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!

Happy May Day!! Check out this neat basket with template!

May 1, 2021

Sharon brought these amazing hand made baskets to our last Flowerbug's gathering.

Aren't they fabulous? It was sweet & generous of her!

For the fresh flowers basket she used the Fine Art Gallery designer paper in the Jan-June catalog.

Save

She cut down a small milk carton to insert inside the paper basket so we could add water. She added a metal frog to the inside of it to add the flowers securely. The fresh flowers lasted over a week!

Would you like to know how she made the basket? Well she made a template to share with you all as well! Download Sharon's Basket here

For the candy basket she used a brand new Pansy Petals designer paper in the new 2021 Annual Catalog.

Have a wonderful May Day!!

NEW! Flowers of Friendship card

April 30, 2021
I created this card for a mail out swap I participated in. I combined the new Pale Papaya with Pool Party & Black. What do you think?

Save

The stamp set is called Flowers of Friendship seen here. It has a coordinating flower punch but I didn't use it here. I did color the image in with Blends markers.

There are three new products I want to point out here:
1. Did you notice that pretty stitched border edge? That is done with a new set of dies called Basic Borders seen on page 162. They're amazing and stitch on both sides of the cut. #AddtoYourList
2. See that black & white patterned paper? It's new and in the back of our catalog. It's a hostess choice called Pattern Party. You can only get it with Hostess Benefits when you place an order over $150. It's a huge pack of 48 12 X 12" sheets and half are bright, colorful patterns and the other half are black & white. I think they made this pack just for me! It's my new favorite!!!
3. Lastly that stitched label die-cut. It's from the new Tailor Made Tags dies; seen on page166. It has 8 sizes of stitched tags and reinforcements for the holes as well. Love them!!
