A Fidget Spinner for Crafters: The Never-Ending Card

Monday I shared a Never-Ending (Infinity) Card, and let me tell you… this is one of those projects I had seen before but was always a little intimidated to try. Turns out? It’s way easier than it looksβ€”especially thanks to a fantastic tutorial I found by Karey Titus.

For my cards, I featured the Endless Love Stamps & Dies #167062 along with the Made with Love DSP #167054, and I wanted to share a few helpful tips I picked up while making them.

Tips for Making a Never-Ending Card

β€’ Cardstock colors:
You can use two different colors of cardstock or stick with the same color. If you’re worried about keeping track of direction and orientation, I highly recommend using the same colorβ€”it makes things much less confusing.

β€’ Practice the folds first:
Before decorating, assemble your base pieces and practice turning the card. This really helps you understand how the card moves and makes it easier to decide what should go on each panel. Keep in mind that if it’s not folding and laying out the way you want try flipping the card as it can change the direction of the fold and cuts.

β€’ Sizing is flexible:
I made two different sizesβ€”a 6″ Γ— 6″ card and then used the leftover 5″ Γ— 5″ pieces to create a smaller version. You can truly make this card in any size, as long as you start with a square.

β€’ Scoring measurements:
You’ll score at ΒΌ of the measurement from each side.

  • For a 6″ Γ— 6″ card, score at 1-1/2″ and 4-1/2″
  • For a 5″ Γ— 5″ card, score at 1-1/4″ and 3-1/4″

This creates an inside panel that’s half the size of the full card (3″ for the 6″ Γ— 6″ and 2-1/2″ for the 5″ Γ— 5″ .)

A layout design with measurement lines and notes on white paper, detailing scoring and cutting instructions for a crafting project.

β€’ Cutting & assembly:
You’ll need two sheets, both scored and then cut in half in opposite directions.
The trickiest part is placing the adhesive correctly so the card can turn smoothly.

I used Tear & Tape #154031 because it’s strong and easy to work with. Place it on the outside corners (top and bottom) of one sheet. Then take the second sheet, turn it 90 degrees, and attach it to those corners.

If you’re more of a visual learner, be sure to watch the video to see how it’s doneβ€”it makes the assembly so much easier to follow.

Decorating the Card

Now for the fun partβ€”decorating!
Most of my panels were cut ΒΌ” smaller than the base pieces. Be mindful of the direction each panel will turn. I laid everything out as I went so I could decide where each piece made the most sense.

I had so much fun making these that I decided to try a few more designs, including the smaller version I mentioned in my video. I stuck with the heart theme and added in:

  • Love Story Stamp Set #167065
  • Darling Dinos Stamp Set #164730 (Last Chance)
  • Sweet Jar Stamp Set #165501 (Last Chance)

These cards are so fun, easy, and interactiveβ€”and honestly, they’re a little like a fidget spinner for crafters. You just can’t help but keep flipping them! I hope I’ve inspired you to give a never-ending card a try! I’d love to see what you createβ€”be sure to tag me or give me a shout-out when you share your project or drop it in the comments.

Easy Fun Fold Gift Card Holder Tutorial

On my Monday Live, I shared an easy-to-make fun fold gift card holder inspired by my recent mini album. This sweet project features brand-new products that were released just yesterday, and I absolutely love how simple yet impressive this design is.

Card Base & Structure

Start with a piece of Real Red cardstock cut to 4-1/4″ x 11″.
Score at 5-1/2″ and 9″.

  • The 5-1/2″ section will be on the left side of the card.
  • Fold the 2″ section inward, then fold again on the 5-1/2″ score line.
  • This creates a pocket on the inside of the card.

Secure the sides of the pocket using Tear & Tape (#154031), leaving the top edge open so you can tuck in a gift card or cash.

Inside Panel

Cut Flirty Flamingo cardstock to 5-1/4″ x 4″ and emboss it using the
Hearts of Love 3D Embossing Folder (#167071).

Attach this to the inside of the card on the 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ section.

Designer Series Paper

From the Made with Love Designer Series Paper (#167054), cut:

  • 4″ x 3-1/4″
  • 4″ x 1-3/4″

Place these pieces on:

  • The 3-1/2″ section folded to the front
  • The 2″ section folded inside to form the pocket

Left Folding Panel

Cut Basic White cardstock to 3-1/2″ x 7″ and score in half at 3-1/2″.

Stamp β€œSweet Heart” from the Love Story Stamp Set (#167065) on the front and decorate as desired.

Attach this panel centered over the embossed section on the left side of the card base.

For one version, I placed the mini hearts directly on the white panel. For the second card, I added them to a 1/4″ strip of coordinating paper for a slightly different look.

