baking holiday cookies, this card is basically you in paper form. It’s got that sweet, sugar-dusted charm that makes your kitchen smell like cinnamon and gingerbread magic, all thanks to the Homemade Treats Bundle from Stampin’ Up! The sentiment alone (“It’s beginning to taste like Christmas”) sets the stage for pure holiday joy. We went for a softer color palette this time, think frosted sugar cookie vibes with Pool Part

When it comes to holiday crafting, we’re all about the projects that bring that instant cozy Christmas feeling—the kind that pairs perfectly with hot cocoa, fuzzy socks, and maybe a Hallmark movie running in the background. We used the Homemade Treats Bundle to whip up this festive little number, and let’s just say… we’re obsessed. Between the adorable gingerbread men, the candy cane details, and that cute oven mitt (how can something that tiny be so stinkin’ cute?!), it’s th

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.
