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!

Christmas card swaps!

October 27, 2021
I love sharing the cards my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps. We had a great turnout for the October meeting and swap.

Marilyn made this first card using the Welcoming Woods stamp set. Her colors are Soft Succulent, White & Evening Evergreen.

Save

Products used are all from the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:
- Wintry 3D embossing pair seen here
- Hippo & Basic Border dies
- Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP
- 2021-23 In Color Shimmer Vellum
- Soft Succulent ribbon
And here's the inside. She punched a strip of Evening Evergreen CS with the Evergreen Border punch and then textured it with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder!

Save

Next is a card made by Paula featuring the Tidings & Trimmings bundle in the Annual catalog.

Save

Her colors include Real Red, Evening Evergreen & White. The star is cut from the Be Dazzling specialty paper in the previous Sale-a-Bration catalog.

I love how she wove the ribbon through the scalloped openings in the die-cut. This die is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.

Next is a pretty card made by Mary featuring the Evergreen Elegance stamp set; also in the Annual Catalog.

It's a fun fold card where you fold back the front flap of the card.

Save

The designer paper is also the Tidings of Christmas and that nice large White die-cut is from the Seasonal Labels dies seen here. They coordinate with the wonderful Christmas Season stamp set.

Nature’s Harvest card with embossed vellum

October 26, 2021
I just realized I hadn't shared this pretty card we made in September at my Card Clubs. It features the Nature's Harvest bundle seen here in the 2021 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.

Save

The colors include Bumblebee, Just Jade, White, Gold & Vellum. When I use vellum I always think 'Why don't I use it more?' It can be the perfect layer without adding 'too much'.

Details:
- The Vellum card stock is embossed with the Timber 3D embossing folder.
- The coneflowers are colored with Stampin' Blends markers.
- That glitzy wheat stalk is part of the Harvest dies and from the Be Dazzling specialty paper that was available during Sale-a-Bration.
- The greeting is from the Delicate Dahlias (Sale-a-Bration) stamp set on a Tasteful Label die-cut
Save

Measurements:
- Bumblebee card stock 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Vellum CS 3 3/4" X 5"
  • White scraps for circle, greeting and flower
  • Be Dazzling paper scrap for stems
  • Penguin Playmates DSP 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"
Save

And here's the video!

For these two cards I chose to use the In Good Taste DSP (Annual Catalog on the left) and Cork paper on the left from the Holiday catalog.
