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″.
Ready to Ride card kit to go; it’s for both guys & gals!
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.
There 2 each of 5 designs in this card kit. There's a pre-cut kit to go option AND a PDF tutorial only optionin 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 Shophere.
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.
Check out this fun & unique way to use up those card stock scraps!
Look at this gorgeous card! It's so bright, colorful and just plain fun! I made it on this week's Live video. My theme was to feature Bermuda Bay (a favorite of mine) and some sets of retiring dies I'll miss a lot!
I used the 'Picture This' dies seen here for the multiple circle windows. The White delicate leaves die-cuts are from the Splendid Stems dies; which I thought were still current! Oops!
Isn't it striking? It's almost like a rainbow effect with these bright colors. I adhered 1/4" strips of card stock to another layer of White (under the White window die). It's slightly smaller than the top one. Watch the video hereto catch my tips on this technique
I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Berry Burst. The only two colors that will be in the next catalog are Coastal Cabana and Berry Burst! But I know we'll learn to love the new color line too. It's always sad to say goodbye to some of our favorites.
Next I shared a fun card featuring blues/greens and theLayering Diorama dies.They're discounted to $20.30 now.
And the Brilliant Wings dies shown above which include tons of butterflies in both solid and detailed dies that layer perfectly. They were $44 and are now just $17.60. See them here.
Here's how I adhered the strips to the back of the White die-cut piece. I die-cut the Layering Diorama shape first and then added these strips on the back side. It's a super fun way to show off your die-cut shape and use up those scraps you just cannot throw out!

Eden’s Garden & Forever Fern; a fun way to use the Picture This dies
Monday evening I created projects with the Forever Fern bundle for my weekly Tuesday Facebook Live. But by the next morning the Forever Fern stamp set was sold out; gone. So I had to switch gears a bit and decided to substitute Forever Fern with Eden's Garden. I think it turned out lovely!
I used all retiring inks and card stock – Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry & Pear Pizzazz. I had to focus on my Bermuda Bay; I'll sure miss this color! The card stock, ink and refill are already sold out.
I wanted to feature the Picture This dies too; I honestly love these dies and use both the full windows die-cut and the stitched label pieces left over. Each side is stitched! They're perfect for greeting labels. This 2 piece set of dies is now $27.20; it was $34.See them here.
I think the color combination is beautiful. I'll sure miss these colors!
Below are the three cards I shared on the video. I think the Forever Fern stamp set is one of the most gorgeous set of stamps Stampin' Up! has ever made. The distinktive quality of the images gives a true multi-hued effect; it's my very favorite type of stamp. I'm sorry it retired and that it's already sold out. You can get it in French still…..
Things are flying off the shelves on the retiring Last Chance Sale. Thank you to all who have placed orders with me this week! I sure appreciate it!!!
