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!

Everyday Happiness fun fold card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option

February 12, 2025

I chose to feature the new Everyday Happiness designer paper for one of my card kits to go in February. Each month I offer two new kits in my shop here.

These soft & pretty cards are all fancy folds. You'll make 2 each of the 5 card designs. It's always great to learn a few new fold ideas and have samples in hand to case later.

The kit includes these Stampin' Up! products – a share of each – Everyday Happiness DSP, the Iridescent gems & Lost Lagoon cording. You'll want to have the Pretty Peacock ink and greeting images. I used the With You in Mind and Layering Leaves sets but you can substitute others easily. *Add on $40 in product to your kit order and choose a free SAB item!

The pre-cut kit includes all card bases, layers and punched or die-cut pieces. You will need a paper trimmer for your new DSP.

To reserve a pre-cut kit to go for $31 click here. To purchase the PDF tutorial for $16 click here.

The PDF tutorial will be emailed to your immediately after payment. Please check your junk mail! The kit with product will be shipped to you at the end of February, barring any product shortages.

*Supplies needed: a paper trimmer (for your new DSP), greeting images, ink & adhesives.

Remember I have other kits as well; check them all out here and save on shipping.

Beautiful DSP Diamond Gatefold card with video & free project sheet

February 11, 2025

I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week's Live video. You can see it here or scroll down a bit.

Save

It features the Spring Corners bundle seen here and the Bloom Impressions DSP from our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This DSP can be seen here. It's free with any $60 purchase! Unfortunately it's in low inventory status and may be gone soon. I love it and thought it was one of our best offerings.

Save

The Spring Corners set is one of my new favorites; I love the unusual corner style greetings and other images but the dies are special too! As you can see in the front panel I die-cut the coneflower image and then replaced the flower centers with Melon Mambo pieces. So easy and a fun trick!

Save

Here's how it looks when it's opened below. Notice the greeting is in two lines horizontally. I cut the 'corner' shaped stamp set at the corner point so I could have a normal inside greeting. When I want to use it as a corner stamp it easily fits back together on my block again.

Bright Borders fun fold with Bloom Impressions DSP

February 10, 2025

We made these pretty cards at my Clubs in January. I featured the Bright Borders stamp set with the To the Point punch and the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions DSP.

Save

Unfortunately the To the Point punch is out of stock and isn't expected to be back until April! I was worried about this when I saw it was in low inventory.

The gorgeous Bloom Impressions DSP is a free choice during Sale-a-Bration and is also in low inventory. If it does run out it's possible they'll turn off the item number if they cannot get more in stock before the end of February. So grab yours here now!

Save

This is a fun fold card – sometimes called a 'back-fold'. The far right inside is scored so it can bend backwards. The greeting layers are adhered to that side and hold the card closed. It's a great way to show off our coordinating colors in our beautiful designer papers.
