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!

Fun Treat box made from our Acetate Card Boxes

September 21, 2021

Did you know we carry the perfect size clear box for gifting a set of A2 cards? You can see them here or on page 137 of the annual catalog. They fit about 4 cards inside depending on how many layers there are.

Save

Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!

Save

It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set.

There's a template for the card stock below. She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to. If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments. It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar!

Save

She uses a mini velcro dot for closure. The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.

Save

And here's the template for the card stock insert.

Be Dazzling specialty paper is sold out! Fabulous Summer Shadow dies projects with video!

September 17, 2021

I cannot believe the many ways you can use these Summer Shadow dies seen here! I shared two bright, fun cards yesterday here and have more yet today.

Save

I sure love the leaves in Coastal Cabana & Pool Party! The flowers are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride.

Save

The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set in the Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer seen here. I love the greetings & font in this set! That heat embossed greeting/die-cut is from the Messages die.

Save

Next up I created some colorful cards using the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty designer paper. As of today this paper is SOLD OUT unfortunately. They did predict they'd run out of this paper before Sale-a-Bration is over.

Just so you know, these Summer Shadow dies (and the Sheep dies) are also expected to run out!

Save

I used Blends markers to color my flowers. You can see this in the video below. The card base is Granny Apple Green and the vertical strips are Poppy Parade on the left & Magenta Madness on the right.

Save

Which is your favorite?

Save

I'm so sorry that this gorgeous paper is unavailable now. I hope most of you ordered it while you could!

Below is the video where I share lots of cards featuring the Summer Shadow dies and the Shaded Summer stamp set. Click on the photo to watch.
