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!

Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!

August 25, 2020
Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap. She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.

Can you spy the two special techniques here? Keep reading and I'll share them below.

Measurements:
- Cajun Craze 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Very Vanilla 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
- Rich Razzleberry 5" X 3 3/4"
- Plaid Tidings 1/2" X 3 3/4"
Products Used:
- Gather Together Bundle seen here just $38.50
- Woodland embossing folder
- Cajun Craze & Mango Melody inks
- Label me Lovely punch
- Stampin Spritzer
Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!
1. Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves? The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water. The water changes the color on the leaves! I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect. Super cool!!
2. Next is the greeting shape. It's made with the Label me Lovely punch. You can get multiple shapes from this punch. Here's how:
- Punch one piece out.
- Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece.
- Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!

Here are three shapes I made with this punch. Super neat and so versatile! See the punch here.

So Much Happy card with video

August 24, 2020

We made this eye-catching, birthday card at my July card clubs last month. It features the fun So Much Happy bundle.

I also used the Brights & In Color designer paper for the balloons and the Rainbow Glimmer paper for the pennant die-cut & bitty stars. They had a choice of Magenta Madness, Granny Apple Green or Coastal Cabana for their card. That cute White greeting die is from the Hippo & Friends dies.

The dies in this bundle especially caught my eye; I think they're super versatile! I just love the window the 'Happy' die creates! Click here to see it.

Check out the video below to see how this card is made.

Measurements:
Black CS 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
Inside layer CS 4" X 5 1/4"
Scraps of Rainbow glimmer paper, White, Designer paper for punches and die-cuts

Beautiful Autumn cards; swaps by the Flowerbugs!

August 21, 2020
Today I'm sharing two more swaps from my Flowerbug's Fall card swap. My Team members are so talented and I absolutely love seeing their creativity!

Both of these are made with the Beautiful Autumn bundle in the 2020 Holiday Catalog by Stampin' Up!.

First is the card Tracey made. She added sooo many details and layers to her card; it's incredible!

Save

Details:
- Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Blackberry Bliss card stock
- The pretty borders are from the Ornate Border dies seen here
- The texture is done with the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing folder
- The punched leaves are from the Autumn Punch pack cut from the Regals DSP pack and some dies are from the Forever Flourishing dies
Save

Mary's card is almost the opposite of Tracey's; clean and simple where the Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper is the star of the Mint Macaron card. Her greeting is also from the Beautiful Autumn set as well as the stamped & punched leaves. She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for the DSP and the greeting.

Save

The Gilded Autumn paper has Copper and Gold foil on some designs. Some designs can be cut out using the Autumn Punch pack punches.
