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.

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.

• Seriously the Best Cards with Golden Honey Folio gift pouch & video

  February 10, 2020

  ---

  I made this gorgeous cards & folio pouch project two weeks ago on Facebook Live.  Join me each Tuesday at 11 am CT.  Follow my FB page here. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I chose to use the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper for my color inspiration.  It's Black, White with Gold foil accents. Measurements and details are below.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  As you can see I made a few cards with just black, white and gold. Then I added color on the other with Melon Mambo & used just the black and white DSP.  You can add any of your favorite colors to this pretty paper; Black and White is just the beginning!

  Here are the measurements for the folio pouch and cards.

  • Folio is 8 1/2" X 11".  Score on the long side at 5 1/4" and 5 3/4". Score on the short side at 6 1/2".
  • DSP on the front is 4 1/2" X 5 3/4" and the white layer is 4 5/8" X 6" 
  • Cards measure 4 1/4" X 9"; scored at 5 1/2". DSP is 3 1/4" X 4" and 1 7/8" X 4".

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Here's the Melon Mambo version of this folio:

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The little leaves and butterfly are from the Nature's Thoughts dies seen here.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Products are pictured at the end of this post.

• Positive Thoughts; This or That?

  February 7, 2020

  ---

  I made two versions of this card; one for a swap and another for a card class. Which do you prefer?

  
  
  
  
  
  

  
   Purple Posy on the left and Petal Pink on the right. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Both card bases are Gray Granite.  See the Positive Thoughts stamp set here.  And the coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies here. Buy both and earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice with your $50 order! 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  
  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I did have trouble getting a good photo of the actual colors on this one.  I added Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon and Champagne rhinestones to this one. I cannot resist adding these when I can.  They're beautiful!
