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!

She used the Sweetest Cherries bundle, the 6 X 6" pack of In Color DSP and the Stylish Shapes dies seen here. Her card base is Parakeet Party and the next layer is Starry Sky. Super cute!

She used Tahitian Tide, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Parakeet Party for the leaves. I love this sweet bundle!

Lastly is a fun layout Karen made using the Rectangular Postage punch. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky.

I love how she added the greeting with the same punch as the first 4 but turned horizontally. What a fun card layout this is!

June 16, 2022
Yesterday I shared the first set of In Color card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team and today I'm sharing more.

The first card is a fun fold card made by Karen A. This is such an easy fold as it's just adding one score line to your standard card.

Save

She chose to use the Nothing's Better Than stamp set. Her colors include Sweet Sorbet & Parakeet Party with a bit of Early Espresso & Crumb Cake for the greeting & cookies.

For your card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4". The Designer paper is from the In Color prints pack and measure 2 3/4" and 1" X 5 1/4" tall on both the front and inside of the card. The inside White is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4".

Her front greeting elements include the new Decorative Circle punch seen here and the stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.
