Bet you can't pick just one card from Ilina that you love the most! These cards are going to inspire you to grab yourself a pack of Bushel and a Peck Patterned Paper and create something sweet!
A simple card with patterned paper is always fun! The Bushel and a Peck Patterned Paper is full of fun, mod patterns and prints and this little apple sheet is too cute on this card.
A simple strip of patterned paper adds so much interest and color! Ilina clustered some of the small flower stamps around and embellished with Appolonia Sequins. Love this!
Portrait or landscape? Using the same set of Around the Loop Dies, Ilina created an anchor point on these two cards but laid them out in different directions. By picking different colors of patterned paper, these two cards have a different feel even though they are the same overall color combo. I love how she added a pop with the Swirling Leaves Hot Foil Plate to her Bushel Basket card.
A patterned paper card layer base is also a great thing to try. Here it acts simply as a frame. Ilina made her stamped and die cut apples into a pattern as the star of this card.
Go pick-a-pattern, any pattern, and decide how you might integrate it into your next card. There are lots to choose from, so what's your favorite sheet? Or favorite card? Tell me in the comments below!
Brand Ambassador, Ashlee, created the cutest fall cards with the Bushel and a Peck Bundle and we love how she incorporated some of our brand new hot foil products. Let's check out what she was inspired to create!
Using the pumpkin die from the Fall Frames Dies set, Ashlee created three ink blended pumpkins for her card. The Swirling Leaves Hot Foil Plate created a beautiful background for a fun scene.
Using the Woven Cover Plate Die, Ashlee created a cool technique piece. She added ink splatter over her Samba inked cover plate and layered that over a Sauna inked background. This card is warm and perfect for fall.
With the Bushel Basket Die or without? Which do you prefer? The patterned apples in the Appley Every After Stamp Set are so cute inked in a variety of colors.
Pulling in the Bushel and a Peck Patterned Paper makes for a quick and easy card. She added trim with one of the Fall Frames Dies and popped up the stamped and die cut sentiment from the Joyful Thanks Stamp Set.
So many creative ideas to inspire! The products from the Feeling Fall Collection mix and match for endless options!

Do you ever feel stuck in the rut of creating simple flat fold cards? Creating a z-fold card is so much fun and if you have the basics down, you can embellish and make so many designs!
I grabbed the Stitched Nested Hearts Dies and Aquatini Prints Paper as part of the base of my z-fold. I also used the Little Island Cover Plate Die and Float Your Boat Stamp Set to embellish, adding color and cute image elements for this tropical vacation themed card.
When the card is closed it looks so cute…open it up and it's full of surprises! I colored the tree from the cover plate die with Copic Markers and then trimmed it up to fit right on the heart. I tucked the sun inside along with a cute sentiment from the Greetings From the Beach Sentiment Stamp Set.
You can also get out of your card making rut and make a z-fold card! Just click the link above to watch the full instructional demo and get to creating!

Since we introduced our Mini Ink Pads, we've seen many innovative ways to store or display the Minis in crafty spaces. We all have different preferences for organizing or displaying inks as well as different set ups in our craft corners, so here are a few ideas that may inspire you!
Try Playing with Your Current Ink Storage
The original boxes that our Mini Ink Pads came in still work for my organization, with a few changes. I reorganized my Minis in the boxes according to the Color Wheel. Reds are together, Greens, Yellows, etc. I store these boxes in plastic storage containers that fit on my Ikea Kallax Shelves. You can still purchase our storage boxes if you like this option and want to continue storing the minis in this way.
The Mini Ink Pads will also fit in the Organize More Ink Pad Organizers, two in each slot. You could try mixing them in between your full sized pads to keep the color families together or doing them side by side. You could also organize the full sized pads together and all the Mini Ink Pads together.
Our NEW Side Labels include multiple labels for each color giving you options for labelling the full sized, minis on one or both sides. Once you have a configuration you love, you may want to add a spacer behind the minis to make them easier to get them in and out.
Find Storage Bins to Fit Your Space
Our Mini Ink Pads are 1.5″ by 2.75″ and 3/4″ High. With this information on hand and a little math, you are ready to look at options for storing your minis in your space based on the drawers or shelves where you might like to keep them. The internet has a plethora of plastic and acrylic storage bin options that can work for your minis and many are very affordable. You can also find drawer dividers which can be use as designed or inside of storage bins to customize for size.
Our friend, Laura Evangeline, has a fantastic blog post sharing about her craft room organization. She has ideas using acrylic storage bins in her old set of Alex Drawers from Ikea and now in her new custom cabinet drawers. She sourced “eyeshadow storage” bins that work with her minis being stored on their ends which gets more in her drawer space.
Get Creative and Build Your Own!
We love this idea from Lisa Mendoza at Lisa Love Studio. She took a Totally Tiffany Organizer and turned it on its end. With some other custom tweaks, she created her own perfect Mini Organizer. You can see the how to in her video below.
Buy a Specialty Storage Product
Stamp and Storage has a product called the Ink Cube Caddy that you can buy in a CP Mini Sized Option. These are stackable and can also be stored in drawers.
Totally Tiffany makes an assortment of sizes of Buddy Bags and other craft storage brands have a wide assortment of storage and transportable products with different sized compartments. Some of those products may work just right for you and your minis! Just throw a couple in your bag and head out to your favorite local spot for organization and see what solutions you can find!

He brought a package. and it's from one of our CARD MAKERS! We gather round, open the envelope and the squeals and laughs, ooohs and ahhhs that come from the team are a sight to be seen! One day, we really need to get this on film. lol!
Imagine this scene as you check out Melissa's incredible cards created with the Ahoy Matey Bundle. She rocked our boat!
Using the Notecard Frame and Tag Dies, Melissa made her card focal point with tags cut from the Bar Harbor Patterned Paper. The layering up and mixing the patterns is so cute on this otter card.
How about this coloring!? Melissa did some awesome scene building around the critters in the Ahoy Matey Stamp Set. She also used the Lots of Knots Stamp Set and Dies to make a “swimming hole” for her main stamped image. I just love all the details she got onto these.
Can't forget a shaker! The Nova Scotia Sequin Mix with its shimmery blues makes the perfect shaker ocean. A simple frame of patterned paper and fish stamped background and I'd say this card IS otterly amazing!
These cards inspired me so much, I created this otterly amazing card on this Live Stream! I love the layer that the Lots of Knots Stamp and Dies created that anchored (pun intended!) for the otter and friend.
The Scenic Lighthouses Stamp Set was designed with versatility in mind. This two-step stamp set can be used with only solid stamping or you can color the detailed images in. Let's look at some different techniques with this set that don't require any coloring at all!
Cards by Kristie Goulet
Kristie white embossed this gorgeous lighthouse and die cut it. Then she used some ink blending to fill it in with a rainbow of color. Such a simple technique but what wow factor!!
On this one, Kristie stamped the solid images and then embossed the detail stamp over top. The tone-on-tone look of these embossed lighthouses is a show stopper!
Simply going with black and solid color is just perfect. Two-step stamping is such a quick and easy process. But if coloring is your jam…you can do that too! Take a look at the cards below that I created.
