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″.
I shared how to make these cards here; I also have a video below you can watch. It's a fun way to use your designer paper and make really quick but eye-catching cards.
As you can see in the photo below it's a type of mix & match game.
Tip: when choosing your designer papers I recommend you pick a large and small print and then one that is more of a background print.

You start out with three different patterns of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5". Stack them together and make the upper right cut – a triangle. You could measure it but I just made sure my stack was even and sliced it off. It's approximately 3/4" from the upper left and 1" from the lower right.
Then for the remaining pieces you continue cutting all three pieces at once, cutting approximately in half on the diagonal and about 1" from the lower left.
You can now mix & match so one piece of each pattern can fit on each of 3 card fronts. I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Berry Burst card stock. That then adheres to your card base – I folded back my front to create a fun fold design.

That pretty greeting is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set; the die is from the Timeless Greetings bundle. This beautiful designer paper (All About Autumn seen here) is not currently available. It will be back in later October though.
The card front doesn't look at all like it might be a fun fold does it? But check this out!
It's called an Accordion fold and she cased this card idea from Sue Campfield. The designer paper on the front is most of the card front; it's adhered to a small layer of card stock though. *You can see the back of the designer paper front on the photo below.
She did an awesome job on the inside of the card; so many layers and textures galore! The texture is from the new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder seen here.
