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.

• New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video

  December 22, 2021

  ---

  Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here.  I think it's super neat!

  I explain how it's done in the video here.  Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it.  Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

  The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.  

  After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center.  Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.

  The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.  

  Below is the video with this project & lots more!

• Easy Medallion cards with the Plenty of Patterns masks with video

  December 21, 2021

  ---

  I played with the Plenty of Pattern masks on last week's FB Live and here are three cards I shared.  Follow me on Facebook here. 

  I decided to feature some of the pretty 2021-23 In Colors.  This first card is in Fresh Freesia.

  I used Blending Brushes and Fresh Freesia ink to add the medallion to the CS. The flower in the center is made with our Shimmer In Color Vellum paper & the Dandy Wishes dies seen here.  

  The greetings are stamped on a strip of White CS.  The edges are created with a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called the Tropical Layer dies. It's a scalloped/stitched edge die I ran through twice.

  Above is Soft Succulent with a Vellum CS flower. 

  Here's a photo of all 3 of them together.  Here you can see three of the four medallions in one of the masks. They're all unique and so pretty!

  And next is our pretty Pale Papaya color.  The flower center is cut from White CS and the edges are curled up and sponged. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Sponged CS 3" X 4 1/4"
  • White layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", greeting strip 1" X 3 1/4"

• A Stunning Christmas to Remember card

  December 20, 2021

  The picture does not do this card justice!  It's stunning in person!

  I received it from Bobby, one of my Flowerbug team members.  It's elegant in the all White & Gold colors.  She added two main layers of the large pine dies; one in white & another in Gold under it offset a bit.  Then a few layered pinecones too.  

  It's made with the Christmas to Remember bundle with White, Gold Foil paper, Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots, Gold heat embossing & Gold shimmer ribbon.  You can see this bundle here.

  The dies are called Christmas Pine Cone dies and can be seen here.
