I have some exciting news to share with you today – and it’s all paired with a gorgeous card I made just for this post. Here’s a quick rundown of the good things I’m sharing with you:
- The Gears & Textures Bundle is back in stock
- I have a beautiful card to share featuring this new bundle
- I’m kicking off a brand-new class using Gears & Textures – and you can sign up today!
I hope you’ll scroll through the post to catch all three. ♥
Back in Stock!
For the past week, the Gears & Textures Bundle has been unavailable, with an expectation that it would be back in stock next week. But … I received my email from Stampin’ Up! yesterday letting me know it’s already back in stock!
Here’s a look at this incredible new bundle:
Stampin’ Up! has done such a great job of restocking items quickly after they become unavailable, and the email reminder is always so helpful. ♥
If you don’t yet have this bundle, you can get it from me when you sign up for my online class – more on that after the card I made to share with you today.
Celebrate with Gears & Textures
I couldn’t help but add to the celebration by making this card to share with you today:
The focal panel on my card is a gorgeous page from the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper. While there’s already some texture on this page, I added additional weathering with the Gears & Textures stamp set. Here’s a closer look at the panel before I added the gears and sentiment:
Here’s another closer look at the colors and patterns in the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper:
The gears are cropped using a variety of dies from the Gears & Textures Bundle. I cut all of the gears from Pecan Pie, Early Espresso, and Gold Foil, then mixed and matched the pieces as I layered them on the card. I also included a textured strip from the dies that pops out over the sentiment. Here’s a closer look:
The sentiment is pulled from the Christmas-themed Keeping Traditions stamp set (you’ll see the image included in the product listing below). It’s a little tricky to see in the photos, but I also added an Early Espresso panel embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder.
To finish the card, I added three Streaked Dots for even more texture and shine – the perfect accent for these gorgeous, layered details.

Gears & Textures Online Class
The timing couldn’t be more perfect for the kickoff of my Gears & Textures Online Class. Don’t worry – Emma and I will continue offering our Super-Awesome Fun Time Card Kits. This new class gives me the chance to offer a smaller, focused class featuring a collection of products I know you’ll love.
The class features four cards I’ve designed using the Gears & Textures Bundle and coordinating products. The projects are simple, fun, and satisfying to make – and you’ll be proud to send these cards to people you love.
The Class
Each Gears & Textures Online Class includes:
- Everything you need to create the four exclusive card designs (card bases, layers, die-cut elements, accessories, and envelopes)
- The Gears & Textures stamp set (or another stamp set of equal or lesser value), with the option to upgrade to the Gears & Textures Bundle
- A detailed PDF tutorial for each project, including product lists, measurements, and photos
- An invitation to the Zoom Call I’ll host on Thursday, February 26 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm ET
I’ll guide you through each project during the call, and then we’ll make the cards together. I’ll also leave time for you to share what you’ve created with the group. ♥

Last Thoughts
This bundle is packed with texture, detail, and versatility, and I’m thrilled it’s back in stock. Pairing it with Nature Walk Designer Series Paper really lets the layers and finishes shine. If you enjoy classes that are relaxed, creative, and full of inspiration, I think you’ll love working with this collection as much as I do.
