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″.
I am offering a Holiday Catalog designer paper share that includes 15 different paper packs in the new catalog (including all specialty papers). Message me here if you'd like a share.
Double it and get your paper in 6 X 12" pieces (except those in 6 X 6" size) and you'll also earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Or add on other catalog product valued at $30 and earn a free SAB choice.
On this week's Live video I shared 3 pretty projects featuring the new Splendid Thoughts bundle from the upcoming Holiday catalog. Here's the first one:
The colors include Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam, White and Calypso Coral with a few Copper elements too.
I stamped the background on the Petal Pink card base using one of the leaf images in Petal Pink ink. The textured White adds a soft background to the many leaf die-cuts.
I used one of the dies in the Splendid Stems dies for the greeting piece on the right card. Which do you prefer?
And here's my favorite card I shared in the video. I cased the idea from my friend Lorri Heiling. It's so simple but super special with the foil stitched squares and die-cut leaf. There's something extra special about this leaf die-cut. Can you tell what it is?
It's hard to see in the photo but the entire leaf is on dimensionals. What?! Yes! I adhered a piece of White card stock to our Foam Adhesive Sheets seen here and then die-cut it all at once. So not the entire leaf is popped up. So cool and easily noticed in person.
The greetings are from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies. A thin strip of Fresh Freesia CS under the greeting pulls it all together.

I think the Brick background is so pretty with the die-cuts. I used the 'Direct to Paper' technique. I used the Brick Wall embossing folder on the Calypso Coral CS and then used an open White Craft ink pad to lightly brush ink onto the textured CS. I purposely keep my White Craft ink less inked than desired because I love doing this! If yours is well inked you may want to use a sponge instead.
The colors include White, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink. The Splendid Day Specialty designer paper is gorgeous and full of Foil & Copper accents on one side and subtle prints on the other. Here's what the entire suite looks like. It will be available tomorrow, July 1st.
I stamped a few of the die-cuts and the greeting in Smoky Slate ink. I fussy cut the greeting and added it to the curved 'half circle' die-cut over the ribbon. I'll share more Splendid Thoughts projects tomorrow.
I love how bright & colorful this kit is and the dimensional strips are easy to use. The cute glittery prints are quite eye catching.
