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!

Triple Accordion fun fold card with Lights Aglow DSP; easy but WOW!

October 21, 2022
I love this unique fun fold card; I'm calling it a triple accordion card. I demonstrated it on this week's FB Live video. See it here on my YouTube channel.

Save

I featured the Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here. It's so beautiful in Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Black, Evening Evergreen and pretty gold foil accents. Luckily it's back in stock right now.

Save

Here's what the card looks like folded flat. It shows off multiple sheets of the designer paper and fits in a standard A2 envelope, measuring 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".

Save

I used a few other products here; especially gold themed items.

Gold foil and Gold Distressed paper, Elegant Metallic trim, Gold embossing powder & Festive Pearls. I also used the Twinkling Lights and Layering Circle dies and the Brightest Glow stamp set.

For variety I added some Evening Evergreen to the next card.

Save

Measurements:
- Cherry Cobbler card base 4 ¼” X 11” scored at 2 ½”, 3 ¾”, 6 ¾” & 8 ¼”
- DSP 2 pieces at 4” X 4”, the center Cherry square is 3". Vanilla 2 ½” X 4”
Below you can see the gold tree & dotted die-cut snowflakes & garland from the Twinkling Lights dies here. Again, the greetings are all from the Brightest Glow stamp set seen here.

The greeting die-cut for the 'joy' is from the Potted Succulents dies; a few loops of gold cord are added underneath it.

Save

Which one do you prefer; the card with some Evergreen or the one all Cherry Cobbler?

Look what you can do with the Charming Landscapes embossing folders

October 20, 2022

I shared a fun way to use the Charming Landscapes embossing folders in this week's FB Live video. Look!

Save

After I textured White card stock with the folders I trimmed the excess off and adhered it over a piece of Lights Aglow designer paper and then onto my White card base. So simple with just a little bit of fussy cutting. See the Charming Landscapes embossing duo here.

Save

The greeting is from the Brightest Glow stamp set, heat embossed with Gold embossing powder. A few loops of gold cording is added to the back.

Here's another version; a bit more fussy cutting on this one though!

Save

This one did take more time to trim…. I added light So Saffron Blends marker and Wink of Stella to the little village houses.

What do you think? I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold colors.

Save

Below is the video where I show these cards and a special fun fold card too. All made with the beautiful Lights Aglow specialty designer paper seen here.

Cute ideas for Santa Express bonus cards; included in the Kit to Go

October 19, 2022

Before we get to today's cards; I have to make sure you know about the Clearance Rack refresh. So many great deals; but they're while supplies last. Click here to see them.

This month one of my kits to go features the Santa Express Memories & More cards seen here. I sincerely enjoy playing with these cards & the many extra elements included in them.

Besides the 10 cards & envelopes they'll make with the kit and PDF tutorial I've created some bonus cards they can make as well. Here's a peek at them:

Save

There's no stamping on any of these; all greetings and layered pieces are from the kit itself.

Notice the cursive words and the stars? These are wooden elements included in the kit! I colored them with Blends markers. They're actually nice and thin; maybe around 1/16" in height.

Here's a link to this kit to go. It's while supplies last; so opt in soon!
