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.

• Golden Honey Birthday Candles! So cute!

  March 18, 2020

  ---

  I saw a card like this online and HAD to make one! I believe the original designer is Libby Fens. Look at this colorful, clever card!

  
  
  
  
  
  

  I wish I'd come up with the idea myself but I cased it.  Sometimes I feel a bit guilty casing from others. But when people case me I take it as a huge compliment. So I get over my guilt pretty quickly! 😉

  The candles are made from the Golden Honey specialty designer paper that was available as part of our Sale-a-Bration offering.  It is now sold out but I know many of you own it already so I thought I'd share the card for you.  Or maybe you own some similar patterned paper you could use instead.

  The candles are about 3/8" wide and 3" tall.  The paper is originally white with gold diagonal dashes.  I colored them in with Blends markers in light and dark of each color.  The colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Highland Heather.  

  For the flames I punched out a daisy from the Medium Daisy punch in Gold Glimmer paper.  I cut off the petals and adhered them under the top of each candle.  Then I popped up each candle with mini dimensionals.  

  Other Details

  • The Let's Celebrate You greeting is from Bonanza Buddies set on page 34 of the 2020 January-June mini catalog. 
  • The stitched rectangle is from the Stitched so Sweetly dies
  • Granny Apple Green

  Here's a view of the Stitched So Sweetly bundle; it includes a fabulous stamp set and amazing dies.  If you buy it this month you'll earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  See it here.

• Rise & Shine; a cute reversible stamp set!

  March 16, 2020

  We played with the Rise & Shine stamp set this weekend at Becky's workshop.  I love these colors together!

  
  
  
  
  
  

  It's Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink and Smoky Slate.  We used the Detailed Trio punch to round the corners on opposite sides of our layers here. 

  The checked patterned paper is from the Pleased as Punch pkg seen here.  It's available just through March.

  
  
  
  
  
  

  This Sale-a-Bration stamp set is free with any $100 order during March. Click on the image above to see it online. It coordinates with the Cup of Cheer dies that were in the Holiday catalog but are still available.  Click on the image to see it online.
