Gears & Textures bundle; another wow with Candace’s fun fold card


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!

  • Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap


    I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog.  It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.  

    Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.  


    I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors.  I added White & Blushing Bride to it.  

    Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details.  This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!  

    The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.  

    My measurements are simple:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2" X 4"
    • White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

    Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.  

    I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week.  Stop back in!

  • Dainty Flowers cards with time saving tips!


    I made this pretty card in just a few minutes with 1/8 of a 12 X 12" piece of the Dainty Flowers designer paper.  That means you can get 8 cards from each sheet! 

    I made the first cut across at 5 1/2".  Then cut each piece at 3" wide.  This gorgeous print is just one of many in this pack.  It's free with any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from January 5th – February 28th.  See it here. 

       

    If you don't have the ribbon color you want, color it with a Blends marker.  Our Blends markers come in a 2-pack of light and dark; try both to see which one fits your needs.  And did you know that if you go over it more than once you can get a darker shade?  This works on both paper AND ribbon! 

    If you're making multiples of the same card AND heat embossing why not stamp & heat emboss multiples at the same time?  

    I inked the greetings (from Dainty Delight) in Versamark ink and stamped on the Old Olive CS. Then covered in White embossing powder before heat embossing with the Heat Tool.  Now I could trim them into strips for my cards.  

    Tip; you cannot do an entire page at once or the ink dries before you can get powder on it.  I did 4-5 at a time and it works fine.  It all depends on how fast you can cover it with powder.  

    **Before stamping I swiped my card stock with the embossing buddy. This is an anti-static bag that prevents excess powder from sticking where you don't want it.  The embossing buddy is included in our Embossing Additions Tool Kit seen here. 

    You can see more cards in this video I shared on Tuesday.  Click here or on the photo below:
