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.

• Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

  May 5, 2023

  ---

  I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator. 

  Here's one of my recent projects:

  I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace. 

  My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.   

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge.  It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed.  Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel.

  Measurements are: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
  • left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
  • front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
  • Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside)  & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
  • Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
  • Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

   

  All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog.  If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5.  If you order from me online first I'll send it free!

• Crafting with You; one more way to use it!

  May 4, 2023

  ---

  During this week's Live video I shared how to make this cute card featuring the Crafting with You bundle seen here; new in the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.

  This card is done in Boho Blue with only white to accent it.  I stamped the background with the Cheerful Daisies stamp.  I cut a slit in the stamped & die-cut machine with a craft knife to insert the textured White layer into.  

  I added a 1" strip of the new In Color 6 X 6" DSP to the White cardstock before I die-cut it with the new Countryside Corners dies.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I shared the following photo last week to show you the newest In Colors but since I made a video showing you how to make this card I'm sharing it again now.  

  Which color is your favorite?  From left to right – Pebbled Path, Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve & Boho Blue.
