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.

Poppin’ Pastels Technique with Delicate Dahlia

September 8, 2021
If you've been a stamper for awhile you've likely played with chalks and the Poppin' Pastel technique. If not, check this out!

Save

You'll need just a few supplies – Chalks, Versamark ink and sponge daubers. Well, card stock too!

Tip – choose a solid image with a full surface. Outline images won't work as well here.

Here's how it's done:
1. Ink your image in Versamark ink and stamp on card stock.
2. Dab your sponge dauber in chalk (if it's firm like our new Soft Pastels you may need to scrape some off & use the dust *watch the video below).
3. Dab over your stamped image repeatedly. Do not rub on the outer edges or it may show outside of your stamped area.
4. Blow or dust off excess chalk. Done!

Easy Explosion card video tutorial with Penguin Playmates Designer Paper!

September 7, 2021
On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper. *Follow me on Facebook here.

Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP.

As you can see, it's not a Christmas card. This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.

Save

The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here. This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.

Save

See that cute penguin? It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!

Feels Like Home Sale-a-Bration swaps

September 6, 2021
We had our monthly Flowerbug's Team meeting this weekend and as usual swapped cards. This month we chose a Sale-a-Bration theme. Here are two pretty cards I am sure you'll love.

The first is made by Tracey. She used the Feels Like Home stamp set and a monochromatic look with Cinnamon Cider. I love the fact that you do not have to color this set in. It's beautiful stamped in one color! See this stamp set here.

Save

It's such a rich color! She added tons of texture & details to this card including the torn edges.

Details:
- Stacked Stone background stamp
- One ink – Cinnamon Cider
- Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
- Greeting tag die-cut from the In Bloom dies
- Champagne rhinestones
Save

This next card is made by me in Black, Cherry Cobbler & White.

Save

I stamped the image in Black Memento ink and colored in just the door with Cherry Cobbler blends markers. It adds that fun pop of color. It's also less time consuming than coloring the entire image.

Other details: Silver metallic pearls, heat embossed image punched out with the Double Oval punch.

I added a 2" strip of the Beautifully Penned designer paper on the left. I do love Black & White paper!

This paper is also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. You can see it here.
