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.

Plentiful Plants Cards

June 14, 2021

I took some time to play with the new Plentiful Plants bundle last week and came up with these cards:

Save

Can you believe that both the brick, the pots and leaves are all cut from the designer paper? I did stamp the plant on the left but the others are all die-cut from the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP. I love when Stampin' Up! gives us paper and dies that coordinate.

Save

The bottom Soft Succulent CS is made with the Stitched Leaves die; one of my new favorites! See it here.

~~~

This next card also features the Bloom Where You're Planted DSP.

Save

Each of the three plants & pots are from the DSP except for the bowl in the center. That is a die-cut made from Cinnamon Cider CS. I placed them on a die-cut from the Hippo & Friends dies. I sponged the bottom with Cinnamon Cider ink.

This card is 4 1/4" X 11" and scored at 1 1/4" and 6 3/4". The right flap is glued down and has a 1" X 4" Soft Succulent strip adhered to it. It was textured with the Macrame 3D embossing folder seen here.

Bright Color Combo card with the new Watercolor Shapes set

June 11, 2021

I have lots of creative challenges for my Flowerbug's Team and this time it was a color challenge featuring Night of Navy, Magenta Madness & Granny Apple Green. Fun, vibrant colors I knew would be fun to play with.

Save

I cut off an inch from the right edge of my Navy card and added a strip of Granny Apple Green DSP on the inside edge.

I chose to use a stamp set that I hadn't used yet; Watercolor Shapes seen here.

Save

I stamped the watercolor shapes all over the 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" White CS but I did stamp off first for a lighter hue. The greeting stands out more then.

I found a 'hello' greeting in each of the following stamp sets; Blossoms in Bloom, Create with Friends, Timeless Tropical, Sweet as a Peach, Artistically Inked & Sweet Strawberry. I had no idea we had that many 'hello's' in our sets!

What do you think of this color combination?

Save

I stamped a few of these images twice and fussy cut them so I could add some dimension to the card front. I also added the new In Color Square Gems and a few of the Clear Epoxy Essentials that I colored Granny Apple Green with a Blends marker.

Inked Embossing Folder technique; it’s SO pretty!

June 10, 2021
I decided to play with an old favorite technique where you add ink directly onto an embossing folder 'before' you run it through the die-cutting machine. I shared how on the FB Live video here.

This first card features the Polished Pink CS & ink.

Save

I used two new products in our 2021-22 Annual Catalog; the Pretty Embossing folder and the Create with Friends stamp set seen here. That pretty die-cut label is from the Potted Succulents dies seen here.

This Pretty Embossing folder seen here is my free giveaway for online orders over $50 this month (before tax & shipping) using the host code seen below.

I made one in each of our newest In Colors; Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and the Polished Pink.

Save

I shared a video with other techniques using the Pretty Embossing folder my FB Live here. Or click on the photo/link below.

I cannot stop playing with these fabulous new In Colors. They are my absolute favorite grouping for many years! And that ribbon!!! See the entire new 2021-23 In color line here.