Closure & Finishing Touches

For the closure, cut:

  • One solid heart
  • One lined heart

Using the Endless Love Dies (#167061).
Add arrows if you’d like for extra detail.

Attach the hearts to the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals, creating a small pocket for the folded panel to tuck underneath.

Finish the card with Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon (#167075).


I love how simple and easy this fun fold gift card holder is to make, yet it has such a wow factor. Be sure to check out the video to see the step-by-step process, and I can’t wait to see your ideas using this design and these beautiful new products!

πŸŽ„Quick & Cute: A Pop-Up Gift Card Holder Anyone Will Love

Merry Christmas! πŸŽ„

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday filled with special moments spent with family and friends. πŸ’›

For my Monday Live, I shared an easy pop-up gift card holder that’s perfect for those last-minute giftsβ€”or for anyone who’s just hard to buy for. I also featured this month’s Product of the Month, the True Blue Florals Designer Series Paper (#167970). You can grab this gorgeous paper for just $5 with a $75 purchaseβ€”such a great deal!

I chose to give my project a Christmas feel by using a few holiday sentiments, but this card design and layout work beautifully for any occasion. Simply swap out the greeting and embellishments, and you’re good to go.

During the live, I promised I’d share all the measurements so you can recreate this project at homeβ€”so let’s dive in!


Card Front Measurements & Supplies

A collection of patterned papers in shades of blue and purple, with a completed card featuring layered leaves and a sentiment that reads 'Tis the Season'.

    • Two pieces of Night of Navy Cardstock – 5-1/4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Scoring:
    • Score each piece at 1-1/4″
    • This creates a 1-1/4″ section and a 4″ section
  • Assembly:
    • Attach the two 1-1/4″ sections together (top and bottom) using Tear & Tape (#154031)

  • Finishing the Inside:
    • Left side: DSP – 3-3/4″ x 5″
    • Right side: Basic White – 3-3/4″ x 5″
      • Stamp with a coordinating greeting to finish the card
      • Attach the the inside of card.
        • Just a note they are cut so the are centered leaving an 1/8″ border. This helps pull the center apart just slightly and make it easier for the gift card to slide in and out.

πŸ–€βœ¨ Day 12 – Black, White & Gold Glam Meets Reindeer Games

Day 12 brought a touch of elegant glam to my Christmas Card Challenge with the theme Black, White & Gold Glam + Reindeer Games!

The Modern Christmas Suite was the perfect go-to for today’s challenge. I wanted to keep things simple yet striking, so I designed a classic dual–Designer Series Paper layout with a bold focal image and a clean, elegant greeting layered right on top.

A bit of ribbon and a mix of black and gold embossing added just the right touch of sparkle and sophistication. Since the card base itself is black, I made sure to stamp the inside on white cardstock, leaving plenty of space for a heartfelt holiday message. πŸ’›

To tie in the Reindeer Games theme, I also created an additional card using the same layout β€” this time featuring one of my all-time favorite retired sets, Dasher, as the focal point. The elegant reindeer image paired beautifully with the black, white, and gold color scheme for a timeless Christmas look. 🦌✨

This card came together quickly but makes a stunning impression β€” proof that minimal color and elegant accents can create a truly glamorous Christmas card!

β˜ƒοΈ Day 10 – Snowman Shenanigans & a Magical Color Twist

I had such a blast sharing today’s card during my live! This fun fold card is bursting with sparkle and holiday cheer β€” from the unexpected color combo of purples and greens to the whimsical twist on Snowman Shenanigans, I think you’re going to fall in love with this one just like I did. πŸ’œπŸ’šβœ¨

This card came together with a mix of creativity, experimentation, and a few surprises along the way. I used a lot of different products β€” including one very unexpected element!

I pulled pieces from the Darling Dinos (#164728) set again, but this time instead of dino-deer, I used them in a whole new way. Combined with the Light & Wonder Dies (#165762), I created the sweetest little snowman that’s sure to melt your heart. β˜ƒοΈπŸ’–

To bring in more holiday magic, I added details and greetings from:
πŸŽ„ A Little Cheer Stamp Set (#166121)
πŸŽ… Pine Tree Trimmings Stamp Set (#166040)
🌟 Pine Tree Trimmings Dies (#166046)


🎨 Color Palette Magic

For my color palette, I experimented with two different combos to capture the challenge colors β€” Concord and 9th β€”Plumberry, Rainforest, and Lilac.

As these are not Stampin’ Up! colors I had to adjust a bit. I started with my first color combo but after seeing some of the challenge samples, I decided to tweak the colors a bit to better match the prompt.

Which one is your favorite?

