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

December 23, 2025

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.

LOTS of beautiful Flowering Zinnias card swaps by my Team!

March 15, 2024
I'm continuing to share our March card swaps made by my Flowerbug's. Our theme was Online Exclusives and many of us chose the Flowering Zinnias and the Simply Zinnia bundle for our cards.

*Currently the Flowering Zinnias Suite and bundle are unavailable. The Simply Zinnias stamp set is out of stock and expected back in around March 25th. The Shiny Sequins are also out of stock but expected back in April.

~~~

First is a pretty card made by Karen G.

She showed off the beautiful Flowering Zinnias designer paper AND the Berry Burst & Old Olive glimmer paper seen here. It also includes a sheet of White in the pack. This designer paper pack includes two sheets of paper perfect for an easy card front.

The greeting is from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. Her colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White.

Next is a fun fold card made by Karen A.

She tore the Flowering Zinnias designer paper into strips and added to her card front. What a great layering technique! She used Black, Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist here. It's actually a special fun fold that twists!

This is one of those cards you have to see in person or on a video; it's very cool!

Measurements:
- Black card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2". Then make a mark on one side at 4 1/4" and score diagonally to that line. You'll fold the card on that diagonal back to the top and add the Green layer to it.
- Lemon Lime Twist 4" square
- Petal Pink 3 3/4" & 1" X 4"
- DSP strips measure 3 1/2" across. The vertical strip on the side is 3/4" X 3 3/4"
Next is a neat card made by Rita.

She used the Flowering Zinnias designer paper and a window sheet layer to create a peek-a-boo card. The sentiment is from Forever Fern (now retired) stamped on a Hexagon punched piece. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer paper.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" score at 5 1/2"
- DSP – 4 pieces at 4 1/4" X 2"
I love seeing what my gals make! Many times I'm reminded of neat card folds, layouts or techniques.

Next is a pretty card made by Ginny who focused on the Simply Zinnias stamp set.

She used Blends markers to color the pretty zinnia image. Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie are her cardstock & Blends colors. She popped up the top two layers on Dimensionals; what a difference this makes!

I'll share more team swaps next week!

Beautiful Online Exclusive card swaps

March 14, 2024

We held our monthly Team Gathering and our swap theme was to feature Online Exclusive products. Honestly our current line of OE products is amazing. Did you know there are over 90 items? Be sure to check them out here.

Joan made this first one with the In My Heart stamp set seen here.

Her coloring is amazing! I believe she used Blends markers for the scene. She used two sizes of the Deckled Circles and her background is made with the Foursquare decorative masks seen here. She used a Blending Brush with Orchid Oasis ink to create that gorgeous, striking background. Her colors are Orchid Oasis & Sweet Sorbet – both of these In Colors are retiring in early April!

Here's how she finished the inside:

Next is a stunning card made by Tracey. She chose the Courage & Faith stamp set in the Annual catalog; see it here.

I just love how this layout shows off the pretty Meandering Meadows designer paper!

Measurements: Each of the designer paper pieces are 2 1/2" X 1 1/4". This allows you to make two cards with each 6 X 6" piece of DSP. The greeting is stamped on a the Scalloped Contours diecut seen here.

Next is a wonderful card perfect for either guys or gals. It features the Trucking Along bundle seen here.

I love the stamped and textured background! She also used the Deckled Circles (in low inventory) and the Basics 3D embossing folders – both can be seen in our Online Exclusive line here.   The greeting die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies

Stay tuned for more swaps tomorrow!
