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!

All Around Wreath for Christmas

November 10, 2020
Have you noticed the All Around Wreath bundle in the annual catalog? Click here; it's quite the gem! So many occasions are covered in the greetings and die-cuts.

Marilyn made this pretty Christmas themed wreath for our Team Christmas card swap.

Save

She chose to use two shades of green here; Mossy Meadow with Pear Pizzazz along with a few touches of Gold. The pears are heat embossed in Gold powder as well as the shimmery thread.

Other details:
- The greeting is die-cut with the Hippo & Friends dies seen here
- The Vanilla layer is textured with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder
- She used the same wreath die-cut but in two colors, separating them slightly on the card.

November 9, 2020
Tonight at 7:30 pm Central Time I'm sharing how to make these retro style circle cards on Facebook Live. Click here to join me. You can also see this video below!

Basically you need three sizes of circle dies or punches for the start of this layout. Cut them in half and layer together with the edges meeting on one side. Adhere and add a long greeting between the two.

Watch how on my FB Live replay!

Measurements:
- 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base
- 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" Whisper White; the greeting strip is about 5" long and either 1/2" or 3/4" wide depending on your greeting image.
- 1" X 5 1/2" horizontal strip
- Circles from the Stitched Shapes dies are the largest three circles.
You'll want ink, stamps and embellishments that coordinate with your Designer Paper. Remember you could use card stock instead of DSP.
