New Nature’s Symphony top fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial

December 29, 2025

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas last week. We sure did but we missed our youngest son & his wife. They were hit with the flu the day they were going to drive up here. It wasn’t the same without them! But we still had our Appetizer Showdown competition and played lots of games including our annual Minute to Win It games. Always lots of laughs! I highly recommend doing these with family or friends. It’s one of our highlights of the time we spend together.

I shared this easy fun fold card on last week’s Live video. It features new product from the upcoming 2026 Spring catalog.

I featured the Nature’s Symphony bundle and the new Nature’s Walk DSP. I cannot share links to these products because they’re not available for customers quite yet. Tomorrow on my week’s Live video I’ll share all of my new products from both the Spring catalog and the newest Online products – both coming out in early January. Join me here.

My colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and Old Olive with White. Besides the Nature’s Symphony bundle I added a die-cut for the greeting from the Textured Notes dies seen here.

This card is an easy fun fold layout. The back is simply 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ and the center is a full 3 1/4″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″. It gives you a large area to add your patterned paper on the front. I made many of these cards for a long distance swap I joined in.

I created a free project sheet for this card Click here to download or print it. There’s also a video tutorial below as well.

The Nature’s Walk designer paper is filled with textured patterns. I love the colors in it; the blues & greens are just my style.

Here’s the video tutorial for you. I also share another pretty card idea featuring this beautiful bundle.

Introducing the new 2020-22 In Colors!

May 12, 2020

They're in my hands! The new In Colors that is. Look at these gorgeous new colors we'll all get to play with soon!

I added a few of our current colors of card stock with each new color so you can compare them. The Misty Moonlight is like soft, worn denim.

This one seems like a color we've never had before! It's a honey brown or rich, caramel color.

The Magenta Madness is a pretty bright pink. If you've been around long enough it reminds me of the Pink Passion we used to have years ago.

The Bumblebee is a golden version of Crushed Curry but a bit brighter.

Just Jade is a pretty green and also seems different from anything I remember us having before. It's lovely!

Here's a sneak peak of 5 cards I made with LOTS of brand new products! Everything is new but the White card stock.

How many new products can you spy here?

We are going to absolutely LOVE these new colors! I cannot wait to play and create new, favorite combinations with our current line of colors.

Special offer! Each year at my Open House event in early June I offer my local gals a fabulous bundle of our new In Color products . This year I'll be offering it online to everyone (in the USA)! It's usually consists of the In Color ink pads, ink refills, assorted In Color card stock, In Color designer paper and embellishments (or ribbon). Then with that purchase they get the set of In color markers free! It's a great way to have it all and not worry about needing ink refills or markers later.

However Stampin' Up! is already running low on a few of these items so I may have to change it up this year. I'll know more the last week of May, which is when I'll open it up to everyone. The Covid-19 crisis is sure causing havoc with shipping and inventory; not just with SU but globally. But we make do with what we have right? And that will include a ton of new and excited products!
