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.

• Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration

  August 23, 2024

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store. 

  Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

  Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully. 

  Click on the photo below to see it in the store.  Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle:

  Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle.

  Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold. 

  Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it. 

  Here's a list of the products she used:

  • So Swirly embossing folder
  • Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here 
  • Exposed Brick embossing folder
  • Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime

  And look how the cauldron opens!!

  She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening.  So cool!! 

  I'll share more Team swaps next week.

• Who wants a Designer Paper Share from the Holiday Catalog?!

  August 22, 2024

  ---

  I'm offering a designer paper share from the upcoming Holiday Catalog again!  These shares are super popular with so many of you; I glad to help you get a sample of these pretty papers. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  It includes a 6 X 6" sheet of each 10 packs of new paper – that's 68 sheets including specialty papers.  A double share would include 6" X 12" pieces (except those that come in 6" size) it would be $53 plus $8 shipping.  

  I can take names and add you to the list.  However I cannot accept payment until August 27th due to Stampin' Up!'s rules. 

  The earlier you opt in the better your chance is to get these soon.  They can run out of stock on some and then I have to wait until they're available.  I plan to place my order on September 3rd. 

  Message me here to opt in and how you'd like to pay.  PayPal, Venmo, cash or check.  *I can use a credit card but I'd need all of your information for that – address, phone number, card number, expiration date.

• A neat way to show off your Designer Paper with this easy layout

  August 21, 2024

  ---

  Here's one more special card  made with the Nests of Winter designer series paper.  This paper can be seen in the 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! 

  I shared this card in a recent video along with two other fun fold cards. Scroll down to see it.

  The colors are Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. I thought the textured CS strip with twine wrapped around it was the perfect addition to this pretty scene.  This folder is called Birch Wood. The greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. 

  I like that you can really show off your Designer Paper as well as add texture with the strip of CS beside it. This would make a great card layout to mass produce! 

  I created a free project sheet you can download or print. Click on this link: Download Nests of Winter Sympathy card
