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!

Slim Sayings bundle is so versatile!

June 8, 2022
Here are a few more samples featuring the Slimline Sayings bundle that is retiring this month. See yesterday's cards here.

This first card features the Hues of Happiness designer paper.

The pretty ombre design in the Hues of Happiness DSP is beautiful with the beautiful die-cut design. I used the Tailor Made Tags for my greeting layers and stamped the 'one' on a piece of So Saffron to make it pop.

Here's the Slim Sayings stamp set; I love this greeting set so much. The variety of fonts and occasions are so versatile.

The card on the right below is simply three colors of card stock – Navy, Soft Succulent and Just Jade. I cut out one in each color to be able to make 3 cards! Just mix & match to fill in the center with the chevron pieces.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- DSP 8 3/8" X 3 3/8"

Fabulous card made with the Slim Card dies; they’re 50% off!

June 7, 2022

This is one of the cards we made at my May card clubs. It features the Slim Sayings bundle in the retiring Jan-June catalog by Stampin' Up!

However, right now the dies are on sale at 50% off with the Last Chance list. See everything on sale here.

Save

My card base is White and I added a piece of Sun Prints Designer Paper behind the chevron die-cut. Scroll down for measurements and the video too.

Did you know we have Slimline Envelopes that perfectly match these dies and a typical slim line card? They carried over into the new Annual Catalog too. They come in 3 colors; White, Smoky Slate & Soft Succulent. See them here.

Save

I used the Slim Saying stamp set along with the Nature's Prints bundle from the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog. See the Slim Saying stamp set here and the Nature's Prints bundle here.

At club they chose either a birthday card or a graduation card; it works for both. And some made theirs into a wedding or anniversary card!

Save

I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

June 6, 2022

I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum. You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack! It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too.

This first card has a printed circle on it. The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath. I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

Save

My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White. The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer.

Save

Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.

Save

Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

Save

For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder. Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful.

Save

The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party. I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.
