Make Your Cards POP! Behind the Design of the New Paper Pop! Collection

There’s something truly exciting happening in the world of cardmaking right now — fancy fold cards are having a real moment! From intricate folds to clever apertures and layered panels, these makes are a joy to create and an absolute treat to receive.

As someone who loves crafting cards that feel just a little bit different, I really wanted to design a collection that would complement those unique folds and fancy features. That’s how Paper Pop! was born — a bold, vibrant, and slightly quirky set of papers that are designed to make your projects stand out.

These papers are all about adding energy, fun, and flair to your creations. Whether you're using them on card fronts, behind die-cut apertures, or across intricate folding panels, they’re designed to draw the eye and add that pop of personality.

What I really love about these designs is their versatility — you can print them on so many different surfaces to create all kinds of effects:

Standard card for bold bases
Photo paper for a glossy, punchy finish
Vellum for a soft, dreamy look
Rice paper or acetate for something extra special

The files are designed as 8x8 squares, perfect for card fronts and layering, but you can always use your printer settings or your favourite printing app to resize them to suit your make — whether that’s A5, slimline, ATC's or even tiny tags.

I am all printed up and ready to start crafting so i thought i would turn on the Camera and show you what they look like printed up and the story behind them (Click on the little play button to watch the youtube video)

Sharing todays tea bag card made with the Hot Luxe Colour Pop! Papers

Page 3 from the paper set was used as tiles to create the tea bag fold (cut the sheet into 4 then do the basic fold of corner to corner - see my youtube video for instructions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjcW8r3z49c&t=11s

Page 1 was used as a backing paper

I hope you enjoy playing with these as much as I loved creating them. They’re here to help your folds pop, your panels shine, and your makes feel joyful and fresh.

Happy crafting,

April 28, 2026 Pretty Carnations Card So Many Questions… Let’s Talk About Those Flowers! 💙🍃 I recently shared a card over on Facebook, and I honestly wasn’t expecting the response it received!

Flowers have always been a huge part of my life. As a fully qualified florist, I spent many years surrounded by beautiful blooms every single day.
