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!

An easy fun fold card with a gift card option video & free project sheet too!

December 20, 2023
I shared two fun fold cards on last week's Live video; both featuring the cute Year to Celebrate stamp set.

We made these striking, colorful cards at my December card clubs. The Year to Celebrate stamp set has lots of fun images and pairing it with the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green foil paper is a sure hit!

Both are on the Last Chance List and available while supplies last. And they're discounted!! *See the Year to Celebrate set here; it's now just $11.40 and was $19.

Here's the inside of the New Year's card. I added another textured strip of the foil paper and a piece of the Brights 6" DSP as well. Keep reading to get to the project sheet with measurements.

Year to Celebrate Explosion card with free project sheet & video

December 19, 2023

I made this cute card during last week's Live video. It looks like a simple card front the front but there's a surprise inside!

Save

I used the cute Year to Celebrate stamp set in the retiring 2023 Holiday catalog. This set is reduced from $19 to $11.40 while supplies last. See it online here.

It's great for a celebratory card like birthday's, promotions, achievements and New Years.

Here's the view of the inside:

It's an explosion card that you can add some annoying sprinkles and punched pieces in. That's the biggest surprise!

It also features the Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green foil that's on the Last chance list and has a reduced price. See it here.

How to use leftover pieces to create projects

December 18, 2023

I'm sure you have a few piles of extra die-cuts, greetings or stamped images leftover from other projects right? I seem to have lots! I give bunches of these to my friend Joanne in AZ as she loves to use them to remake cards to benefit the needy.

I had a few extra Santa hat die-cuts left from this project.

Save

It's made with the Sending Cheer bundle. I shared this diamond flap card on a video here. Unfortunately the dies are sold out but the stamp set is hugely discounted right now; see it here. It was $24 and is now $14.40.

I had enough die-cuts and other elements left to create a few more cards; here's one:

The layout is quite similar but it's not a fun fold card. Simple but cute! I used Poppy Parade for this card base. The colorful designer paper is the Merry, Bold & Bright but it's also sold out now. Our Last Chance sale from the Holiday catalog is really reducing our options!

Here's a different card layout using similar pieces:

I had a leftover textured layer that was perfect for the Santa element. It's the Christmas Tidings embossing folder – discounted on the Last Chance sale and seen here.

Save

Easy-peasy and two more Christmas cards made.
