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.

Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!

December 28, 2020
I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend! We sure did. It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together.

Here's another card we made at my December card clubs. It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too. It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style. Scroll down to see the video.

You just need three circles of different sizes. I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges. I use these dies so much! If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here.

I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets. Just one ink color; Night of Navy.

Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives. See that video here.

Let it Snow?! Are you having a White Christmas?

December 25, 2020

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are enjoying your Holiday today and that you are able to spend time with some of your favorite people. This year is so unusual and difficult for many who are isolated. I wish you the best and thank you for your support this past year.

We did just get snow this week; very unusual for us in North Dakota! So it's a white Christmas after all.

Here are two of my favorite wintery cards featuring my Life is Beautiful stamp set.

Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!

December 24, 2020

Are you a last minute wrapper? I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live. Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score.

Save

Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock. Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special. I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated.

I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes. Now consider how much DSP you have stored up! Use it; you can do it!

Save

And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

Save

I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers. Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy.

Save

You can watch the video here. Scroll towards the end for the boxes.
