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.

Double Easel fun fold card with video & free project sheet

March 24, 2025
I shared this neat fun fold on last week's Live video. I record them on Facebook Live then upload to YouTube so you can view them either place.
Save

My color combination is Summer Splash with Black & White. The new Botanical Textures DSP inspired this fun fold card.

I love how the three butterflies die-cut is placed on 3 Black circles; they would have been lost if placed directly on the DSP.

We made this project at last week's Team gathering. They loved it!

Last of the Clean & Simple Team swaps!

March 21, 2025

Today I'm sharing the last of the March Team swaps with the Clean & Simple theme. No designer paper!

Lori created with pretty card with the Linked Together bundle seen here.

Save

This bundle has stamps, dies and masks which is how she created her background. All using Bubble Bath ink!

Save

I love her soft background and the die accents she added by the greeting. Just gorgeous!

Save

Next is a pretty card made by Tracey. She chose to use the You are Remarkable stamp set seen here.

Save

She also stamped a soft background behind the flower using the Elements of Text set. Her color include Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake with a bit of green on the leaves.

I love how she stamped the inside; that bee is adorable.

Save

And lastly is this beautiful all White card made by Jonna.

Save

White on White is hard to photograph; I wish you could see how elegant it is in person!

She used the Seaside Wishes bundle along with a bunch of score lines on the left side. This little touch anchors the seashells wonderfully!

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my talented team swaps this month!

More amazing Clean & Simple swap cards by the Flowerbug’s

March 20, 2025

I shared 4 of our Team swaps yesterday and today I'm sharing more. They're all incredible!

Our theme was to create cards that are 'Clean & Simple' without any designer paper. This is NOT easy for some advanced stampers!

First up is Karen's card which is just her style:

Save

She used the Mini corrugated 3D embossing folder seen here and linen thread. Plus the Painted Lavender & Friends for Life die-cuts on her Basic Beige & White card.

Next is a stunning card made by Paula. She used the new Thankful Garden bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake. She heat embossed the floral image in Gold embossing powder. The background is made with the Thankful Garden stencils included in the bundle.

Save

Just gorgeous Paula!!

And look at the incredible card Jacki made!

Save

She used the Friends for Life dies and the Waves 3D embossing folder. Simply White with a pop of Black for an elegant look.

Next is Joan's monochromatic card featuring the Coffee with Friends stamp set:

Save

She used Pecan Pie and colored the images in with watercolor pencils. Beautifully done!

I'll share the last of our swaps tomorrow!
