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″.

Have you ever made a double Z-fold card? They look difficult but honestly they are quite simple! I shared how in last week's video tutorial. I also have a free printable project sheet for you!
I featured the new Meandering Meadows 6" designer series paper from the Online Exclusives. It's stunning with 12 different watercolor scenes!
I love how the printed strip on the bottom has the colorful stream; it matches the DSP on the card perfectly! I sure do love this new paper! I will be featuring it in a December card kit to go. And these cards may be included!
At first I was going to leave it quite simple on the left front, then I thought of the Bough punch and tried that. I liked it so I added it to both cards which you can see below.

I used Balmy Blue for both card layers and added Garden Green and a bit of Highland Heather with the punches.
It's hard to tell but I used two different sheets of this pretty designer paper here. One for the left two panels and another for the large one on the right. Then I was able to trim the bottom DSP layer off and use it for the 1" strips on the bottom layers. A perfect match!
You can see a glimpse of each sheet in the photo below. It's 6 X 6" in size and filled with watercolor scenes. This type of designer paper allows you to let the pretty scenes do the work for you. Click here to see it.
Multiple ideas for the new Meandering Meadows DSP; with free project sheet & video
Last week's Live video featured the new and stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper. I shared 4 great ways to use it from quite simple to a special fun fold card. This designer paper is a new release among our Online Exclusives. There are lots of new products out this week; see them all here.
Today I'm sharing this card; a new way to feature both sides of your designer paper.
See how the upper left and lower right corners are flipped? I simply marked the edges at 2 1/2" and cut off each corner. Then flipped it over to show the opposite side of the designer paper.
Next add a thin strip of coordinating Garden Green card stock.
The second card above is made with Balmy Blue. The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set in the 2023 Holiday catalog; a go to favorite of mine. The greeting die-cut on the left is the 'All That' dies and the right is the Lasting Label punch.
