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.

• My ‘5 at a time’ card templates are addicting!

  December 2, 2021

  ---

  I'm so excite to share this fun & unique idea!  I created two templates that help you make 5 cards at a time.  It's addicting & you'll be looking at your stamps in a whole new way!  

  I shared this on last week's Facebook Live and it was a hit!  It's so fun to do.

  For these cards I used the Merry Snowflakes stamp set (seen here) & Pool Party, Bermuda Bay & Highland Heather inks. The card stock is White, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay & Coastal Cabana. If you follow me you know these are some of my favorite colors! They're perfect for snowflakes.

  Below are the templates.  Remember these are 8 1/2" X 11" to start with.  For these cards I stamped before I cut but you can certainly cut your pieces first if you'd like to.

  As you can see these templates have very little waste. 

  Before I stamped I scored on the 4 3/4" and 3 1/2" lines leaving the piece intact. You could also draw a light pencil mark so you know where to stamp. 

  And here is how the White card stock is stamped. (I forgot to take a photo before I cut and layered them.)

  Can you see that the images concentrate on two sides of each piece leaving one corner free & clear? Basically you're stamping down the middle and on each of the lines. This keeps the cards from being too busy.

  I added a few iridescent Wonderful snowflakes (seen here) to some of them; I cannot get enough of these!  They're such a great size & value – you get 24 for $6. 

  I hope you watch the video below to see the tips & tricks on using these templates.

  Below is the video so you can see how it's done.
