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!

Ready to Ride card kit to go; it’s for both guys & gals!

April 10, 2023
I chose the Ready to Ride specialty designer paper for one of my April card kits to go; it has wonderful black foil designs on one side and fun prints on the other. It even has a few flowers for the gals; it's not all about men here!

These cards include multiple fun folds as I like to do; they add a fun element for both the creator and the recipient.

Save

There 2 each of 5 designs in this card kit. There's a pre-cut kit to go option AND a PDF tutorial only option in my store here.

The pre-cut kit to go includes 1/2 pkg. of the Ready to Ride specialty DSP (6" X 12"), a share of both Classic Matte dots and Baker's Twine Essentials pack. The pre-cut card pieces, die-cuts and punched pieces are all included.

Supplies needed:
- Black ink & adhesives
- a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP (using the measurements in the tutorial).
- Greeting images – I used the Legendary Ride and Celebrating You stamp sets, but you can substitute any greeting images you already own.
The PDF tutorial is added on free and includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supply list. It's $20 in product for just $28! The tutorial is sent to you via email immediately after payment from my Shop here.

The other option is my PDF tutorial seen here. It's $15 and it's emailed to you immediately after payment.

The neat thing about my kits and tutorials are that you get great ideas for creating; whether it's with this theme or others.
