Perfect Patterns…Made Easy!!

ErikaGeneral

If you’ve ever tried to stamp a repeating background, you know how hard it can be to keep everything lined up and evenly spaced. Catherine kept running into that same challenge and wanted a way to make pattern stamping easier, more precise, and actually enjoyable. So she set out to design a tool that could pair with the Stencil & Stamp Tool and solve the problem.

The result is the NEW Print & Pattern Tool.

This tool takes the guesswork out of pattern building, allowing you to create evenly spaced, repeat designs in just a few easy steps. It attaches to the Stencil & Stamp Tool and includes both a stamping attachment and a mini stencil attachment, giving you the flexibility to layer, repeat, and build custom patterns with ease. No more shifting, eyeballing, or hoping for the best. Just clean, consistent results every time.

It also comes with a starter pack of geometric stamps and stencils, so you can jump right in and start creating backgrounds, focal points, and even full patterned panels for your projects.

To bring it all to life, we designed a collection that works beautifully with or without the tool. With fresh, modern designs and a playful spring feel, it’s perfect for everything from quick card backgrounds to more detailed layered projects. You can even take it beyond cards and create custom pieces like treat packaging by stamping your own pattern and building from there.

If you love the look of patterned designs but not the hassle of creating them, this tool was made for you.The Print & Pattern Tool is available now, and we can’t wait to see what you create with it. Click here to shop the new Print & Pattern Collection!

You’ve Earned This One…

These badges aren’t just for focal points—they make amazing backgrounds too. Simply stamp them across your card in a mix of colors for an easy, eye-catching pattern. No need to color them in; their crisp design and playful shapes stand beautifully on their own.

Bold Badges & Bright Backdrops

For a more modern, graphic look, try keeping things clean and simple with black-and-white badges layered over a colorful, lively background. You can also stamp them in solid ink onto colored cardstock for a tone-on-tone effect that feels polished, fun, and effortlessly put together.

Color Them In!

If you love coloring, this set is a dream. Grab your favorite markers or try watercoloring for a soft, outdoorsy feel. You can even clear emboss the badges first for extra pop before adding color. However you do it, these little designs are perfect for slowing down, getting creative, and letting the badges truly shine.

It’s So Sad to Say Goodbye…to Ink Colors!

ErikaGeneral

After 10 years and more than 130 colors, it’s time for a refresh. When your collection grows that big, every single shade has to earn its place. Our Color Made Easy system was designed to take the guesswork out of creating beautiful combinations—so every color needs to work seamlessly with the ones around it.

As we’ve refined our color wheel over the years, we’ve tightened up each family to make sure everything blends effortlessly. Some of the retiring colors are still absolutely gorgeous, but they’re just a touch too light, a bit too dark, or not quite in harmony with their neighbors anymore. So we’re letting them go…and this is no April Fools!

If you have favorites on the retiring list, now’s the time to stock up. Ink pads, refills, minis, and coordinating paper packs are all discounted while supplies last.

Say it big with the Big Thanks Die! This bold and eye-catching word die turns any card into a statement of gratitude. Whether layered over colorful cardstock, patterned paper, or a textured background, it’s the perfect way to make your “thank you” pop and leave a lasting impression.

This die reallly stands on it's own to make a fantastic card. Amanda layered hers and paired it with a sheet from the Totally Bloomin' Patterned Paper. Kristie created an accent with some CP Shimmers and the Rick Rack Die.

Erika Post

Creating cards with the Big Thanks Die is all about making your gratitude shine. Mix and match colors, layers, and techniques to craft a card that’s heartfelt, fun, and impossible to miss…because sometimes, a big thanks deserves a big statement.

Layers & Backgrounds- the Card Makers!

ErikaGeneral

Lisa Harrolle

Layers and backgrounds can completely transform a card from simple to show-stopping. Adding depth, texture, and dimension lets your designs pop, highlights your focal points, and gives your creativity room to shine. The right combination of papers, dies, and techniques can take any card from nice to “wow.”

The Noughts & Crosses Dies come in four sizes of rounded corner squares. You can layer them up or use them on their own. Pop them up with foam tape for added dimension. The Channel Stitch Cover Plate die adds instant texture without being too busy or taking away from your cards focal point.

Experimenting with layers and backgrounds opens up endless possibilities. Play with color, pattern, and dimension to find what makes your cards uniquely yours, and watch how these elements can truly “make” your designs come alive.
