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.

• Use both sides of your DSP on this neat ‘back fold’ card; so easy!

  January 3, 2025

  ---

  I joined a few online swaps in December so I could get lots of samples for my New Catalog Launch on January 18th. I love to showcase lots of products from the new catalogs each time. 

  This is one I made featuring the Friends of the Ocean DSP: 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  My colors include Coastal Cabana and Pumpkin Pie.  You cannot tell from the photo above that it's a fun fold card but it is. And it's so easy! 

  The Friends of the Ocean DSP is so colorful and fun; here's a peek it. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  The layered greeting is attached to the right sided edge and it holds the left side closed. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  How? There's an extra score line 1" from the edge.  The card base is 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 1" and 4 1/4". 

  I used the new With You in Mind stamp set for this card.  I love it because the greetings are nice & large and it's my friend Julie Davison's million $ stamp set!  The greeting fits onto the new To the Point punch well and that layers on our 2 3/8" circle punch perfectly.

  **All of these products are coming out in the Spring Catalog on Tuesday, January 7th.

• Happy New Year! Check out my January Specials

  January 2, 2025

  ---

  I hope you enjoyed your New Year's.  If you didn't celebrate hopefully you had some relaxing time in.  That's what we did. Plus organized a few cabinets.  It always seems like a great time to go through our stuff and toss or donate some things we don't need. 

  Today I'm sharing a few of the specials I'm offering to my customers in January. 

  First is a big stack of free card kits.  I put together some printed card bases and envelopes plus Memories & More cards. These will be wonderful for easy card assembly. Or jazz them up with more layers, embellishments & other items if you wish. They're a great starting point to your creative processes. 

  
  
  
  
  
  

  If your online order is over $55 in January I'll ship one directly to you. 

  ~~~

  In addition, every online order will also receive a free PDF tutorial featuring the new 'Friends of the Ocean' suite. This tutorial includes fun folds and unique layouts for not only this designer paper but you can easily substitute any you already own! It will be emailed to you within a few days after an online order from my store here.   

  
  
  
  
  
  

  Remember that Sale-a-Bration starts on January 7th where for every $60 you spend you get to choose a free item from the SAB catalog!  I'll share the link on Tuesday, January 7th. 

  The catalogs have been mailed out and are starting to arrive to my customers.
