I love finding ways to stretch a stamp set beyond the first card idea that comes to mind. It’s easy to look at a new stamp set, choose one image, create a card, and then move on to the next project. But what if that same stamp set could give you five completely different handmade cards? That was the idea behind this Halloween cardmaking project.

I love a fun fold that looks more complicated than it really is, and this Corner Flap Gate Fold definitely falls into that category. For this Halloween card, I wanted the fold itself to be part of the design rather than simply a different way to open the card. The combination of the deep Galaxy pattern paper, the little Halloween cat, and the cluster of cotton flowers creates a card with plenty of visual interest before you even open it.

I love a card that proves you don’t need a complicated layout to make a big impression. This clean and simple Halloween card started with that idea: let a few well-chosen stamped images, bright coloring, and a little bit of scoring do the work. The result is a playful Halloween scene that feels finished without adding layers and embellishments just for the sake of adding them.

One of my favorite parts of making seasonal cards is finding ways to use familiar images in a slightly unexpected way. For this Halloween card, I wanted to move beyond the traditional orange-and-black color combination and create something that felt spooky without being overly dark. The result combines fall imagery, a starry background, bold pattern paper, and a sweet little Halloween character for a card that has plenty of detail while still feeling clean and layered.

Halloween cards are one of my favorite places to play with atmosphere. You can take a handful of stamped images, add some color and ink, and suddenly you have a little world happening on the front of a card. That was exactly the idea behind this Halloween card featuring the ghostly cat, potion bottles, mushrooms, moon, and stars from The Rabbit Hole Designs. Rather than trying to make every image the star of the show, I wanted to create a scene with a clear focal point and a

I love a card that looks more complicated than it really is, and this Halloween pinwheel card is exactly that kind of project! The folded centerpiece creates an eye-catching focal point without requiring a complicated collection of dies or embellishments. For this project in my Halloween Card Series 2026, I combined stamping, simple alcohol marker coloring, and patterned paper to create a fun fold card that has plenty of personality while still feeling balanced and easy to re

One of my favorite things about cardmaking is finding that sweet spot between a background that adds interest and a stamped image that still gets to be the star of the show. Patterned paper can be beautiful, but it can also compete with your focal point if we're not careful. On this friendship card, I wanted to use a fairly bold patterned paper while still keeping the little dragon front and center.

There's something about a humorous friendship card that never goes out of style. Whether it's celebrating a lifelong friend or sending a little encouragement to someone who appreciates your sense of humor, a card that brings a smile is always worth making. I love creating cards that combine playful images with witty sentiments because they're memorable, personal, and often become keepsakes.

There's something special about creating a card that makes someone laugh before they even open the envelope. Friendship cards don't always have to be elegant or heartfelt—sometimes the best ones are a little quirky, a little unexpected, and full of personality. That's exactly what inspired this project featuring the August New Release from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

It may be the middle of summer, but I love taking a break from seasonal heat to create a Christmas card or two. There’s something refreshing about pulling out holiday stamps, rich colors, and festive designs when they aren’t competing with the busy holiday season. "Christmas in July" is also the perfect opportunity to experiment with new techniques and build up your handmade Christmas card stash before December arrives.

There’s something about Christmas cards that brings me back to the basics of why I enjoy cardmaking so much. While it's tempting to reach for lots of embellishments and specialty techniques during the holidays, I often find that combining a fun stamped image with beautiful patterned paper creates a card that feels festive without becoming overwhelming. For this card, I reached for The Rabbit Hole Designs Santa Says Stamps & Dies Bundle and let the cheerful Santa take center s

One of my favorite things about Christmas cardmaking is finding unexpected ways to create a festive design. While traditional reds, greens, and snowy scenes will always have a place on my craft table, sometimes it's fun to step outside those familiar colors and try something completely different. That's exactly what inspired this card featuring the new Santa Says Stamps and Die Bundle and Galaxy 6x6 Pattern Paper Pack from The Rabbit Hole Designs.

Father's Day cards can sometimes feel a little challenging to design. Many of us have collections of florals, cute critters, and everyday sentiments, but finding ways to create masculine cards that still feel fun and personal can take a bit of creative thinking. That's one reason I enjoyed creating today's card. It combines playful images, bold color, and a simple layout that allows the focal images to do all the heavy lifting.

For today's card, I was inspired by an underwater theme and wanted to create a design that felt cheerful, whimsical, and full of movement. Using products from The Rabbit Hole Designs along with some of my favorite coloring supplies, I combined stamping, alcohol marker coloring, ink blending, and patterned paper to create a card that feels layered and detailed without becoming overwhelming.

There’s something about soft florals and delicate background patterns that always feels perfect for Mother’s Day cards. I wanted this card to have a clean and layered look while still feeling warm and detailed, so I focused on combining a subtle stenciled background with a brightly colored floral image. Sometimes a card only needs one strong focal point and a little supporting texture to feel complete, and this design was a good reminder of that.

There’s something really special about a clean and simple card that still feels layered and full of personality. I’ve found that when I keep my layout straightforward, it gives me more room to play with small details—like texture, contrast, and coloring. That’s exactly what inspired today’s friendship card. I wanted something bold, easy to recreate, and just a little bit playful… because let’s be honest, that lion is hard not to smile at.

There’s something about masculine cards that always nudges me to think a little differently. I don’t reach for more “stuff” or extra layers—instead, I tend to focus on texture, contrast, and strong focal points that feel intentional and clean. For this card, I wanted something that felt bold but still easy to recreate with supplies already sitting on my desk. I also find that masculine designs are the perfect place to lean into playful sentiments and unexpected details. A

If you’ve ever sat down to make a card and completely stalled out at the color stage… you are absolutely not alone. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a stamped image ready to go, markers in hand, and still couldn’t decide what colors to use. That kind of overwhelm can take all the fun out of creating

I’ve been in one of those “use what I already have” moods lately… you know the kind where you start digging through your cardstock scraps and suddenly feel like you’ve discovered a hidden treasure. That’s exactly where this card began. I had a pile of colorful scraps on my desk and wanted to turn them into something cheerful, playful, and a little unexpected—and these adorable Juju characters from The Rabbit Hole Designs were the perfect fit.

There’s something about a new release that instantly gets my creative wheels turning—but what I’ve learned over time is that it’s not about using everything , it’s about finding a few ideas that really spark something and exploring them in different ways. That’s exactly what I did with these three cards. I leaned into a mix of clean and simple designs and one playful shaped card, and honestly, it felt like the perfect balance of creativity and intention. Letting the Design Do
