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.

• Desert Details WOW card

  January 24, 2023

  I spent time playing with the Delicate Desert suite and this is what I came up with:

  I LOVE how it turned out!  I really wanted to use the Dry Brushed specialty paper along with the Desert Details bundle seen here.  The dies in it are so cool!

  The two large rectangles and dies for the stamped flowers are just a few of the dies included.

  My colors include Petal Pink & Soft Succulent. I cut two of the open leaf dies from the center of the Dry Brushed large shape, leaving the outer frame intact. No one but me knows there are empty spaces under the White layer! 

  You can see the Dry Brushed metallic specialty paper here.  It's simply stunning!

  There are two of each sheet in this package of 12" metallic paper for $8.

  I added a few of the Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed sequins on this card too.  They're also part of the Delicate Desert suite seen here.

  I hope you enjoyed this project; it came together so easily.

• Sweet Country Bouquet cards & treat box

  January 23, 2023

  ---

  Jane shared this 'sweet' card and treat box she made at our Flowerbug's team meeting yesterday.  They were for her monthly Club gathering.

  I think they're super cute and had to share them with you.  

  She featured the Country Floral Lane suite; especially the Country Bouquet Bundle seen here.  Unfortunately the Country Bouquet punch is unavailable right now; it's out of stock until possibly April. The heart and leaves would be easy to fussy cut though.   

  She used the Scalloped Contour dies were used on the front and back of her box using the Country Gingham DSP seen here; a simple hand made box is between them to add your treats to.  I might have to make one to share with you!

  I love the greetings added with banners on the front!  She gave me the following measurements for the box: 

  Start with 6" X 5 1/2".  Score on the 5 1/2" side at 1 1/2" and 4". Score on the 6" side at 2 1/4" & 3 3/4".  Cut up to the score lines on the 6" side.  Form your box. 

  For her card she used the Country Floral Lane DSP seen here along with Petal Pink, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Mint Macaron.  Love the layout!

  Mary made this pretty card for our Team swap also featuring the Country Floral Lane DSP.  She also used the Love for You Bundle seen here.

  That 'Love' die-cut from the White layer placed on the angle adds a fun playfulness to the card.  Her hearts and leaves are punched directly from the Country Floral Lane DSP with the Country Bouquet punch. She cased the card from Mary Fish. 

  Measurements:  DSP 3 1/2" X 3 3/4", Sweet Sorbet is 3 3/4" X 4", Petal Pink 2" X 2 1/2", White is 2 1/2" X 1 1/2" 

  Thanks for stopping in today; more to come every day of the week; Monday – Friday!

• Double Pillar Window card technique with video; it’s so cool you’ll want to try it!

  January 20, 2023

  ---

  I made this card on Tuesday's Live video; it's a Double Pillar Window card!  It has so much dimension and is also fun to play with.

  I used the Stitched Rectangle dies – 4 different sizes – on this card. Two for the Country Gingham designer paper frame and two for the Navy frame/layer that's popped up.  *These are a must have! 

  *If you do have these dies I used the 5th & 3rd from the largest for the designer paper frame. For the card stock I used 6th and 2nd from the largest.

  As you can see, I used the Adorable Owls stamp set.  It's available with our Sale-a-Bration promotion in January & February 2023; while supplies last.  It's actually free with any $50 purchase.  See it here.

  See the pillars under the top layer?  They are about 3/8" X 3" and fit right inside the DSP window under the upper layer.  They fold down flat for mailing.

  Measurements: 

  • Navy CS 5 ½” X 8 ½” and stitched die-cut 4 ¾” X 3 3/8” outside size
  • 4” X 5 ¼” DSP, cut with Stitched Rectangles. Pillars – 2 pieces 3” X 1 7/8” DSP; scored every 3/8”
  • White 3 ½” X 2 ½” inside frame, Inside layer is 4 ¾” X 3 ½”

  Here's the inside view.  I colored the owls with Blends markers.  The stitched stars and clouds are from the Give it a Whirl dies seen here.
