Hi Crafty Friend! The Trendy Tiles Cardmaking Kit is all about adding bold, beautiful pattern to your cards in a way that still feels classic and approachable. The Moroccan-inspired quatrefoil shape opens the door to so many creative possibilities. Go soft and elegant, bright and playful, or rich and dramatic depending on the occasion and the person you’re creating for.

What is a quatrefoil? You might ask. A quatrefoil is a classic, symmetrical shape that resembles a four-petal flower and has roots in Gothic and Renaissance design, making it both timeless and decorative. We love seeing how this shape takes on anew personality just by switching up color combos, textures, or techniques.

Below, our Creative Team is sharing projects that explore all of those ideas. You’ll see different styles, color stories, and creative approaches that show just how much range this pattern has and help spark ideas for your own crafting.

Emily Mydlowski created three colorful, eye-catching projects with the Trendy Tiles Cardmaking Kit! She cut quatrefoil shapes from a rainbow of cardstock, creating bold, graphic designs. On another card, she cut the quatrefoil shapes from white cardstock and layered bright colors behind the lattice for a crisp, modern look. For her final project, Emily ink blended a rainbow directly onto the Foil It – Trendy Tiles panel, then foiled it with gold to add a gorgeous touch of shine. Each card shows a different way to play with color, layers, and pattern using the same core elements.

Amy Kolling shared two striking projects with the Trendy Tiles Cardmaking Kit. One card leans bold with bright pink and the Foil It – Trendy Tiles panel for plenty of shine and color. On her second card, she paired pink and blue tiles together and stamped the tile designs in black. She left four tiles white to create the perfect space for her sentiment to stand out. Both designs show how a few thoughtful choices can make pattern feel playful, balanced, and beautifully intentional.

Jill Hawkins shared two timeless cards! Her first card pairs bright yellow and blue, using the background stamp and Quatrefoil Stencil to build the pattern. She popped up a few of the quatrefoils for added dimension and nestled her three sentiments right inside the shapes for a fun focal point. On her second card, Jill kept things crisp with a white-on-white background, then added blue stamped tile designs die cut into quatrefoils and scattered across the card for a clean, modern look.

Heather Nichols used a rich, regal color combo of Toffee, brown, and teal for her Trendy Tiles projects! On her first card, she used the Quatrefoil Stacklets Die Set to create a bold, oversized quatrefoil that instantly draws the eye. For her second card, Heather blended teal through the Quatrefoil Stencil, then heat embossed the tile designs in white for a beautiful contrast that feels both elegant and timeless.
