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.

Delicate Lace Edgelits; marked down & on sale!

May 7, 2020

I am shocked at the price of the Delicate Lace Edgelit dies on the Last Chance list. They are marked down from $29 to $11.60 right now. I've used them a ton; in fact one of our Club cards features them this month.

Here are some examples of how amazing these edgelit dies are.

**This stamp set and floral dies are retired – just look at the edglit!

You might wonder about the card above. It was made at one of my Technique classes. The tissue paper was colored with Pigment Sprinkles, dried and adhered loosely to card stock. Then swipe Versamark over it and heat emboss with Gold powder.

You can see them online here.

Follow Your Art – more easy Double Wonder cards

May 6, 2020

I made another group of cards using the Double Wonder template. These are so quick and easy to make and the measuring sure isn't much when you consider it makes 11 cards!

You start out with two pieces of 6" X 12" designer series paper. It does need to be double sided.

Download the template & directions here. Download Double Wonder cards & template

I chose to use the Follow your Art designer paper. It will be perfect for all of my crafty friends and customers. Did you know it's on sale right now? It's just $4.60 instead of $11.50 right now? It's on the Last Chance list here. There are so many amazing deals right now!

I'll show you each set of cards separately. First up is Layout 1. It's fun to mix and match the pieces of designer paper cut from the template. With double sided paper you get quite a few options.

Next is Layout 2 using two 1" strips of DSP on each card. You can jazz them up as much as you want; I kept them fairly simple using punches and die-cuts in my scraps.

Lastly is Layout 3 and the bonus card on the right.

I used the Crafting Forever stamp set (retiring) and just a few colors of ink; Pacific Point, Blushing Bride and Crushed Curry for sponging. I did use the Crushed Curry ribbon on many of these cards and the Gingham Gala adhesive backed sequins. They are both on sale too!

Don't miss out on the amazing deals; get them while you can. Click here. I doubt we'll have many things on sale for awhile….
