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.

Last of the amazing swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team; Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!

March 29, 2022
Today's post features the rest of the Team swaps. Our theme was Black & White with a 'POP' of color. I love this theme so much; adding a bit of Black on a card provides a wonderful contrast to other colors and attracts the eye.

The first card was made by Candace; she used the Kite Delight stamp set along with Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & So Saffron. See the set here.

Save

She stamped her background and then stamped and fussy cut the kits separately to pop them up on the card. Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on the Black CS strip. Beautiful!

Tammi made the next one featuring the happy color combo of Magenta Madness & a bit of Granny Apple Green.

Save

The stamped images are from Hello Ladybug; after stamping on the die-cut scalloped circle she used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder.

The Black & White patterned paper is from the Pattern Party DSP – a host paper you can get FREE with host benefits. Once your order goes over the $150 mark you can choose free product! This amazing pack of paper has 40 12 X 12" sheets and is just $18. See it here.

Marilyn made this pretty card using Daffodil Delight.

Save

She die-cut the flower 'window' from the White 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut (largest one in the set) to reveal the dotted designer paper underneath. This die is from the Meadow dies seen here. The polka dot DSP is also Pattern Party host paper.

She colored the white seam binding ribbon yellow with a Daffodil Blends marker. Her greeting is from the Sharing Sunshine stamp set.

The greeting is on a 'Stitched So Sweetly' die-cut too. These dies are retiring! I'm so sad; they are one of my favorite 'go to' dies for labels and layers. See them here.

Next is a fun fold card made by Jacki using a striking pop of Red for this wedding card.

Save

The greeting is from the Celebrating You stamp set in the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here. Again her DSP is the host Pattern Party; can you tell we love this pack!!? The hearts are both punches in the Annual Catalog. They are returning in the new annual catalog.

Her measurements are:
- Black card base 5 1/2" X 11", scored at 1 1/4", 3 3/8", 7 5/8" & 9 3/4"
- DSP front dots – 2 pieces at 1" X 5 1/4", front hatch design – 2 pieces at 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"

Next is a Tracey's card featuring the pretty In Color of Polished Pink.

Save

She used the Artistic dies for the beautiful Black die-cut. She stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set under the die-cuts for a neat watercolor look. The stamp & dies will be returning in the new catalog but they will not be in a bundle at 10% off then.

Her White layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder from the Jan-June mini catalog; see it here.
