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.

Gorgeous Abundant Beauty Kraft notecards with gift box

November 1, 2023

I was inspired by this set of cards & box by a project shared online. I changed up the colors to 'my' favorites and created this:

I absolutely LOVE the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks seen here! The sunflowers are my favorite of course, but I also used the houndstooth mask here as well. Unfortunately these masks are out of stock right now. They'll be back around November 13th.

You might think I made this box but I sure didn't! It's found on page 135 of our Annual Catalog. It includes 20 cards & 20 envelopes and one box for gifting cards in; all in Kraft paper. The cards are notecard side which is 5" X 3 1/2". See it here online.

As you can see in the photo below I used the houndstooth mask to add a soft background to each notecard. I used a blending brush and Copper Clay ink.

The sunflowers are made with Pretty Peacock ink and the leaves are Granny Apple Green on White cardstock. Yes; they are all fussy cut! I did some but my friend Pat did the rest for me; she loves to fussy cut things!

The greetings are from the So Sincere stamp set from the 2023 Holiday catalog. It's my favorite greeting set right now. See it here.

You can see in the photo below that I added the houndstooth pattern to the entire box, inside & out. Because it comes flat it's easy to do.

I hope you're inspired by this project. I'm not sure who will receive it yet, but it will be someone special!

I shared these neat cards on last week's video. This layout truly shows off both sides of your double-sided designer paper!

- Greeting is from Throughout the Year set (2023 Holiday catalog)

Here's the inside view. I chose the Pick of the Patch stamp set here. I love the look of the designer paper in the inside of the card!

*Download or print the free project sheet here: Download Designer Paper card base; shows both sides!

Here is the other card I shared:

This card shows off the Magical Meadow bundle in the greeting and pretty die-cuts.

Details:
- Winter Meadow designer paper seen here – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 1" and 6 1/2"
- Mossy Meadow, Basic White & Misty Moonlight card stock plus Adhesive-backed silver glimmer paper for the pretty foliage die-cut
Here's the inside view; stamped with the Magical Meadow stamp set.

The Magical Meadow bundle has been one of my favorites this season. I seem to reach for it often. See it here.

Here is the video for these neat cards. You'll also find another fun fold card and a quick treat bag too!

Easy Treat Bag with video & free project sheet!

October 30, 2023

If you ever need a fast & easy way to gift treats or a small gift I recommend this quick treat bag. I shared how to make it in a recent video and you can scroll down to get the free project sheet.

It's made from a piece of designer paper that's 8 1/2" wide X 6" tall. The bag is 4 3/4" tall and about 4" wide at the top. A nice size!

The 'Boo' bag is made from the Them Bones designer paper and the tag is also from the paper. It's part of a full sheet of individual panels you can use for cards etc.

I made the Boo bag before the video and the Christmas bag during the video. See this video here.

Below is a photo of it open. I added about 6 small candy bars inside and there was room for more yet! The layered greeting tag holds the bag closed with a mini clip.

*Download the free project sheet with template here: Download Easy Treat bag with template

Below is the template but it will help quite a bit to watch the video tutorial here.

The treat bag below is made from the O Holy Night designer paper and the Stars at Night bundle.  This pretty paper has the beautiful nighttime scene printed on it!

I punched two holes in the top of the bag to thread the Silver & White ribbon through for a tied bow. This ribbon is a new favorite; it's sparkly and thin so it's easy to work with. Unfortunately it's out of stock until mid November.

Click here to watch the video you can watch to see this and two fun fold cards as well.