πŸ’œ First Combo: Mossy Meadow, Petunia Pop, and Berry Burst

  • Spooky Sweet DSP (#166191)

πŸ’š Second Combo (used in my live): Blackberry Bliss, Pretty Peacock, and Fresh Freesia

  • Season of Elegance DSP (#164144)

Both versions share some fun common touches β€” I used Pool Party for the snow and Pecan Pie for the tree trunks and snowman twigs. ✨

To finish off the sparkle, I added:

  • Wink of Stella (#141897) for shimmer
  • Petunia Pop Iridescent Ribbon (#166203) for a soft, festive glow
  • Frosted Iridescent Dots (#165766) for a frosty finishing touch

These details gave the card just the right amount of shine and magic!


πŸ“ I’ve included a picture of the measurements if you’d like to recreate this easy yet enchanting fun fold card yourself β€” it’s simple, sparkly, and so much fun to make!

A hand-drawn template showing measurements and scoring instructions for a fun fold card, labeled with dimensions and cut lines.

✨ If you missed my live, be sure to catch the replay and see how it all came together step-by-step! Plus you’ll want to catch the magic in action to see how this fun fold card opens to add surprise and delight to the receiver.

Goodbye Designer Series Paper

We have so many great Designer Series Papers (DSP) and I wanted to feature a few projects using some of these papers that will be going away. While many of the stamp sets that I am featuring will be carrying over unfortunately the DSP will not be. Sometimes they carry over, but with a major color change like we are having we will be getting all new DSP.

I had a lot of fun with these cards. My husband and I actually met when I asked him for a ride on his motorcycle almost 30 years ago. His favorite colors are purple and green so when I finally had a chance to play with this set I had him help me with the coloring. You’ll notice that the motorcycles vary a bit from each other as I played with different combinations. I’m featuring the Ready to Ride DSP which is part of the Suite Collection along with the Silver Foil that has been embossed.

  • 160754 – Legendary Ride Stamp Set (C) (M)
  • 160762 – Legendary Ride Dies (C) (M)
  • 160763 – Legendary Ride Bundle (R) (M)
  • 160768 – Ready to Ride Suite Collection (R) (M)
  • 160766 – Metal Plate 3DEmbossing Folder (C) (M)
  • 160767 – Adhesive-Backed Studs (R) (M)
  • 160752 – Ready to Ride DSP (R) (M)
  • 160382 – Country Bouquet Punch (C) (M)
  • 156457 – Silver Foil 12 x 12 Specialty Paper (R)
  • 155766 – Simply Elegant Trim (C)
  • Colors – Gorgeous Grape (C), Parakeet Party (C), Basic White (C), Basic Black (C), Basic Gray (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over, (M) Found in the Mini Catalog

Here’s one more card using this suite. I will list the additional products used along with the colors. One of the things I love about his card is how well the large watercolor world stamp set works so well with the motorcycle.

  • 160708 – Watercolor World Stamp Set (C) (M)
  • Colors – Pumpkin Pie (C), Basic Grey (C), Sahara Sand (R), Basic Black (C)

I am in love with this quick and easy layout. I’ve actually made multiple cards using this layout. I was going off a similar layout and cut the paper the wrong size however once I did I decided I liked this size even better. This card works perfect with our DSP. Simply cut your DSP into 4 x 8. You can get four cards out of one piece of DSP and still have a 4×4 square left for other projects. To finish you will score it at 2″ and 4″. Attached the 4×4 section to a 4 1/4″ by 4 1/4″ background and decorate how you want. The main image is designed to be centered and only attach to half the card when folded back like a Z-Fold card. This hides the image below which is in a similar shape.

  • 155092 – Butterfly Brilliance Stamp Set (R)
  • 155766 – Simply Elegant Trim (C)
  • 159245 – Pretty Prints DSP (R)
  • 155523 – Brilliant Wings Dies (R)
  • 159183 – Stylish Shapes Dies (C)
  • 155536 – Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set (R)
  • 154289 – Opal Rounds (R)
  • Colors – Blackberry Bliss (C), Rich Razzleberry (R), Basic White (C), Shaded Spruce (C)

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying Over

Here’s another sample using the same design. This one features the darling Rhino Ready online exclusive stamp set. This time I used circles rather than squares and the hostess designer series paper.

  • 160959 – Rhino Ready Stamp Set (O)
    • Rhino Ready Dies – Currently Unavailable -Online Exclusive
  • 159161 – Design a Daydream DSP (R)
  • 151770 – Layering Circles Dies (R)
  • 159183 – Stylish Shapes Dies (C)
  • 155475 – Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (C)
  • 133456 – Memento Ink (C)
  • 154904 – Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends (C)
  • 154893 – Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends (C)
  • Colors – Blackberry Bliss (C), Daffodil Delight (C), Old Olive (C), Basic White (C)
