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

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.

• Three pretty cards made with the Autumn Leaves bundle

  September 23, 2023

  ---

  I have three fall themed cards to share with you – swaps my Flowerbug's Team made.

  First is one made by Karen G.  She featured the Autumn Leaves bundle.

  

  It's a fun fold card where the main panel is adhered to the upper, front flap.  The designer paper is the All About Autumn (sadly unavailable – back early October), the embossing folder is Leaf Fall (online exclusive seen here) and the greeting die-cut is from the Timeless Arrangements bundle. 

  Colors are Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze and White. 

  Measurements:

  • Crushed Curry card base 5 1/2" X 6 1/4" score at 4 1/4", top layer is 4 1/4" X 2 3/4"
  • Cajun Craze – front layer 4" X 2 1/2", upper flap layer 5 1/4" X 1 3/4"
  • Designer paper 5" X 1 1/2" 

  The Autumn Leaves bundle can be seen here. 

  

  Next is a pretty card made by Mary who also used the Autumn Leaves bundle. 

  

  She cased this pretty card from Chelsea Christenson.  The designer papers are from both Let's Go Fishing and Earthen Elegance. Her colors include Cajun Craze, Vanilla and Mossy Meadow.  She fussy cut the greeting.

  Measurements:

  • Vanilla card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", 4" X 5 1/4" layer and another textured layer 3" X 4" 
  • Designer Paper – 2 pieces at 3/4" X 5" and the center piece is 1 3/8" X 5"
  • Cajun Craze strip 1/2" X 3 1/2" 

  Lastly is a gorgeous card made by Paula – it's a super neat fun fold card!

  

  I plan to make a card like this soon on one of my videos; it really is fantastic. But I feel you may need a video to achieve this. 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2" mark at 2" on one short end and score to each outside score line. Then score again at 3 1/2" from the bottom (Look for an upcoming video from me on this fold!) 
  • Designer paper 4" X 5 1/4" cut into three triangles – mark bottom center at 2" and cut up to upper corners on both sides
  • Vanilla inside 4" X 5 1/4"

• Beautiful Fall swap card projects

  September 22, 2023

  ---

  I shared quite a few of my Team swap cards yesterday and today are three more beauties!

  But first, did you know the Clearance Rack was updated this week with LOTS more fabulous deals?!

  Shop the updated Clearance Rack here:

  

  First up is a beautiful card made by Jacki featuring the Sending Smiles set seen here and the Sending dies seen here

  

  I always love to see out of the box colors for the Autumn season. She used Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow and Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry.  The background designer paper is the Inked Botanicals from the Annual catalog.  

  What a gorgeous bouquet of flowers she created.  

  Next is Marla's card – she also used the Inked Botanicals designer paper.  She also used the Cottage Wreaths stamp set seen here on her main layer.  

  The colors include Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon and Calypso Coral – all featured in her designer paper.

  Measurements: 

  • Vanilla card base 7 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", 2 3/4" X 3 3/4" for stamped front panel 
  • Crushed Curry 3" X 5 1/4" plus 3" X 4" for front panel layer & 1" X 5 1/4" inside
  • Designer paper 2 3/4" X 5"

  Ginny made this last card using the Natural Prints set and Nature's Prints dies seen on page 24 of the annual catalog.  

  

  She cased this card from Mitusu Crafts; she inked her clear blocks directly in our classic inks and stamped directly onto her card stock.  She heat embossed the 'splotches' using Copper embossing powder.  

  There are so many awesome details here – the colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock and Pebbled Path.  I love the greeting shape – cut by hand I believe.

• Amazing Bag of Bones Halloween & Pick of the Patch swap cards

  September 21, 2023

  ---

  We held our monthly Team swap last weekend and I'm excite to share these amazing swap cards with you.

  First up is a gorgeous card made by Candace that features the Bag of Bones bundle. 

  

  She added a strip of the new Them Bones designer paper seen here to her Cajun Craze textured layer (Exposed Brick) and created the gorgeous blended background circles for her skeletons. I believe she used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Starry Sky and blending brushes.  

  Her skeletons were heat embossed with White powder on Black cardstock, then die-cut with the Bag of Bones dies.  The bats on the yellow moon are die-cuts from this same bundle. 

  This bundle was out of stock for a bit but it's back now! See it here. 

  

  Measurements:

  • Black card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", layer for DSP is 2" X 5 1/2"
  • Cajun Craze 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Them Bones DSP 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" 
  • Circles from Stylish Shapes – 1 1/4", 1 5/8" and 3"

  Check out the inside; she jazzed it up with strips of cardstock and designer paper.  

  

  Sharon made this adorable card with the same bundle and Them Bones designer series paper.  

  

  She added the cool 'Glow in the Dark' bats & ghosts to her middle panel. The skeleton is stamped with Black Stazon ink on Glow in the Dark specialty paper (seen here) as well!  So cool!  

  It's a spanner card!  She jazzed up the inside layers too.  

  

  Measurements:

  • Starry Sky card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4".  Then cut up to center score line at 1 1/2" from both sides.  Horizontal strip is 5 1/2" X 1 1/2"
  • Black layers – front sides are 1 3/8" X 4 1/8", center 2 3/8" X 4 1/8" and 2 3/8" X 1 1/8" for greeting
  • Designer paper – front side panels 1 1/4" X 4", back inside 1 3/8" X 4 1/4"
  • Cajun Craze center 2 1/4" X 4"
  • White inside 2 1/2" X 4"

  

  What a fabulous card! 

  Lastly today is a sweet card by Candace who featured the Pick of the Patch bundle seen here:

  

  I love her out of the box color choices of Pretty Peacock, Blackberry Bliss and Pumpkin Pie. She used the new Deckled Circle dies for the background of her punched pumpkins.  Her ribbon is new as well – a Vanilla and Black gingham seen here.  

  The photo barely shows off the pretty and new Distressed Tile embossing folder.  It's a new favorite for many! 

  

  I'll share more fabulous team swaps tomorrow!  See three other gorgeous swaps here
