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!

Double Diagonal card fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

January 28, 2025

Have you ever made a double diagonal card fold before? They're a little bit addictive and so easy. This layout is also a great way to combine coordinating designer papers & use up your stash!

Save

Here I used the new Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP along with the With You in Mind stamp set. I love the nice big greetings.

Save

When making this card you start out with a base 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the outer diagonal piece from the score line down to the corner. This is then flipped and adhered to the attached card base. Watch the video here or below to see how to do it.

Save

I used the 'To the Point' punch along with the 2 3/8" circle punch here. They work beautifully together.

Curtain fun fold card with video & free project sheet

January 27, 2025

I shared this neat curtain fold card on a video last week. If you missed it click here to see it. Or slide down a bit.

Save

I chose a few new products from the Spring catalog including the wonderful With You in Mind stamp set & Timeless Plaid designer series paper. The colors include Lost Lagoon with Pebbled Path & White.

If you haven't made a curtain fold yet they're quite easy if you get the scoring correct. I got these measurements from my friend Susie Wood. It's a 6" X 3" piece of DSP scored at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4". I then made a mark on the far right down 1" and cut off the bottom right corner from the first score-line on the bottom to the upper right.

Save

I made a few of these and decided to try stamping the Lost Lagoon layer instead of texturing it with the Plaid 3D embossing folder (right card). Which do you prefer?

Save

The greetings are stamped on a die-cut from the Greetings of the Season dies seen here. It's a good time to order those large items like dies because you can earn free products during Sale-a-Bration.

Save

I created a free project sheet for this card. I recommend saving my project sheets in a folder or binder for easy card layout ideas. *Click on the following link to download or print it. Download With you in Mind Curtain fold
