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.

• All Dressed Up dies make the cutest purse!

  May 14, 2020

  ---

  Look at these adorable purses made with the All Dressed Up dies! 

  

  The purse above is made with the Best Dressed designer series paper, Lovely Lipstick card stock and ribbon and one of the special tassels in the suite. You can see everything here.

  These purses can be filled with candy, treats or even 3 X 3" cards. Decorate and finish them as you like; what a special gift! 

  

  The one below was included in my April cards kit to go and my Spring Retreat!  The purse pieces are textured with the Hammered Metal embossing folder seen here.  It has silver buckles and a button on the cute pocket in the front. 

  

  Here's a photo of the cards that are inside the purse above. They are the Best Dressed 3 X 3" note cards and envelopes seen here.  They come in a pack of 24 and are on sale for just $4 right now!  That's half off!  They're perfect little add on's for gift cards.

• Dressed to Impress meets Ornate Frames for a gorgeous hand made box!

  May 13, 2020

  ---

  These are the boxes I included in my Spring Retreat last month.  I think they're gorgeous and was so happy with how they turned out!

  

  They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again!  See them here. 

  Here's a picture of the assembly process: 

  

  Here are the box dimensions:

  • Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
  • Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.  

  Tips:

  • Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.  
  • Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers. 
  • Fill with chocolate!

• Introducing the new 2020-22 In Colors!

  May 12, 2020

  ---

  They're in my hands!  The new In Colors that is.  Look at these gorgeous new colors we'll all get to play with soon!

  

  I added a few of our current colors of card stock with each new color so you can compare them.  The Misty Moonlight is like soft, worn denim. 

  

  This one seems like a color we've never had before!  It's a honey brown or rich, caramel color. 

  

  The Magenta Madness is a pretty bright pink.  If you've been around long enough it reminds me of the Pink Passion we used to have years ago.

  

  The Bumblebee is a golden version of Crushed Curry but a bit brighter. 

  

  Just Jade is a pretty green and also seems different from anything I remember us having before.  It's lovely! 

  Here's a sneak peak of 5 cards I made with LOTS of brand new products!  Everything is new but the White card stock. 

  

  How many new products can you spy here?  

  

  We are going to absolutely LOVE these new colors!  I cannot wait to play and create new, favorite combinations with our current line of colors.   

  Special offer! Each year at my Open House event in early June I offer my local gals a fabulous bundle of our new In Color products . This year I'll be offering it online to everyone (in the USA)!   It's usually consists of the In Color ink pads, ink refills, assorted In Color card stock, In Color designer paper and embellishments (or ribbon).  Then with that purchase they get the set of In color markers free!   It's a great way to have it all and not worry about needing ink refills or markers later.  

  However Stampin' Up! is already running low on a few of these items so I may have to change it up this year.  I'll know more the last week of May, which is when I'll open it up to everyone.  The Covid-19 crisis is sure causing havoc with shipping and inventory; not just with SU but globally.  But we make do with what we have right?  And that will include a ton of new and excited products!
