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!

Do you see how she fussy cut a second layer of designer paper and another set of flowers to pop up over the first? Great technique! I love how she added attention to the greeting with a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month. This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase.

Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards.

This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer. Very cool and not difficult either.

Save

Measurements:
- Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the front half on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right.
- White 8 1/2" X 3" scored at 4 1/4"
- DSP 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" cut in half on the diagonal

Next is a unique fun fold card I haven't seen before.

She used two pieces of the same DSP and fussy cut the top layer to add it over the lower with Stampin' Dimensionals. The right side flap folds in towards the center.

Save

She used the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set on the inside. So pretty!!

Measurements:
- Petunia Pop card base 7 3/8" X 5 1/2" scored at 1" and 4 1/4".
- DSP – front is4 1`/4" X 5 1/2" and left side is 3 1/8" X 5 1/2"
- White inside 3" X 5 1/4"
Lastly today is a neat idea with scenic designer paper – add a frame to highlight the scene.

Save

Judith added a frame made from the Perennial Postage dies seen here.

A simple greeting an an extra die-cut and you're card is done. Letting the pretty designer paper work for you is so smart!
