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.

Incredible Sweet Citrus projects; part 2

June 15, 2023

Continuing on from yesterday's post seen here, I'm sharing more of Karen's 'Artist of the Month' projects. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set & dies.

Each month one of my Flowerbug's team members takes a turn (voluntarily of course!) to feature a bundle, sharing their projects. They keep the bundle (free!) and I get the projects to share with all of you.

Her first card features limes, using Parakeet Party. I believe her 'rind' is Garden Green.

She also made these two adorable candy boxes.

The one below is filled with lemon candies; so perfect for this stamp set.

This second box is for Orange Tic Tacs. It fits in there so perfectly!

I know she found the pattern online but I don't have the link. It opens from the front and is tied closed with twine.

And lastly is a super cute fun fold featuring coconuts! Yes; you can create coconuts with the Sweet Citrus stamps!

She stamped the coconuts in brown ink on White card stock and colored in the centers with Gray Granite ink using a water painter, leaving the white coconut ring.

She used the Delicate Desert DSP from the Spring catalog; it has retired now however.

It's a bit too much to share measurements here so I'll plan to create a card like this on a future video.

You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here. And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

Here is a photo of all of her gorgeous cards:

Incredible Sweet Citrus cards by Karen – lots of ‘Wow’s’!

June 14, 2023

Karen was our Team Artist of the Month in April and she knocked it out of the park! I cannot believe I haven't shared them yet….. She chose the Sweet Citrus stamp set, Hybrid embossing folder & dies. Look at these gorgeous cards!

Her colors are Parakeet Party & Tahitian Tide. Love those limes and the turquoise leaves.

The card above features Mango Melody with Polished Pink; these colors have since retired. That striped paper was a host paper in the last catalog. The white edge die-cut is from the Basic Borders dies.

LOVE these bright colors with Starry Sky! Daffodil Delight & Granny Apple green. Those vellum leaves and sprigs are a wonderful accent (from the Bough punch).

this last card features Pumpkin Pie with Parakeet Party, Shaded Spruce and Daffodil. She called this card 'Fruit Salad' since it combines many of the fruits she used in other cards.

You can see the Sweet Citrus stamp set here. And the Sweet Citrus Hybrid embossing folder and dies here.

I'll share more of her cards tomorrow.

Lasting Joy card swaps

June 13, 2023

Sharing a few more card swaps I received recently, this time using the Lasting Joy stamp set.

This first card was made with the Countryside Inn designer paper and the Contour Scallops dies.

The card measures 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4". Colors include Night of Navy & Boho Blue. I do not have the name of the creator of this card; sometimes the name gets lost if they add a business card instead of a sticky note in the back.

Here's a photo of the Lasting Joy stamp set. Gorgeous greetings and a few extra images for embellishing.

This next card uses the same Lasting Joy stamp set but in Fresh Freesia and bubble Bath colors.

Evie DiPiazza made this card; she used the Bright & Beautiful Designer Paper and the Elegant Borders dies for that pretty die-cut edge. Here's a link to these dies.
