Pretty Bridge fold card with Snowflake Kisses with free project sheet & video tutorial

I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It features the Elegant Pine Snowflake designer paper and the Snowflake Kisses bundle.

My colors include Pretty Peacock, White & Lost Lagoon above. The Elegant Pine Snowflake designer paper is beautiful and can be seen here.

I created a second card with Secret Sea as the card base instead of Pretty Peacock. Which do you prefer?

This card is a bridge fun fold layout. It starts out with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base but requires two extra cuts from the center score line down 1 1/8″ from each edge. It’s easy with our Paper Trimmer. Watch the video below to see how it’s done.

I created a free project sheet for you with photos and measurements. Click here to print or download it.

I hope you try one. If you haven’t made one before please watch the video below. They are quite fun to make & open!

The photo below shows the card closed, the main panel lifted and the inside! Tip: We used a handmade stencil to sponge snowflakes on the inside. *cut snowflakes from a piece of card stock and sponge or blend ink through the windows.

Below is the video tutorial which includes a second card with this bundle. I hope you watch it! Don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

• Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!

  December 24, 2020

  ---

  Are you a last minute wrapper?  I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live.  Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score. 

  
  

  Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock.   Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special.  I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated. 

  I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes.  Now consider how much DSP you have stored up!  Use it; you can do it!

  
  

  And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

  

  I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers.  Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy. 

  
  

  You can watch the video here.   Scroll towards the end for the boxes.

• Quite Curvy & Classic Christmas Strips

  December 23, 2020

  ---

  I totally enjoy making these strip cards!  It seems like I always have little strips of paper left over from a project. Most times I can toss them without a thought but now & then I have trouble doing that. This technique puts them to great use! 

  

  You can catch my tips on this technique in the video below. 

  I used the Classic Christmas designer paper on this card.  It's available now through January 4th or while supplies last.  The colors are Shaded Spruce, Sahara Sand & Cherry Cobbler.  See it here. 

  I also used the Quite Curvy stamp set and dies.  They are available now and will be in the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog.  See them here now.

  We made this pretty card at my December Card Clubs.  It features the Snowflake Wishes bundle and the Snowflake Splendor designer paper. 

  

  The colors were inspired by the beautiful Snowflake Splendor designer paper. It's Balmy Blue, White & Highland Heather.  

  

  This gorgeous designer paper is retiring in a few weeks and it's on sale now while supplies last!  See it here. 

  The Snowflake Wishes bundle is also retiring (as a bundle). It's returning separately in the upcoming Annual Catalog in May but it will not be 10% off then. See it here.

  

  The measurements can be found below.  It's a standard A2 card. Here's a copy of the project sheet for this card. 

  

  Measurements: 

  • Balmy Blue – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4", plus 4" X 11" scored at 2" and 3 3/4" from both ends
