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 used the Color & Contour stamp set and all 5 In Colors as well. I used sticky post-it notes to mask off areas as I sponged and stamped each area. Watch the video below to catch the tips on this technique.

Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!

April 26, 2021

Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park! Look at these:

The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. You can see it here.

Save

Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!? That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.

Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.

Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.

Save

She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine. *See that folder here.

That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog. It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!
