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.

Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free project sheet & video

October 20, 2023
I featured the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle on a recent Live video. Here's one of them:

It's a fun fold card that also has a gift card holder inside. You can see the Heartfelt Hexagon bundle here in our online store. It's a cute punch bundle with a nice variety of greetings & more.

Products used:
- Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper
- Merry Melody embossing folder
- Deckled Rectangle dies
Below is a photo of the inside. It might be hard to see the gift card pocket on the inside left. Scroll down to the other photo of the inside. Isn't this greeting wonderful? It's my favorite one in the set:

I made a second version on my video; but reversed the colors. I used Pool Party & Real Red. Which do you prefer? Watch the video here.

You can see how the gift card is slipped into the inside left pocket, formed when you fold back the card stock on the left edge.

Measurements are included in the free project sheet seen above.

Below is the video on this card and two others. I'll share the project sheets for the other cards soon.

Unique Christmas card swaps; they’re not your average cards!

October 19, 2023
Today I'm sharing the last of our October Flowerbug's Team Christmas card swaps. These two cards are not your average Christmas cards!

First is a pretty card made by Marla. She put together a unique color combination of Pretty Peacock with Moody Mauve and it works!

She chose two stamp sets for her card; Ringed with Nature and Vertical Blooms. Both are from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog. The designer paper is the Earthen Elegance, also from the Annual catalog.

Measurements:
- Moody Mauve card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
- Moody Mauve inside 6 1/2" X 3 1/4" score at 3 1/4" and 5 3/8"
- DSP layers 2 pieces at 1 7/8" X 5 1/4", and inside back is 4" x 5 1/4"
- White layers 3" square, 1 7/8" X 3" and 7/8" X 3"

Sharon made this super cute reindeer card featuring the Sending Cheer dies seen here.

Can you tell that the reindeer are upside down gingerbread men? Rudolf is a complete die-cut but the Mrs is half. She added so much detail on them too!
- The 'hello' die cut is from the Rustic Crate dies
- The antlers are from Autumn Leaves dies.
- Ears are from the monkey punch.
She used the Joy of Christmas designer paper on the front, cutting it in half with the Border Basics dies. A great idea!

The greetings are from the Horse & Sleigh stamp set (online exclusive).

Below you can see all of the Flowerbug's October swap cards. Details on each if you go back each day this week.

WOW fun fold swap cards with the Beary Cute bundle!

October 18, 2023
Look at these three fabulous swaps that all feature the Beary Cute bundle. All so different which shows how versatile this bundle can be.

First is an amazing fun fold card made by Candace.

She stamped her neat background using stamps from Artistically Inked. I know it doesn't look like a fun fold; but look what you see once you open it up!

So fun! And not that difficult either. I created a similar card on this week's Live video. I'll share it and a free project sheet next week.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 3", 4 1/4", 5 1/2"
- front white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4", inside white 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
- Pretty Peacock front 2 7/8" X 5 3/8"
- White inside greeting layers 2 3/4" X 1 1/2"
- Smoky Slate greeting layers 2 7/8" X 1 3/4"
She used Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Lost Lagoon for her inks. All stamps are from the Beary Cute stamp set.

Next is a fun & bright card made by Tracey:

She chose to feature the Merry, Bold & Bright designer paper here, focusing on the blues and green patterns. She broke up the busy tree paper with a striped piece under the greeting and bow. Neat!

Here's the inside view. The greetings are from the Christmas Classics set.

Next up is a neat book-binding card made by Candy.

She used the Beary Christmas designer paper and stamps from the Beary Cute bundle.

Products used:
- Beary Cute bundle
- Night of Navy, White, Crumb Cake and Balmy Blue card stock
- Inks – Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Misty Moonlight (scarf) and Mossy Meadow
- Deckled circles dies, Navy & Gold glittered ribbon, Snowflake Sky 3D embossing folder.
Measurements:
- Night of Navy card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
- Balmy blue and White inside 4" square
- DSP strip 1 1/8" X 4"
Unfortunately the Bear punch is unavailable right now; it will be back the first week in November though. See this bundle here.
