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.

Today is the last day of the free shipping promotion; don't miss out on the savings!

Today I'm sharing two incredible fun fold swaps from our Team card swap this month. The theme was to feature plaid.

Candace created her own plaid using markers on the upper left panel. Wow! He also used the Thankful Garden bundle for her flowers and leaves. This bundle includes dies and masks! See it here.

I love the sponging she did on her die-cut leaves. Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather. The inside die is from the Arches dies – currently unavailable unfortunately.

Next is an adorable fun fold made by Lori.

Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card.

She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.

And it opens yet one more time! I love how she added details to every layer on each side. Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.

Measurements:
- card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2"
- White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- DSP – front panel is 4" X 5 1/4", checkered flap is 4 3/4" X 1 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Look at these wonderful Plaid Themed card swaps

April 24, 2025

I'm excited to share these fabulous swap cards by my Flowerbug's Team today. Our theme was to use plaid in some way on our cards.

Jacki made this unique card with the Timeless Plaid DSP.

She cut three pieces of Timeless Plaid DSP using the Stylish Shapes dies. Then cut them into even pieces and added her sentiment between them. I love the simple addition of the twine on the upper left. She used the new Secret Sea with Very Vanilla. The greeting is from the With You in Mind stamp set.

Paula made this gorgeous card also using the Timeless Plaid DSP.

She also used the Mini Corrugated 3D embossing folder and the Textured Notes dies and the Wishing You bundle. I love her color combo; it really shows off the pretty colors in the DSP. Look at the ribbon threaded through the die-cut edges! Her colors include Early Espresso & Pecan Pie.

Candy made this gorgeous card using the Twisted in Time stamp set.

She also used the Textured Notes dies and the Plaid embossing folder. Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Basic Beige and Early Espresso.

More swaps coming tomorrow!

Do NOT forget about the free shipping promotion through Friday!
