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!

NEW Everyday Details card with a unique Designer Paper layout with video tutorial

December 28, 2023
I joined quite a few online card swaps for the new 2024 Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs and today's post features one of them.

Save

It features the Everyday Details bundle and the Poetic Expressions designer series paper. Both are in the upcoming 2024 Spring Catalog that goes live on January 4th. The colors include Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight with White.

There's a few special details I'd like to point out:
1. The designer paper triangle is originally a 4" square, cut in half. I added it to a textured layer (4" X 5 1/4")
2. The dotted circle die-cut is from the Everyday Details bundle; there are a variety of sizes in the set. It is adhered over a White stitched circle die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies.
3. I stamped the cup image in Misty Moonlight ink. The flower is colored a soft white by using our Craft White ink and a Wink of Stella pen. I shared how to do this in the video here. You can also use a Blender pen, a water pen or Watercolor Pencils.
Here's a close-up of this technique.

I thought I'd take a photo of all of the swaps before I mailed them out:

Translucent Florals card made with colored vellum

December 27, 2023
I created this pretty card with the Translucent Florals bundle. I used our vellum card stock and changed it from opaque to Fresh Freesia.

Save

It's really easy to do. Here's how:
1. I cut a good size piece of vellum from the main sheet and laid it onto my grid paper.
2. Then I pressed my open ink pad onto the card stock until it was covered.
3. To smooth the ink out use sponges or a blending brush. Let dry or heat set before die-cutting.
4. Die-cut the flowers, leaves and white centers
Products & measurements:
- Translucent Floral bundle
- White card stock – card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score & fold at 4 1/4"
- Painted Texture embossing folder – white is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- Fresh Freesia card stock 3 7/8" X 4 7/8"
- Granny Apple Green 4 1/4" X 1" strip
- Vellum card stock – a large piece colored with Fresh Freesia ink and a small piece with Granny Apple Green ink
- Blending Brushes
Here's a photo of this pretty bundle. See it here.
