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!

Easy Country Club Fun Fold card

May 4, 2020
At first I thought this Country Club designer paper was just for people who liked to golf. But once I had the paper in my hand it's sooo much more than that! It is full of wonderful patterns and plaids too!

Today I'm sharing a project my Card Club gals received in April. It's a unique fold that really shows of this cool designer paper.

The card opens up in the middle and the back is one flat piece. Here are the measurements:
- Night of Navy 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
- Crushed Curry 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Country Club DSP 3" square on top and 1" X 3" on the bottom.
- Green or Smoky slate strip is 3/4" X 4"
I used the A Good Man stamp set for the greetings. I added a knot of the Country Club Twine Combo pack beside the greeting with a mini glue dot.

Here's the project sheet with directions, measurements and products used. You can download and save it or print it out. Download 2020 April Clubhouse birthday

I'll have a few more cards featuring this designer paper tomorrow.

Use the Double Wonder Template to make 11 quick cards! Join me Thursday night!

April 29, 2020
Do you ever planned a stamping session focusing on just a few products? It's easy to get overwhelmed with everything you own. Using this method is actually quite liberating and fuels the creative process. I've started doing that more and more often especially when planning my card kits to go. I pick Stampin' Up! products from the same suite and choose some sketches or layouts for card ideas. the process is so enjoyable this way!

Lately I've been seeing groups of cards using the Double Wonder template and had to try it. It was originally designed by Shannon West from Stampin' Up! It's so clever!! You start out with 2 pieces of 6" X 12" designer paper and using the pieces you can quickly have 11 finished cards!

Look at these! I'll be making these cards Live tomorrow night at 7 pm CT. Join me either here on FB or on Zoom.

Here are the steps:
1. Pick out 2 different sheets of 6 X 12" designer paper and 11 card bases. Make sure you have some ribbons or embellishments to match.
2. Use the template below to cut your designer paper; cutting both at once.
3. Grab some scraps of White and coordinating colors for punches/greetings.
4. Cut 4 pieces of layering card stock at 3 1/4" X 5" and one 3 3/4" square for the bonus card. (I used White)
5. Choose a stamp set & ink to coordinate.
6. Or use the new Share Sunshine Covid-19 digital download like I did for my greetings. No stamping needed! You can purchase that here. https://covid19.stampinup.com/products/giving-back-us-ca Price: $12.00 USD
7. Come back here tomorrow night so we can stamp together.
8. Or use this link to join via Zoom. *see tips on zoom meetings below https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88215870191
I chose to use the new Ornate Garden designer paper for my cards. Anything goes but a non directional design is best; try not to choose a paper that needs to be north and south.
