Gears & Textures bundle; another wow with Candace’s fun fold card

January 28, 2026

Today I’m sharing a neat card made by Candace; my talented team member. She used the Gears & Textures bundle to make this:

You can see the Gears & Textures bundle here. It’s so special & unique and perfect for masculine cards. But as you can see in Candace’s card it’s great for gals too!

She made her own paper with the stamps in the set. She used Pretty in Pink, Night of Navy & Flirty Flamingo inks. She added die-cut gears from the Metallic Textured Specialty papers seen here.

If you want to make a card like this start out with a 4 1/4″ X 11″ piece of card stock scored at 5 1/2″. Trim off a 1 1/2″ piece from one end. Then trim off another 2 1/2″ piece which is the vertical center piece. The stamped paper layers are 1 1/4″ X 4″ on the top & bottom and the center is 2 1/4″ X 4″.

Thanks for the amazing fun fold card Candace!

A Pretty Diamond Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

August 26, 2024

This card fold looks a bit tricky but it is super easy to make!

Save

It features the beautiful Mediterranean Blooms designer paper. My colors include Lemon Lolly, Night of Navy & White.

This card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4"; score at 5 1/2" & 8 7/8".

How did I get that square to pop up on the end? Watch the video to see! But basically you trim off the outer corners from the scored and folded end.

Save

I fussy cut the lemon bunch from the designer paper. The Citrus Blooms bundle coordinates with this pretty DSP but I didn't use them here. The greetings are from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set.

Here's the inside view:

Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration

August 23, 2024
Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store.

Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

Save

Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully.

Click on the photo below to see it in the store. Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle:

Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle.

Save

Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold.

Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it.

Here's a list of the products she used:
- So Swirly embossing folder
- Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here
- Exposed Brick embossing folder
- Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime
And look how the cauldron opens!!

Save

She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening. So cool!!

I'll share more Team swaps next week.

Who wants a Designer Paper Share from the Holiday Catalog?!

August 22, 2024

I'm offering a designer paper share from the upcoming Holiday Catalog again! These shares are super popular with so many of you; I glad to help you get a sample of these pretty papers.

Save

It includes a 6 X 6" sheet of each 10 packs of new paper – that's 68 sheets including specialty papers. A double share would include 6" X 12" pieces (except those that come in 6" size) it would be $53 plus $8 shipping.

I can take names and add you to the list. However I cannot accept payment until August 27th due to Stampin' Up!'s rules.

The earlier you opt in the better your chance is to get these soon. They can run out of stock on some and then I have to wait until they're available. I plan to place my order on September 3rd.

Message me here to opt in and how you'd like to pay. PayPal, Venmo, cash or check. *I can use a credit card but I'd need all of your information for that – address, phone number, card number, expiration date.
