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!

Scary Cute ‘side step’ fun fold card by Sharon!

October 18, 2022

Sharon shared this card with us at our last Team Meeting. It's adorable!!

Save

Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black & Granny Apple Green.

She said she cased it from Tammy White. The card base is all one piece. It's called a side-step card and here is a link to a tutorial I wrote years ago. She used the Scary Silhouette dies for the left side and the Bewitching stamp set for the hat & boots on the right.

The hat & boots are popped up on the steps with thin strips of window sheets. There is white glimmer paper behind the die-cuts on the front. I love the say she achieved the silhouette under the Black layer. She did this by snipping the green die-cut in half on the sides and moving it down from the top and up from the bottom.

EASY 5 at a time cards with Leaves of Holly

October 17, 2022

I created a set of gorgeous Christmas cards on last week's FB Live video using my two templates.

Save

I used the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here and these colors – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler. My Soft Succulent card bases are either 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" X 11".

I did use a few images from Merriest Moments stamp set as well.

Here is the main template that you stamp on. It shows the cutting measurements that give you 5 pieces for your card fronts. I frequently use these measurements for the inside of cards; especially when I make a bunch at a time. Instead of just 4 layers you get 5 from one piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock.

Each piece measures 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"

Save

In the photo below I stamped on the Basic White card stock (shown on the right) and then cut that into 5 pieces using the template above. I stamped down the center mostly, leaving open areas in each section so I could stamp a greeting. If it didn't work out (or I just want to), I add a die-cut or punched greeting.

To see how I did this the link for the video is here.

Save

Here's the other template for the colored layer under the stamped White piece. In my case it's Cherry Cobbler. Each piece measures 4 7/8" X 3 5/8" giving you a narrow edge, but all 5 from one sheet with very little waste! Love that!

What do you think? Are you going to try the 5 at a time templates?

The Gorgeous Leaves of Holly bundle is not just for Christmas!

October 14, 2022

The Leaves of Holly bundle is back! It was unavailable for awhile but it's back in stock now.

I made this pretty card for last month's Flowerbug's Team swap. The theme was Fall or Halloween. I wanted to show that this bundle isn't just for Christmas. What do you think?

Save

I used Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss and a bit of Old Olive here. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments set seen here.

After I stamped the card panel I felt it was a bit busy so I added a layer of Vellum card stock over it. I love the soft feel that the vellum gives!

Here's a peek at the Leaves of Holly bundle. It's full of pretty images and wonderful dies. The greeting die-cut with the leaves attached is my very favorite; see it on the bottom left below. See it in my store here.

Save

For added texture I added sponging around the edge and on the die-cut leaves.

You can see another group of cards I did on a video I just shared. It features my 5 at a time templates.
