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.

Brewed for You; a fabulous guys ‘fun fold’ card with video tutorial

June 16, 2023

We made this special fun fold card for the dad's or men in our lives at a recent card club. It features the Brewed for You stamp set and Brewed dies.

Save

I LOVE the colors – Black, Smoky Slate, White and Crushed Curry. This fun fold looks complicated but it's super easy!

Start out with a gatefold card, then you need a Black cardstock square and die-cut a square from the center. Adhere the frame on one side and the solid square to the other.

Save

It's fun to play with too. We stamped the bottle, glass and spatter using Versamark ink onto the front of the card base. Then added two strips of textured Crushed Curry card stock to each side.

See the stamp set here and the Brewed dies here.

The beer glass and mug were stamped in Smoky Slate and Crushed Curry. Measurements and video can be seen below.

Measurements:
• Smoky Slate card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" from each end plus a strip for greeting
• Crushed Curry 2 pieces 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
• Black 3 3/4" square; die-cut a square from the center; use both frame and inside square

Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2

June 15, 2023

Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects. They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.

Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party. I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.

Save

She also made these two adorable candy boxes.

Save

The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.

Save

This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs. It fits in there so perfectly!

I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine.

Save

And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

Save

She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.

Save

It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.

Save

You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here. And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

Here is a photo of all of her gorgeous cards:

Incredible Sweet Citrus cards by Karen – lots of ‘Wow’s’!

June 14, 2023

Karen was our Team Artist of the Month in April and she knocked it out of the park! I cannot believe I haven't shared them yet….. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set, Hybrid embossing folder & dies. Look at these gorgeous cards!

Save

Her colors are Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide. Love those limes and the turquoise leaves.

Save

The card above features Mango Melody with Polished Pink; these colors have since retired. That striped paper was a host paper in the last catalog. The white edge die-cut is from the Basic Borders dies.

Save

LOVE these bright colors with Starry Sky! Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple green. Those vellum leaves and sprigs are a wonderful accent (from the Bough punch).

Save

this last card features Pumpkin Pie with Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil. She called this card 'Fruit Salad' since it combines many of the fruits she used in other cards.

You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here. And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

I'll share more of her cards tomorrow.
