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!

I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live. It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!

Save

I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received. It's called Spooky Treats. I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit. I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

Save

The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

Here are the measurements:
- Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
- Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
- DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”
For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie. The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.

Apple Harvest Fun Fold card

September 28, 2022
We made this sweet Apple Harvest card at my card clubs in September. I love the bright colors paired with Black!

Save

The colors include Parakeet Party, Real Red and Black. As you can see I gave them a choice of apple images on the front. The left card above has the large apple bunch and the right card below has a pair of apples with blossoms. And inside the card is a single apple.

The Apple Harvest stamp set is in the 2022 Holiday catalog. The new Apple Blossom dies that coordinate with it are available in September with our Perfect Partners promotion. See them here.

All were colored with Blends markers – Parakeet Party, Crumb Cake & Sweet Sorbet. I added a bit of color lifter on the large red apples to achieve a look of shine & reflection.

Save

This card fold is super simple. Just add an extra score line to your Black card base.
