Nature’s Symphony Fun Fold Card Using Nature Walk Designer Paper

 Hi Friends!

One of the highlights of my January Catalogue Launch Party was this beautiful Make ’n Take fun fold card, and I’m so happy to share it with you here on the blog.

This project is all about combining texture, soft colour, and an easy fun fold layout that looks impressive but is very approachable to create. It’s the kind of card that feels special the moment it’s opened, making it perfect for sending encouragement, happy mail, or a thoughtful note just because.

For this design, I used the Nature’s Symphony dies along with the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper, and they truly shine together. The layered leaf die cuts add elegant dimension and movement, while the designer paper brings in calm, nature-inspired patterns that work beautifully for a wide variety of occasions.

This fun fold layout is especially satisfying to make because it allows the designer paper to take centre stage without overwhelming the card. The balance of texture, layers, and white space gives the finished project a polished look while still keeping the construction simple and enjoyable.

This card was featured as the Make ’n Take project during my Catalogue Launch Party, and it was a big hit. It’s a wonderful example of how versatile the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper can be and how easily the Nature’s Symphony dies can elevate a design with just a few well-placed elements.

Below, I’ll be adding the full measurements along with a complete step-by-step tutorial so you can recreate this card at home or adapt the layout using your own favourite stamps and papers. It’s a great fold to keep in your back pocket because it works equally well for cards, class projects, and even swaps.

If you decide to give this fun fold a try, I’d love to see what you create. This is one of those layouts that really comes to life when you put your own spin on it.
