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

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.

Save

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.

  Here are a few more team swaps featuring Stampin’ Up!’s specialty papers:

  First up today is Tracey’s card who used the fractured technique.

  Save

  This technique starts with a large piece of designer paper. Then add the diagonal square layer. Next you simply start adding the thin strips of DSP around the edges of the square piece; trimming off the excess on the outer edges. So easy!

  She chose the Lovely & Beautiful DSP for the main piece and the strips are the Season of Elegance specialty DSP found in the Annual Catalog.
  The greeting is from Blessed Beginnings stamp set. I love the thin layer of gold on the outer edge!

  Measurements:

  • Olive card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
  • Gold layer 5 1/8″ X 3 7/8″
  • DSP is 3 3/4″ X 5″, inside DSP 5 1/4″ X 4″
  • thin DSP strips are 1/4″ thick.
  • White square is1 7/8″, inside is 5″ X 3 3/4″

  Save

  The inside greeting is from Prayers & Promises, the flower and leaves are from the Simply Beautiful stamp set.

  Next is a pretty card made by Marla who also used the Season of Elegance DSP.

  Save

  The main circle dies are from the brand new Springtime Scenes bundle which is currently out of stock. The greeting circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.
  Her colors are Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry & Basic Beige.

  Card base is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. DSP is 4″ X 5 1/4″
