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!

Hey Girlfriend with a paper strips background!

April 14, 2021

Coloring these sweet girls can be intimidating but not with our Blends markers! Look at her!

Save

I will admit that my friend & team member Audrey colored this one. She shared a bunch of stamped & colored girls with me and I've made a few cards with them. If you look closely you can see the changes in color hue that gives great dimension. Such as her skirt. See how the outside is darker than the inside? Same with her cheeks.

The Blends markers are fabulous tools!

I had a bunch of colored card stock strips laying on my desk and decided to use them for a background. I cut some into thinner strips to add interest. I did not measure; they vary in widths which adds some interest & fun.

I adhered them to a 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" piece of card stock. Then I trimmed off the excess and added the entire piece to a piece of 3 5/8" X 4 7/8" piece of Black CS before I added it to the White card base.
