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!

Fun Summery card swaps by my Team

August 1, 2024

This week I've been sharing our July card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our theme was thank you cards without flowers.

Roxann made this adorable card with the Round we Go bundle:

See the Round we Go bundle here. Her background paper is from the Country Woods DSP seen here. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Petal Pink and Pool Party with White. What a fun and eye-catching card!

Lori made this one with the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Butterfly Paper Accents seen here.

Save

Unfortunately the Spotlight on Nature dies are unavailable again – this must be the third time since they were released! Her colors include Crumb Cake, Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash with White. The amazing Dotted Circles 3D embossing folder is featured on her background. Love how it fits so perfectly with the circles! It's in low inventory but you can see that here.

Candy made this beautiful card with the Sketched Butterfly bundle seen here.

Save

I love her soft colors of Lost Lagoon with Smoky Slate, Black and Very Vanilla. She used Lost Lagoon & Smoky Slate Blends markers to color that pretty butterfly. She also used the dark Lost Lagoon blends marker to color her Black & Very Vanilla large check ribbon.

Tomorrow I'll post the last of the July Team swaps.

Joan made this next card using the Fluffiest Friends bundle. Isn't it adorable?!

Unfortunately the Fluffiest Friends stamp set sold out and only the dies are available. This can happen with Online Exclusives. They are available while supplies last. Sometimes they'll reorder and other times they do not.

Her colors include Crumb Cake, Peach Pie & Summer Splash with a bit of Lemon Lime Twist too. She did a lot of sponging on the textured Crumb Cake and the greeting label. Adorable!

Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!

This week I'm sharing our wonderful array of Team card swaps from July. This month our theme was 'thank you cards' without flowers.

The two cards on this post both feature the new Changing Leaves bundle from our online exclusives. I shared a few ideas in a recent video you can see here.

Robin made this first card; it's simply gorgeous!

Save

Her colors include Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Wild Wheat. I love the pretty textured White background so much; it really shows off the leaves & die-cuts.

Save

The greeting & die-cut are included in the Changing Leaves bundle.

Here's a link to the Changing Leaves bundle. It includes the stamp set, dies and matching hybrid embossing folder. See the link to my video above to see how a hybrid embossing folder works.

Save

Next is Rita's pretty card. She used the same bundle.

Save

Her colors include Highland Heather, Shy Shamrock and Basic Beige. She also used the Spotlight on Nature dies for her circles. She sponged a bit of Basic Beige ink onto the embossed layer to highlight the texture.

Stay tuned for more fabulous Team swaps all this week!
