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.

• Love Cats video tutorial with an easy but unique fun fold

  March 15, 2023

  ---

  We made this CUTE card at my February card clubs.  It really shows off the Love Cats stamp set seen here.

  I shared it on my FB Live yesterday (see video below). It's sort of a unique fold in that the card base is a quarter sheet and the Sweet Sorbet is smaller and opens; see?

  In order to get full, solid images I used the Stamparatus for the cats.  It makes a world of difference!  *Catch the tips in the video below.

  *Other items used here are the Conversation Bubbles dies, Pastel Adhesive-backed sequins, Balmy Blue variegated ribbon, Stylish Shapes dies, White embossing powder, Heat Tool, Sweet Sorbet Blends marker

  • Card base 8 ½” X 5 ½”
  • Sweet Sorbet 8” X 5 ¼” scored at 4”

• Multiple amazing ‘WOW’ cards featuring the Legendary Ride bundle!

  March 13, 2023

  ---

  Each month in our Flowerbug's Team a member is featured as 'Artist of the Month' and shows off a bundle or suite of projects.  In February it was Jane and she chose to use the Legendary Ride bundle.  She did an amazing and creative group of cards!

  Take a look at these incredible samples:

  Do you see the orange racks holding up the bike?  She used the 'seat' dies to create it.  She also sponged on them a bit so they were 'well used'!  Ha!  

  The background with clouds and the checkered bottom are all from the Ready to Ride DSP.  Look at the detail on her motorcycle!  The dies are incredibly detailed. 

  This next card is a center step card.  It also features multiple pieces of the Ready to Ride designer paper. It's hard to see in the photo but she die-cut the seat from the Black foil in the DSP.

  She sure made the most of this unique Legendary Ride bundle by Stampin' Up!  You can see it here online.

  This next card features a pocket greeting on the front. You can pull it up and remove it to use as a bookmark. She textured the front panel with the Metal Plate 3D embossing folder seen here.  Perfect texture for this guy card.

  She added color to the Ready to Ride floral paper above using a Sweet Sorbet Blends marker. She really showed off this unique designer paper on her projects.  I LOVE the shiny black foil accents.  See it here.

  Next is a great guy birthday card that doesn't feature a motorcycle at all. She added elements from the He's the Man DSP in the Annual Caalog.

  And last is this neat card with a road map and bike tread with a more colorful bike.  See the Adhesive Backed studs on the upper corners?  They pair wonderful with this suite.  See them here.

  Thanks for sharing your creativity with us Jane! Your creativity & talent is amazing!
