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.

• Window cards!

  July 7, 2020

  ---

  A few weeks ago on my weekly 'Stamp with Me' Live we made window cards.  I called them that because I punched or die-cut a window in the front to reveal the greeting below.  Here's one version:

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I chose to use the pretty Flowers for Every Season designer paper for this card. There is such a wide variety of patterns, colors and styles in this pretty paper!  For the card above I used the Tasteful Labels, the Medium Daisy punch and the Lovely You stamp set.

  Here are all three cards I made to get them started.  I post the cards, measurements and supplies list a few days before the 'Live' so they can prep and gather their supplies.  Or if they cannot stamp with me Live, they can just make the cards using my ideas.  Check it out here. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  For the card below I used the Forever Fern stamp set in Cinnamon Cider, Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake.  

  I punched a 2" circle from the White layer and added a die-cut from the Tasteful Labels dies.

• Third card from the Boho Indigo Product Medley

  July 6, 2020

  ---

  This is the last card in the trio we made with the Boho Indigo Product Medley.  

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Almost everything is from the Product Medley except the punched flowers (Confetti Flowers Border punch) and Stitched Nested Labels. 

  The vase is stamped in Misty Moonlight and die-cut with the Boho dies in the Medley. The leaves are stamped in Pear Pizzazz. 

  The little flowers are punched from a piece of Designer Paper in the medley and the centers are added with a Chalk Marker. They're curled up a bit with a stylus.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Measurements:

  • Misty Moonlight card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Designer Paper 2" X 4 1/4"
  • Pear Pizzazz strip 1/2" X 4 1/4"
  • White & Navy CS for Stitched Nested Labels

  Here are all of the cards we made with the pretty Boho Indigo Product Medley. You can see them all by paging through my blog posts the last few days. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The Boho Indigo Product Medley comes with a whole bunch of products all in one box including stamps, dies, beautiful designer paper in 6 X 6" size, textured card stock, die-cuts, ribbon and paper/bead flowers.  The colors are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Vanilla, White, Garden Green & gold. 

  If you purchase this Medley in July you'll earn a $5 coupon code to redeem in August. Yay for Bonus Days!!

  There's even a refill option (without the stamps, dies & ribbon).  It is on back order until mid July but still orderable.  It includes the papers and the flowers.  See that here.
