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!

More fabulous Flowerbug’s Christmas cards

October 28, 2021
I shared some of my Team Christmas card swaps yesterday here. And today there's more beauties; all made with stamps from the 2021 Holiday Stampin' Up! catalog.

this first card was made by Candy using the Reflected in Nature stamp set & Welcoming Woods. I LOVE her colors of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, White & Smoky Slate. A gorgeous card!

Save

Next is a super neat fun-fold window card made by Candace. She used the Penguin Place bundle in Navy, Coastal Cabana, White & Black. The penguins are extra special punched from Black glimmer paper.

Save

At first glance it looks like a regular card front. But wait…. look!

Save

She cut a window on the front using our Stitched Rectangle dies revealing the cute penguin layer inside. They're actually attached to a second card base inside that flips down.

She used the Whimsy dies to add a stitched border to each inside layer. Love this detail.

Save

Isn't it cool?!

Measurements:
- Navy card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Coastal Cabana inside card base 5 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
- White pieces 4 3/8" X 2 7/8", Navy layer is also 4 3/8" X 2 7/8" inside
Barb made this unique card using the Be Jolly stamp set. Her colors are Misty Moonlight, Red & White.

Save

She heat embossed the stars on the front layer with White embossing powder. She also sponged the edge. She used our Layering Circle dies for her Santa. But look how it flips open to reveal a greeting!

Save

Such a fun surprise and it's just a 1/2" flap hidden under the front layers. So smart!

Here's the inside view:

I love sharing what my Flowerbug's Team make; they're fabulous stampers!
