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.

Check out these awesome Sale-a-Bration swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team!

February 2, 2024
Today I'm sharing the other half of our fabulous January Team swaps by my Flowerbug's Team.

First up is a super neat card made by Candace featuring the Jungle Pals stamp set & dies:

There are tons of details & die-cuts on her card! The Jungle Pals set & dies are both available through February 29th or while supplies last – they're free with a qualifying Stampin' Up! order. See them both here.
- The colors include Calypso Coral, Pebbled Path, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Shaded Spruce.
- The tree, leaves and toucan are all from the Jungle Pals dies.
- Her greeting is made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch and a 1" strip of White card stock. The greeting image is from the Heartfelt Hello's set – also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.
Inside view:

I love it when the inside is stamped to match the front!

~~~

Next is an adorable card made by Marla featuring the Sunny Days designer series paper seen here.

I asked her where she found her cute basket shape and she cased it from an old valentine card she received from her grandmother years ago. Isn't that cool?!!

The greeting is from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set seen here. She fussy cut the strawberries from the Sunny Days designer paper. I just love this card!!

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Karen G who featured the Flight & Airy designer paper seen here. It's free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through February 29th, or while supplies last.

She cased the layout from Tracey Bradley I believe. Such a pretty and simple way to make this pretty designer paper the star!

The greeting and textured background are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle is fussy cut.

The Flight & Airy designer series paper has been one of the most popular choices so far; I wonder how long it will last!

~~~

Lastly today is a card made by Karen A who also featured the Flight & Airy designer paper.

She simply cut a selection of the birds with the Deckled Circle dies and made it the focus by keeping the rest of her card white. The White layers are textured with the beautiful Layered Florals embossing folder seen here.

It's a simple fun fold too!

I hope you are inspired by these beautiful projects made by my Flowerbug's Team.

We held our monthly team swap last week and I am proud to show off their talent with you.

First is a pretty card made by Jane who featured the Softly Stippled designer paper seen here.

She also used the Deckled Circle dies, Something Fancy & Gorgeously Made dies, along with the Something Fancy stamp set for her greeting. Love the colors of Wild Wheat with Lost Lagoon together!

There are many possible color combos in this pretty designer paper. Most people pass by it in the catalog or online but in person the pretty colors and soft prints sell it!

This Softly Stippled DSP is one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Earn it free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase. See it online here.

Next is a fun fold card made by Paula who also chose the Softly Stippled designer paper.

Her fun fold is a 'Joy fold' turned on it's side. Very cool. It's filled with textures and two coordinating colors of Wild Wheat & Calypso Coral which are the colors in the pretty designer paper. Her greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated bundle and the Double Oval punch is used too.

Measurements:
- Wild Wheat – card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", middle layer is 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- Calypso Coral is 4" X 8 1/2" scored at 5 1/4"
- White textured layer is 3"X 3 3/4" (done with Basics 3D embossing folder) & inside is 2 3/4" X 4"
~~~

Next is a beautiful monochromatic card made by Candy who chose to use the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here. It includes both a stamp set & the pretty embossing folder used here.

Her colors are Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie. That main scenic image is from the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here. It's a distinktive set which means it provides multiple hues of color when stamped with one ink.

Measurements:
- Pecan Pie card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
- Vanilla 5 1/4" X 4", center is 3" square, scrap for greeting die-cut (Perennial Postage dies)

Shabby Chic Lovely & Sweet card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

January 31, 2024
Here's the last card made in last week's video featuring the Nature's Sweetness suite. I absolutely love this color palette!

It's Pecan Pie with Pebbled Path & Gold accents with a rich monotone look. Look closely at the layout. It's basically a few random layers with only one that's layered. Adding a few smaller elements creates the balance here.

Details & tips:
- Note the distressed edges on a few of the layers. That is done by rubbing your open scissor blade over the edge of the paper. Fast and fabulous results! *watch how I do it in the video below.
- The large stamped Pecan Pie layer and the DSP square are both sponged with Pecan Pie ink to age them a bit.
- That butterfly is one of our Paper Butterfly Accents colored with a Light Natural Tones blends marker. I added some Gold Enamel Effects in streaks all over it. *see how in the video
- I added Gold Enamel Effects as berries on the tall leaf die-cut on the left.
Here's how I stamped the inside. The greeting is from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set from Sale-a-Bration.

Here's a picture of the Lovely & Sweet bundle I used here. See it online here.
