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.

Here’s the video tutorial for you. I also share another pretty card idea featuring this beautiful bundle.

• Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!

  February 25, 2021

  ---

  Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper.  It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  

  Playing with strips has always been fun for me.  On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long.  Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

  Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.  

  I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between.  I didn't worry about the edges at all.  After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.

  Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper.  I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter.

  The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.

• More ideas with the Oh So Ombre DSP & A Touch of Ink stamp set; both FREE for just 5 more days!

  February 24, 2021

  The end of Sale-a-Bration is nearing and I had to get one more play in with these two amazing products. A Touch of Ink stamp set & Oh So Ombre Designer Paper.  Both of these are free with a qualifying order through February 28th.

  This sliding latch card is quite unique and fun too.  My friend Karen shared it with us at a recent Team meeting and I had to learn how to make it. She found the idea from Chris Slogar.  It's so cool!

  You need the Classic Label punch, Designer paper and a few punched or die-cut images for the front and inside.

  I chose to use the flower and hummingbird images in this set.  I stamped the flower using both the outline and solid images.  For the hummingbird I stamped the outline image on a scrap of White CS and colored it in with Blends markers.  Then I fussy cut it out and added to the circles.

  This card is so neat!  But you'll definitely want to watch the video below to catch the important 'how to' tips.

• A Touch of Ink Fun Fold card with Oh So Ombre; quick & easy!

  February 24, 2021

  We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs!  I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile!  There was an option for everyone's needs.

  Aren't they pretty?!  I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly.  The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though.  You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th.  Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.  

  Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.
