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!

4 Season Easel Calendar with video & free project sheet

January 6, 2025

Today I'm sharing a super special 4-season calendar card. I cased one I made 10 years ago!  We made this at my December card clubs.

Save

I stamped the background with the Sparkling Snowflakes set in Pool Party & Pretty Peacock inks.

It looks like an ordinary card front doesn't it? It actually is with the exception of the latch I added.

Save

This latch is slipped under the calendar on the inside of the card. The reason why I choose the inside is so it doesn't show on the bottom. I hope you'll watch the video here or below to see how it's done.

For the Spring season I used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set and colored with Blends markers.

Save

My smart husband created the calendar for this project. You can access the 2025 calendar here. And the 2026 Calendar here *However you will need to scale your printer to 90% instead of the usual 100%. *please don't ask me how to do this; each printer is different.

For the Summer season I used the Round we Go set in Lemon Lime Twist, Azure Afternoon and Petunia Pop inks.

Save

For the last season I chose to use a layer of designer series paper (Nests of Winter). In hindsight I could have used DSP on every season. It would save a ton of time if you're making a bunch at a time.

Save

Below is the video tutorial for this card; it's helpful to get the tips to make your creating easier. Don't forget to follow me on Facebook here or my YouTube Channel here.

Use both sides of your DSP on this neat ‘back fold’ card; so easy!

January 3, 2025

I joined a few online swaps in December so I could get lots of samples for my New Catalog Launch on January 18th. I love to showcase lots of products from the new catalogs each time.

This is one I made featuring the Friends of the Ocean DSP:

Save

My colors include Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie. You cannot tell from the photo above that it's a fun fold card but it is. And it's so easy!

The Friends of the Ocean DSP is so colorful and fun; here's a peek it.

Save

The layered greeting is attached to the right sided edge and it holds the left side closed.

Save

How? There's an extra score line 1" from the edge. The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1" and 4 1/4".

I used the new With You in Mind stamp set for this card. I love it because the greetings are nice & large and it's my friend Julie Davison's million $ stamp set! The greeting fits onto the new To the Point punch well and that layers on our 2 3/8" circle punch perfectly.

**All of these products are coming out in the Spring Catalog on Tuesday, January 7th.
