There’s something about spring that always pulls me back to clean and simple cardmaking. Maybe it’s the fresh colors or the feeling of starting new again. Hi friends, it’s Rick, and today I’m sharing a card that came together with that exact mindset—light, cheerful, and easy to recreate. This little flower cart design is one of those ideas that works beautifully for a Mother’s Day card or a simple spring hello, and I love how just a few thoughtful choices can make it feel spe

Have you ever pulled out a product that was clearly designed for one season… and wondered, could this work for something completely different? That was exactly my thought when I reached for this train die set ( Christmas Train Die Set ). It’s one I would normally associate with winter and Christmas cards—but with a few thoughtful changes, it turned into the sweetest little Easter scene.

In the video, I walk through how I used the Palette Scout to guide those decisio

Every year when the holiday rush hits, I find myself reaching for projects that look special but don’t take all day to create. Gift tags are one of my favorite ways to add a handmade touch without adding stress, and these stocking-shaped tags quickly became a new favorite. They’re simple, polished, and festive, thanks to the Nested Stocking Die Set and a mix of patterned papers and rub-ons from Scrapbook.com . If you’ve ever wanted something cute and cohesive for your gifts

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
