Looking for a little creative joy? Simple card ideas are the perfect way to have fun crafting without the overwhelm! Whether you’re brand new to card making or just want something quick and easy, you can create beautiful, meaningful cards with just stamps, ink, and paper. The best part? You don’t need fancy tools or tons of supplies—just a few basics and a bit of inspiration. With these simple designs, the possibilities are endless and the process is pure fun!
To create the card featured in today’s video, I used two of my favorite Stampin’ Up! stamp sets: Pretty Florals and More Messages—which is my absolute go-to for sentiments! These sets make it easy to come up with simple card ideas that are both beautiful and meaningful. I also share a second card using the Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper, adding a fun and playful twist to the same flap fold design. With just a few supplies, you can recreate these simple layouts and enjoy the creative process from start to finish!
