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!

Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card

February 24, 2022

We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs. Look at this:

Save

It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult. The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing! It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?!

Save

I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all. I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine! It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too! Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.

The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here. We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder.

*There's a video to see how this card was created. You can watch it here.

Save

The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.

I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles. See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February.

The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.

After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.

Next deal….. how about $100 in free product?

Save

During our Sale-a-Bration promotion (ends February 28th) you can choose $125 in product of your choice for just $99. Plus TWO free stamp sets too! In addition to that the Starter kit includes a free Paper Pumpkin kit, business supplies and catalogs too.

I polled my Flowerbug's Team to ask them why they joined when they did.

Top 5 reasons my gals chose the Stampin' Up! Starter Kit:
1. A good deal
2. Continuous discount
3. Love of Stampin’ Up! products
4. See new products & catalogs early (cannot wait!)
5. Ordering regularly anyway
You may think you have to 'sell' or hold events. Or order a bunch of items to have on hand. Nope! Here are some myths you might have about being a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator:

Myths:
1. You have to sell. Or hold classes. Nope! I call my gals who simply enjoy the discount ‘Happy Shoppers’.
2. It’s a commitment. Wrong. You can quit ordering at any time. Enjoy it while you can and end when you want. There's no pressure from me or Stampin’ Up! to do more than you want to.
3. You have to join in swaps or group activities. It's your choice.
4. I don’t have time. You're in charge! Spend as much time as you want on this hobby; nothing has to change.
5. I’m not creative enough. Case & copy anything you see online or use any of my free tutorials.
Here are some Facts:
1. To stay active, you need $300 in orders/sales each quarter. But with the 20% discount you’re really paying just $240 out of pocket! But you get the benefits of the full $300. WOW! And you're taxed on the lower amount; not the full $300.
2. Your first quarter is waived so you do not need the $300 in orders until the end of June. That means you can pre-order from the new 2021 Annual catalog that starts in April. New In Colors!
3. You get all of the benefits a customer does; including free host rewards and we get our discount on top of special promotions.
4. Plus we get extra $$ income if our orders/sales are over a certain amount each month. That includes our own orders!
Are you ready to get yours?

An amazing flower from the Ladybug Builder punch? Yes!

February 22, 2022

I have been sharing many cards made with the Hello Ladybug stamp & punch bundle in the last few days. I've gone a bit crazy with it lately! If you missed them scroll to the next few posts before this one or watch the video here to see most of them.

I've seen a few samples of flowers made with the Ladybug Builder punch and had to try one myself. I love the dimension you get when you curl the 'wings' a bit!

Save

It's definitely a 3D type flower; maybe suited best for a box or gift bag. Wouldn't that be pretty!

I punched 'wings' from the Ladybug Builder punch from our Simply Marbelous designer paper. This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion through February 28th. See it here!

Save

It's my top favorite item in our Sale-a-Bration catalog! I love that each sheet is monochromatic on both sides; many shades of the same colors. Don't miss out on this amazing paper.

I used quite a few punched wings to make these flowers. Start with a 1 1/2" – 1 3/4" circle punch as a base to add them to, working your way from outside towards the center. Be sure to curl them first with a bone folder.

Save

This card is also a unique fun fold I'd never seen before. I used our Stitched Rectangle dies to cut a partial window in the front fold. You can get my tips on achieving this fold in the video seen here or below.

I used the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks seen here for my background. Our blending brushes make this a breeze.

You can see the measurements in the photo below.
