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!

Have a Hoot Bundle; for Christmas!

October 23, 2020
At first I thought this bundle was just for Halloween. But when looking at the images provided it works wonderfully for Christmas too!

I made these cards on Facebook Live last week. I've been working with the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper all week; it's simply gorgeous and in so many of my favorite colors!

Here's the first one. Did you know the Peek-a-Hoot dies cut out all 3 window at once?! There's no measuring or figuring out placement at all. You can see the video below.

I stamped directly onto the Snowflake Splendor designer paper here. I love the pretty purple/blue background! The two owls are die-cut using the same die set. I added a bit of color to them with Blends markers and finished with a bit of Balmy Blue glimmer accents and Adhesive Backed Snowflake Sequins.

This next card uses two of the tags left when die-cutting the windows on the card above. I did cut out one extra. I stamped and colored directly on them.

Other details:
- A glimmer die-cut star covers up the 'spider' on the center panel.
- The Highland Heather panel (4" X 5 1/4") is embossed with the Winter Snow embossing folder.
- the 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip of Snowflake Splendor DSP is under the three stamped tags.
- The greeting tag is punched with the Everyday Label punch; start with a 1/2" white strip. Stamp and punch.
