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!

Each day this week I'll be sharing their swap cards; be sure to subscribe to my blog (or Facebook page) so you don't miss a thing!

Sharon featured the Sweetest Christmas suite on her beautiful card. I love the clean white background that shows off the gorgeous die-cuts!

Click here to see all of the products in the Sweetest Christmas suite. There are two stamp & die bundles, ribbon, Glimmer paper and the fun Designer Paper.

The peek of Red glimmer paper adds a perfect sparkle to her card.  Here's the inside view:

Adding a strip of designer paper to the inside of your card is a simple way to embellish it to match.

Next is a gorgeous card by Karen featuring the Decorating with Happiness bundle seen here:

Her card is mostly White with Cherry Cobbler, Evergreen & Gold accents.

Check out these fabulous Christmas scene cards by the Flowerbug’s!

October 25, 2022

I love seeing what my Flowerbug's make for our Team swaps. Everyone has their own style and I'm proud to share them with you this week.

First is a sweet card by Candace who featured the North Pole Mischief stamp set.

Save

I love the Red frame she added to the card; it's from the Fabulous Frames dies seen here. She used Blends markers to color the images and added Red Rhinestones to set off the scene.

Here's the inside view; so cute!

Save

Next is a fun card made by Annette who featured the Penguin Place stamp set & Penguin Builder punch. These products are returning favorites from last year and many were super happy about it since the punch ran out of stock last year before some could grab it.

Save

I absolutely love the scene she achieved using the Layering Diorama dies seen here! She used Starry Sky CS on the back, stamping the stars using White Craft ink. Then she added a layer of Orchid Oasis behind the penguin that looks like water. So smart!

Save

Lastly is a pretty card made by Marla. She used the Peaceful Deer stamp set and Deer Builder punch.

She stamped the trio of trees across the background and then one large tree in the foreground. It gives such depth to the scene.

Save

I also like the way she used the Pearlized Enamel effects basics for her tree ornaments. The stamped blue snowflakes in the sky finish the scene off perfectly!

Stay tuned for more amazing swap cards by my Team.

Use your scraps with the Double Twisted Ribbon technique; live class tonight!

October 24, 2022
If you like using up those paper scraps I have a fun technique to share. It's called the Double Twisted Ribbon technique.

I'll be demonstrating it on tonight's Stamp with Me Live on Facebook. It's at 7:30 pm Central time on the last Monday of the month and it's a free class! See the replay here

Save

I chose to use the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here for my card samples. It's so pretty with the gold foil accents and fine patterns.

Tips:
- You'll need 6 strips of two different patterns; you can also use card stock for them. I cut them into 1/2" X 4" strips.
- The strips are adhered to a White piece measuring 2 1/2" X 5 1/4". This is scored every 1" from the top down. These score lines help you when adhering your strips.
- Once your strips are adhered you will add it to a layer measuring 2 3/4" X 5 1/2". I recommend you use a color that coordinates with a color in your DSP.
For this card I chose to use the Holly Berry dies for the leaves & berries. The greeting die-cut is from the All That dies.

Save

My card base is Evening Evergreen. The greeting is from the upcoming Framed & Festive stamp set. It's new and available to Demonstrators in October, but will be out for customers in November.

For this next card I stamped the greeting (also from the Framed & Festive stamp set) onto a die-cut circle from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Save

That pretty gold leaf die-cut is from the upcoming Framed Floret dies – also coming out in November for customers. I added a few Festive Pearls for berries.
