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.

A gorgeous Handcrafted Ornaments card with video & free project sheet!

November 10, 2023

Look at this beautiful card made with the Handcrafted Elements dies!

These dies are seen in our 2023 Holiday catalog or online here. There are two dies in the set that create that pretty, layered ornament.

I chose to use Starry Sky & Orchid Oasis along with the Brushed Gold cards. For the stamped bough image under the banner, I used Wild Wheat ink, stamped off once. It's surprisingly close to gold!

This card is one we made at my October Card Clubs; they could choose their favorite greeting and also the color of bow on the ornament.

I used the Distressed Tile 3d embossing folder seen here.

Yesterday I shared a pretty card featuring two of the same products seen in this card. Click here to see it. The Christmas Classics stamp set and the Brushed Gold cards & envelopes.

Look at the stunning golden shine on this card!

I shared a second card made with the other half of the Brushed Gold card base in the video here. I hope you watch it! I will share the details on that card tomorrow.

Christmas Classic with the pretty Brushed Gold cards & envelopes; with video & free project sheet

November 9, 2023

I shared how to make this pretty card on last week's Live video:

It features two of my favorite products from the 2023 Holiday catalog; the Christmas Classics bundle and the beautiful Brushed Gold cards & envelopes.

I cut the card base in half so I could get two card fronts from it. I paired the gold accents with Shaded Spruce and the beautiful, detailed die-cut from the Christmas Classics dies. See the bundle here. I think it's absolutely gorgeous. It's rare that I like the dies as well as the stamps!

I shared a second card made with the other half of the Brushed Gold card base in the video here. I hope you watch it! I will share the details on that card tomorrow.
