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!

Pretty Detailed Dogwood card swaps

January 18, 2024

Today I'm sharing a few swaps I received featuring the new Detailed Dogwood stamp set – one of the choices in the 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Trayce Bauer made this stunning card using Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow.

Save

She fussy cut the flowers out and added them to the Bubble Bath layer that has been embossed using the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – also from our Sale-a-Bration selection.

I love how she added the dotted image to create a background on both the white layer and the greeting! The greeting die is from the Thoughtful Expressions dies.

Below is a photo of the stamp set. See it here online.

Save

It's free with a $100 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February 29th when Sale-a-Bration ends.

Next is a gorgeous card made by Angie Leach.

Save

She used a beautiful set of neutral colors – Pebbled Path, Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow and Copper Clay. The large white die is from the Postage dies. Wow!

I love the layout. Adding a few strips below your main focal point adds balance and interest and ties the colors together too.

~~~

This last card is also a swap I received but I cannot give credit to the creator as there wasn't a name on it.

Save

Her colors of Black, Real Red and White are stunning! Note the simple stamped background on the large White layer, mimicking the main floral image. That dragonfly is such a neat image. It does not coordinate with our Dragonfly punch unfortunately.

2 card ideas with Cradled in Love – a sweet set that’s free during Sale-a-Bration

January 17, 2024

One of the free stamp set choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog is the Cradled in Love set. A sweet group of stamps perfect for baby cards. See this stamp set here.

Here's a quick card I created for my Open House boards:

Save

My colors include Flirty Flamingo, White & Smoky Slate. That large die-cut is from our new Perennial Postage dies seen here.

Save

I paired it with the new Most Adored specialty designer paper – another free option during Sale-a-Bration this year. I added a 2" wide strip under the main element diagonally.

Both the stamp set and paper are available through February or while supplies last. See this pretty paper here. It's filled with gold foil designs on one side and Flirty Flamingo & Real Red on the other.

Save

This photo does not show it well at all. The colors are rich and gorgeous!

~~~

Below is a super cute swap card I received from my friend Amy Storrie.

Save

She used the Lighter Than Air designer paper, Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Gray and White. That adorable scalloped border from the Basic Borders dies adds so much! I just love it!

Softly Sophisticated fun-fold card with free project sheet to save & download

January 16, 2024

Here's the other fun fold card I shared on last week's Live video. See the other one here.

I chose to feature the new Softly Sophisticated bundle from our 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Save

See this pretty bundle here. Both the stamp set & embossing folder are free with any $100 purchase through February.

It might not look like a fun fold card, but the front main layers open instead of the entire card like this:

Save

The colors include Bubble Bath, White and Lost Lagoon. During my video I shared another one with Boho Blue instead. It all depends on which sheet of the beautiful Flight & Airy designer paper you choose!

Save

Did you wonder which dies I used on the designer paper and the greeting label? They're the Thoughtful Expressions dies – one of my new favorites. See them here.

Save

See this pretty Flight & Airy designer paper here. It's free with any $50 purchase through February; while supplies last. Don't delay if you want it! I suspect this will be one of the firsts to sell out….

Save

I love Sale-a-Bration where you can earn free products! See it all here.

Below is the video you can watch to see this card and another special fun fold card. Don't forget to follow me on YouTube!
