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!

Unique Double Triangle fun fold with free project sheet & video

March 11, 2026

Today I’m sharing a super neat fun fold card from last week’s video. I featured brand new products from our Online store. The suite is called Delicate Dreams and it’s beautiful! See it here.

I shared two of the cards here in the last few days. Today I’m sharing the most unique one.

Both upper and lower triangles pull out to reveal this:

It’s made from two scored pieces that overlap in the center. I scored each on at 5 1/2″ and then at an angle as well. Please watch the video below to see how it’s done. It’s fairly confusing to use the tutorial only.

This is how it looks when you open the right side only.

I stamped the ‘wheat’ looking image using Stazon ink because the Earthen Toned Metallic foil would resist a water-based ink. This specialty foil paper coordinates beautifully with the bronze print in this DSP.

That pretty ribbon is the Secret Sea open weave ribbon. The greeting is from January’s product of the Month – the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. It’s sold out now; they’re available only while supplies last.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

A neat overlapping fun fold card with free project sheet, video & punch trick!

March 10, 2026

Yesterday I shared one of the three fun fold cards I made in the video tutorial last week. Today I’m sharing the second one.

Save

My colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, White and the retired Boho Blue. The colors in the new Delicate Dreams DSP includes a brand new In Color coming out in May. It’s called Hydrangea Hue. I don’t have it yet so I had to substitute.

The Delicate Dreams designer paper AND the Delicate Whispers bundle are out of stock right now but you can add your email to the list to be notified when it’s available. Click on the links to do this. They should be back in stock in a few weeks.

The front top flap overlaps the lower one. I added a strip of the Boho Blue and besides texturing it with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder I used my To the Point punch to mimic the Mossy Meadow punched piece. I love this punch!

Here’s how you do it.

Save

You must insert the layer in the back of the punch and wiggle it between the slot. You don’t insert it through the usual space. See the card stock sticking out of the upper part of the punch? *If you don’t want the usual size of your punch this is how it’s done.

Here’s the inside view of this card with the upper flap lifted:

Save

And here’s the view with both flaps lifted:

Notice the colored die-cut on the White layer here? I cut that die from the White layer and sponged it with Mossy Meadow ink. Then re-inserted it into the White CS. I love this effect!

Delicate Dreams fun fold cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

March 9, 2026

The beautiful Delicate Dreams suite is new in our online products. The designer paper is especially pretty but unfortunately it’s out of stock right now. So popular! I had planned to offer it as one of my kit to go’s this month but it will have to wait until April.

I shared 3 unique fun fold cards featuring this suite on last week’s video. We made them at my February Team meeting and I’ll be sharing them all this week.

Today I’m sharing the double flap card (top right above). This neat fold gives you lots of opportunities to use your beautiful designer series paper.

My colors include Mossy Meadow, White, Secret Sea and Earthen Metallic foil paper. That beautiful blue you see here is an upcoming NEW in color called Hydrangea Hue. It’s going to be a favorite of many!

Check out this gorgeous new Suite here. Add your email to the list of any product that’s out of stock and you’ll be notified when it’s available.
