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!

I have never had a demonstrator join my team and regret it. They all love it as long as they stay active. Some people stay a while and others do not. I hope you stay awhile but if you don't, that's fine too. There is no pressure to continue once you decide to leave. You simply stop placing orders.

I have many people take advantage of this deal just to stock up on essentials or to get items on their long wishlist. Then when they're stocked up, they stop ordering. It's just that simple! No pressure to sell or hold events. Just enjoy the 20% discount while you can. Email me with any questions you have.

Ombre Blending with Decorative Masks; an easy technique!

August 17, 2021
If you struggle to get a smooth blend I have a few suggestions for you. We made this striking card at a class this weekend. Everyone loved it and they all turned out fabulous!

Save

Details:
- The colors here are Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler; with a bit of gold glitz thrown in.
- The leaves are die-cut from the Intricate Leaves dies seen here.
- The greeting is from the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set in the Holiday catalog. I love this greeting! See it here.
Here are some tips & suggestions for perfect Ombre' blending:
- Use out Blending Brushes; they really do make a smooth blend easier.
- Choose colors that are similar in hue. For instance blues and greens, or yellows to reds.
- Blend over a Decorative Mask – see them all here. The patterned stencils/masks seem to break up any inconsistencies in your blending.
- Here I added color onto Crumb Cake card stock; that also helps and would be a a good color to practice on.
- I start out with the lightest color and work my way downward; in this case at an angle.
- I leave a tiny space between colors and make sure to blend/connect them by going into the previous color just a bit before moving.
