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!

Trusty Tools ‘Toolbox’ Treat box with video & free project sheet!

February 14, 2024
Happy Valentine's Day!

I had to try my hand at making a treat box using the Trusty Toolbox designer paper. So I came up with this & shared it on last week's video here.

Save

Isn't it adorable? It holds quite a few candy treats plus there's room for a gift card too. I plan to give this to my husband today.

I decided to change it up a bit and added a pegboard (made with the Trusty Tools' dies seen here) to the back of my second box.

Save

The tools in the box are cut from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper seen here. You can use the Trusty Tools dies for some of them as they coordinate wonderfully. But honestly I fussy cut most of them.

Save

Details:
- The box is 3 1/2" wide and the 1 1/2" deep & high. The pegboard is 4 1/2" tall.
- The 'Celebrate' greeting is from the Thoughtful Moments dies & emboss folder seen here. My new favorite! I added ink after I cut the word out using my brayer very, very gently. *watch the video to see how
- There are two handles glued back to back in the center.
- The tools are adhered to the front, center layer and the back to give depth & interest to the box.
- The tool designer paper on the front & sides are also from the Trusty Toolbox designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Aren't they just adorable?! What a great little treat to give to the guys? And why not the gals too?
