Sometimes a card comes together not because it’s complicated—but because the design decisions are clear from the start. That was exactly the case with this floral card using the January 2026 release from The Rabbit Hole Designs . I wanted something that felt fresh and sassy, with enough visual interest to feel special, but simple enough that it could easily be recreated with supplies you already own. This project is a great example of how letting pre-designed elements  do som

There are seasons when I crave all the layers and embellishments—and then there are seasons when I just want my cards to breathe . This little set of winter-themed cards came together during one of those moments when I wanted the coloring to shine, the images to tell the story, and the design to feel calm instead of crowded. Clean and simple doesn’t mean boring, and it definitely doesn’t mean plain. For me, it means being intentional with every choice. For this project, I cre

One of my favorite ways to remove the guesswork from coloring stamped images is to let my pattern paper do the heavy lifting —and today’s Warm Wishes clean & layered card is a perfect example of that approach. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to decide which Copic markers to use, this technique is a total confidence booster, especially for beginner to intermediate cardmakers. For this card, I started with a holiday-themed pattern paper pack  and used it to create a non-holida

Clean and layered cards are one of my favorite go-to styles, especially when I want something quick but still full of personality. For today’s Valentine card, I kept the layout simple while letting the whimsical details shine using products from Pixi Dust Designs. I started with a top-folding A2 card base and added a strip of patterned paper from the Magic World 6x6 Paper Pad along the bottom. That one little layer instantly adds interest without overpowering the design, mak

One of my favorite ways to keep cards clean yet interesting is by layering stencils to create something completely custom—and this card is a perfect example of how fun that can be. I started with the Torn Paper 4 x 8 Stencil  from The Rabbit Hole Designs , lightly tracing the shape onto white cardstock before adding color around the outside of the design. After lining the stencil back up and masking off the colored areas, I layered the Oh Duck 6 x 6 Stencil  right over the to

There’s something about a clean and simple Christmas card that really lets a fun focal image shine, and this Santa sock made me smile from start to finish. I cut all the parts for the Santa Sock from my scrap cardstock using the Snowman and Santa Sock Die Set  from Pixi Dust Designs , which is perfect for using up those leftover bits we all seem to collect. A little ink blending around the edges added just enough depth, and once everything was assembled with liquid adhesive,

There’s something so magical about pairing soft winter colors with colored pencil coloring, and this Winter Hi Card  came together beautifully using the Let It Snow Stamp Set from C. C. Designs . I stamped Elisa onto Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock  with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink  and colored her with colored pencils, which really brings out the cozy, storybook feel of this sweet winter image. After fussy cutting her out, I created a softly shaped background using Chunky A2 Scall

I had so much fun putting together this elegant birthday card featuring the The Queen Stamp Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps! I started by stamping one of the fabulous Queen images onto Neenah Ultra Thick Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink , then brought her to life with my Ohuhu Brush Markers . I matched her colors to the gorgeous patterns in The Author and The Queen 6x6 Paper Pack , which added that perfect royal flair. After cutting her out with the coordinating The Quee

Sometimes you just have one of those days that everything is coming in on you and life stresses you out and your own the verge of a meltdown. Today's card features the fun Meltdown Die Set from Pixi Dust Designs. This die set comes with a cute little sentiment stamps set that's perfect to stamp on the your cards. The sentiment "To The One That Puts Up with All My Meltdowns" is just perfect to put a smile on someone's face. As if the little melted snowman wasn't enough!

Today I’m sharing a pair of clean and simple floral cards I created for the Pinkfresh Studio Delicate Details November Release Instagram Hop , and I have to say, this release lives up to its name in all the best ways. Every piece feels soft, elegant, and thoughtfully designed, which made these cards such a joy to put together. I’ve always loved the look of detailed florals without the time commitment of coloring, so this was the perfect chance to lean into stencils, light in

There’s something so magical about release days, isn’t there? I always feel like a kid flipping through a brand-new box of crayons, ready to dive in and play. The new Pinkfresh Studio Delicate Details Release has that same spark for me. The mix of press plates, coordinating stencils, and dies makes it incredibly easy to create cards that look intricate without requiring hours at your desk. Today I’m sharing two cards I made for the hop, and both designs revolve around combin

Hey crafty friends! Today, I’m excited to share a sweet winter card that all started with a Valentine die set. You know those moments when you look through your stash and realize a die set you love doesn’t have to be limited to just one season? That’s exactly what inspired today’s project. I pulled out the Fox Valentine Box Die Set  from Pixi Dust Designs  and decided to give that adorable little fox a cozy winter makeover. With a few clever swaps and some creative mixing and

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

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

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

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?
