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!

Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!

September 7, 2021
On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper. *Follow me on Facebook here.

Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP.

As you can see, it's not a Christmas card. This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.

Save

The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here. This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

See that cute penguin? It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!

Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps

September 6, 2021
We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards. This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme. Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.

The first is made by Tracey. She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in. It's beautiful stamped in one color! See this stamp set here.

Save

It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card including the torn edges.

Details:
- Stacked Stone background stamp
- One ink – Cinnamon Cider
- Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
- Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
- Champagne rhinestones
Save

This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.

Save

I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers. It adds that fun pop of color. It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.

Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left. I do love Black & White paper!

This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see it here.

Delicate Dahlias & Very Versailles

September 3, 2021

Look at this pretty, multi-layered card made by Roxann. She used the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and the Very Versailles.

Save

Her colors are Pale Papaya, Vanilla & Black. She stamped the Dahlia twice; once on the large Vanilla and again on a scrap to fussy cut. It's a 2-step stamp set with a DistINKtive look. What is DistINKtive mean? It's a process Stampin' Up! created that gives a multi-toned look with just one ink color.

Look at the detail and multiple hues on these stamps!

Save
