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

For today’s card, I had so much fun playing with the Ommm…My Gosh Stamp Set from Unity Stamp Company and turning it into a cheerful mini slimline card with lots of personality. I started by stamping the adorable yoga lady onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb Cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink , then colored her in using my Triblend Markers . I chose marker colors to coordinate with the pattern papers I had pulled, which always makes the finished card feel extra

One of my favorite ways to stretch my supplies is by looking at dies with fresh eyes, and today’s project is a perfect example of that. This shaped slimline card gift card holder  started with the Coffee Mini Album Die Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps , but instead of building an album, I used the pieces to create a fun coffee-themed card base. I pulled colors directly from the Dreaming of Coffee 4x9 Pattern Paper Pack , cutting the album pieces from coordinating cardstock so eve

Today’s card is a clean and layered donut card  that’s sweet, playful, and has just the right amount of shine—without any messy glazes or specialty tools. I used the Mouse Sprinkle Donut Die Set , Fairy Tale Phrases Die Set , and the I Love Theme Parks 6 x 6 Pattern Paper Pack  from Scrappy Boy Stamps  to create this fun storybook-style design. The colorful patterns paired with soft pinks and browns give this card a cheerful, polished look that works beautifully for birthdays

Sometimes the easiest way to spark creativity is to start with one solid layout and let your supplies do the rest of the work. For today’s clean & layered cards, I used the same basic layout on all three designs and simply tweaked a few details to give each card its own personality. The Rainbow Village 6 x 6 Pattern Paper does so much of the heavy lifting here, adding instant color and interest without feeling busy. Pairing those patterns with the Rainbow Village Birds Embos

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

If you love stretching your crafty stash, this cheerful birthday card is such a fun way to turn Christmas stamps into something completely new. I started by stamping the teddy bear, robot, two presents, and the adorable elf popping out of a gift from the Santa’s Workshop Stamp Set  by Scrappy Boy Stamps . After coloring everything with my Ohuhu Brush Markers , I pulled patterns from the Love The Mouse 6x6 Paper Pack  and matched my markers to the bright reds, blues, and yello

Today I’m sharing a fun helmet-shaped birthday card  that’s perfect for any all-star in your life! I used the Football Helmet Mini Album/Card Die Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps to create this bold red card base, and I have to say—the shape alone makes such a statement. To bring the design to life, I paired it with the Cute Kids I Love Sport Stamp Set  and the matching Outline Dies . The little football player was stamped onto Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb cardstock  wi

If you love a fun fold that looks fancy but comes together quickly, this Accordion Fun Fold Card with a Hidden Inside Flap is such a treat to make. The gorgeous Rainbow Village 12x12 Pattern Paper  from Paper Rose Studio  does most of the work with its bold colors and playful artwork, and keeping the pattern lined up across the folds creates that seamless “wow” moment when the card opens. You’ll start by trimming your patterned paper to 4" x 12" and then cutting it down to 4"

Today I’m sharing a sweet little project from my monthly Gingerbread Greetings Series, and this one is all about simple layers and warm kraft tones. I started by stamping the adorable Santa from the A Little Ho Ho Ho Stamp Set  onto kraft cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink , then die-cut him with the Nested Postage Labels & Tag Etched Dies  from Spellbinders. Coloring him with my Ohuhu Brush Markers gave him that soft, cozy look I love for holiday cards. Once he was r

There’s just something extra special about a handmade Christmas tag, and this little mouse-shaped cutie might be one of my favorites yet! I started with the Mouse Ears Mini Album Die Set  to create the shaped base, then reached for the Christmas Carol 6×6 Paper Pack  and chose the gorgeous Christmas street-scene pattern to set the holiday mood. That stitched mouse head outline frames the background so sweetly, and once the base was ready, it was time to bring in the star of t

Every year when the holiday rush hits, I find myself reaching for projects that look special but don’t take all day to create.

Yesterday I got to be on the Scrapbook.com YouTube channel sharing my project for this month’s Craft Remix, and I’m so excited about this one. The Christmas Stocking Bundle has been sitting on my desk for a couple of weeks, and every time I walked by it, I kept imagining all the different ways I could mix and match the adorable rub-ons, patterned papers, and stocking dies. You know how sometimes one idea turns into three before you even start cutting paper? That was me with

Gift cards are always a great go-to, but let’s be honest—sometimes they can feel a little impersonal. So why not give them a handmade touch that makes the presentation just as exciting as the gift inside? That’s exactly what inspired today’s project. I wanted to create something that felt special, interactive, and surprisingly easy to make, and the Flip Open Present Die Set  from Scrappy Boy Stamps  was perfect for the job. These cards look like little wrapped gifts right on

Every year when I start on my Christmas cards, I find myself drawn back to those classic holiday scenes that make you smile before you even open the envelope. You know the kind—bright colors, a touch of shimmer, and sweet little critters sharing the spotlight. Today’s card is one of those happy designs that came together almost by accident. I was pulling out my Lawn Fawn Christmas Before ‘n Afters  Stamp Set for a different idea when I realized how perfectly it would pair wi
