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!

More ideas with the Botanical Layers & Lovely Layers vellum with video

May 29, 2022

Here are two more cards I made during last week's FB Live video. The Botanical Layers bundle includes both the stamp set and the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" X 5" vellum.

When I saw this piece of vellum with it's multi-hues vellum I knew I wanted to emulate a mountain scene.

Save

I used a direct to paper technique to add ink to this vellum. This means you rub your ink pad directly onto the paper. Watch the video here to see how it's done.

I used Tahitian Tide, Granny Apple Green & Orchid Oasis. I stamped the flowers in Black Memento ink.

Tip: Vellum does not absorb ink. It sits on top so it's best to heat set it or let it dry for an hour or more.

Save

For this next card I simply stamped a few of the images in the Botanical Layers stamp set onto the polka dot printed vellum. I used Parakeet Party & Orchid Oasis inks.

Save

I also used the Amazing Thanks dies seen here. A simple strip of Parakeet Party card stock across the card highlights the greeting.

Sweet Songbirds is adorable on this cute card!

May 27, 2022

We made this adorable card at my May card clubs; it features the Sweet Songbirds bundle and three new In Colors.

Save

The new colors include Tahitian Tide (turquoise), Parakeet Party (green) and Sweet Sorbet (red) along with Soft Suede.

I shot a video of the easy steps to create this card; I hope you watch it. See it here or scroll down to watch it below.

That neat cloud border is created with the Basic Border dies seen here. I love these dies!!

Save

As you can see there are very few layers here; the stamped scene is all you need.

See the Sweet Songbird bundle here. The bird & wing are stamped on a separate piece of White CS and punched out. They're popped up as well as the sign (done on Sahara Sand CS).

Measurements:
• Tahitian Tide card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
• White front 5 1/4" X 4", inside is 4 3/4" X 3 1/2", scraps for bird punches
• Sahara Sand scrap for hanging sign

Tea Boutique card with a pocket for a tea bag of gift card!

May 26, 2022
Yesterday I shared the cute tea bag gift box below on the right. Today I'll share details on the pretty card on the left.

Save

Both projects feature the Cup of Tea bundle and the Tea Boutique designer paper seen here.

The card is an easy fun fold where the card base is a quarter sheet of Fresh Freesia card stock. The Garden Green piece is the part that opens and reveals the tea bag. Of course the tea bag is optional and would work as a gift card holder also.

Save

Here are the measurements:
- Fresh Freesia card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”, & 3 X 3” square for tea
- Garden Green 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
- Designer paper 3” X 5 ¼”
- White inside 3” X 5 ¼”
