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.

• Beautiful Autumn cards; swaps by the Flowerbugs!

  August 21, 2020

  Today I'm sharing two more swaps from my Flowerbug's Fall card swap.  My Team members are so talented and I absolutely love seeing their creativity!  

  Both of these are made with the Beautiful Autumn bundle in the 2020 Holiday Catalog by Stampin' Up!.  

  First is the card Tracey made.  She added sooo many details and layers to her card; it's incredible! 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Details:

  • Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Blackberry Bliss card stock
  • The pretty borders are from the Ornate Border dies seen here
  • The texture is done with the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing folder
  • The punched leaves are from the Autumn Punch pack cut from the Regals DSP pack and some dies are from the Forever Flourishing dies

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Mary's card is almost the opposite of Tracey's; clean and simple where the Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper is the star of the Mint Macaron card.  Her greeting is also from the Beautiful Autumn set as well as the stamped & punched leaves.  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for the DSP and the greeting. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The Gilded Autumn paper has Copper and Gold foil on some designs. Some designs can be cut out using the Autumn Punch pack punches.

• More amazing Team Fall swap cards!

  August 20, 2020

  Here are three more beautiful cards my Flowerbug's Team made for our August card swap: 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Jacki made this super colorful card using the Plaid Tidings and 6" designer series papers.  She cut 1" strips and arranged them using the diagonal technique I shared here: 

  Her greeting is from the Beautiful Autumn stamp set seen here and the tag is from the Celebration Label dies here. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Deloris created this pretty card with the Arrange a Wreath Bundle seen here.  It's full of die-cuts and stamps for multiple reasons & seasons!  Her colors are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze & Mint Macaron.  I really love that greeting sign!  It's actually an image in the set!

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Karen created this one with the Love of Leaves bundle seen here. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Her colors are Early Espresso, Vanilla, Soft Suede, Cinnamon Cider, Crushed Curry and Gold foil. The designer paper strip is from the Gilded Autumn DSP.  I absolutely love the stitching on these dies and that die-cut that creates the stitched lines for texture is the bomb!

  I'm loving the new Banners Pick a Punch!  It has grooves for 1/2", 3/4" and 1" banners.  And two different style ends!  Sure makes adding banners a breeze!
