When a new month of Unity kits arrives in my mailbox, it always feels like Christmas morning. There’s something so inspiring about opening that package, seeing the red rubber in all its glory, and letting the creative ideas start flowing. This month, I couldn’t resist going all in. I pulled out the November 2025 Kit of the Month , the Uniquely Unity by Ang Kit , and the Background of the Month Kit —and challenged myself to create seven clean and layered card designs. Each car

Some mornings during the holidays, I find myself needing just one more cup  before I can even think about decking the halls or humming along to Christmas music. That little bit of caffeine seems to turn my “bah humbug” into “fa la la.” So when I pulled out the Don’t Cluck With My Coffee  stamp set from Unity Stamp Company, I couldn’t help but laugh. The sassy chicken holding her steaming cup of coffee perfectly summed up that pre-coffee holiday mood, and I knew she had to st

There’s something about clean and layered card designs that feels timeless—especially during the holidays. I love when a card has just enough detail to catch the eye but still feels light and airy. For this project, I wanted to capture that look using a few of my favorite supplies from The Rabbit Hole Designs—the One Line Santa Stamp Set  and Holiday Background Builder Stencil . This combination gives you the perfect balance of playful whimsy and crisp design, and it’s a grea

Christmas card season is in full swing, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably reached that point where you want to make something a little extra special —something that stands out but doesn’t take hours to assemble. That’s exactly what inspired today’s project: a Double Z-Fold Christmas Card  featuring some beautiful products from Paper Rose Studio . This design looks impressive when standing on display, yet it’s surprisingly simple to put together once you understa

The Case Me A Christmas Card  Video Hop has quickly become one of my favorite holiday traditions, and I’m so excited to be part of the 2025 edition — especially since this is the last one for the year! Every designer in the hop was challenged to CASE (which stands for Copy and Share Everything ) a card from another creator in the lineup, and this time, I had the pleasure of CASE-ing a beautiful design from the incredibly talented Therese Calvird of Lost in Paper . Her style a

The holidays are full of sparkle, music, and magic—but sometimes, a little laughter is the best way to spread Christmas cheer. When I saw the Butt Cracker Fairies Collection  from Scrappy Boy Stamps,  I couldn’t resist turning it into a cheeky, one-of-a-kind Christmas card. After all, who needs Sugar Plum Fairies when you can have these sassy little guys twirling their way across a stage—or in this case, a handmade music box! This card combines a playful sense of humor with a

There’s just something about fall that makes me reach for warm kraft cardstock , a cozy cup of coffee, and a pile of pumpkin stamps. Today, I’m sharing a clean and layered card design featuring the Fall To Go Stamp Set  from Unity Stamp Company —a set that combines all my favorite things about this season: coffee, pumpkins, and that thankful feeling that comes with crisp mornings and cozy afternoons. If you’ve ever wanted to create a card with subtle dimension and texture wit

Who’s ready to add a little shimmer to their Christmas crafting? I’ve always believed that a touch of foil can make even the simplest card design feel magical—and this one-line Santa card from The Rabbit Hole Designs proves it! I love how this project combines modern line art with classic Christmas charm, all wrapped up in layers of red, gold, and sparkle. And the best part? It’s one of those designs that looks  like it took forever, but really comes together quickly once yo

Sometimes clean and simple cards can be the trickiest to design, can’t they? You want something elegant and uncluttered—but not flat or boring. That was exactly the challenge I set out to solve with this project. I wanted to create a clean, square card design that still had plenty of interest and texture without relying on layers or busy backgrounds. The solution came in the form of some of my favorite products from Miss Ink Stamps: the Best Sort Stamp Set , Best Sort Outline
