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.

Exploring In Color cards & envelopes & the Paper Pumpkin refill – both while supplies last!

June 2, 2023
May's Paper Pumpkin kit was amazing! It featured our newest In Colors in fabulous scenic themed cards. Here is an alternative card I made with this kit:

I cut one of the card bases into three strips and adhered them onto a Boho Blue card base (5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"). Each printed piece is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4". The White inside is 2" X 5 1/4". The greeting, binoculars & pretty label piece are from the kit. I added a 3/4" strip of Boho Blue CS under it.

**Each month my Paper Pumpkin customers receive a big bunch of alternative ideas!

You can't get the full kit anymore; the cut off date was May 10th. But the refill is still available here. Here's what you get:

For $11.50 this refill kit includes:
* 9 printed card bases: 3 each of 3 designs
* Folded card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"

TWO new June specials! more Norway cruise photos

June 1, 2023

Stampin' Up! has two NEW promotions in June & they both start today!

First is a Starter Kit Promotion – an extra $30 in free product with purchase of the $99 starter kit. This means that you can choose up to $155 in product of your choice for $99. Yes; all of your choice plus FREE shipping too!

Click here to get yours. Or message me here with any questions you may have.

Remember that purchasing the starter kit does not mean you have to hold classes or 'sell' Stampin' Up! products. It just means you want the 20% discount on your purchases. You can be any sort of Demonstrator you want – enjoy the discount only or hold events, or turn it into a business. YOU are in charge and whatever you choose to do is just fine with me and Stampin' Up!.

I'd love to have you join my team of Flowerbug's! We're a fun group consisting of all types of Demo's.

The second promotion is the Designer Paper Sale! 13 different packs of DSP are discounted 15%.

Here's the flyer with prices & item numbers for you. Download June DSP flyer

Continuing on from my post yesterday where I shared photos of our visit to London and some from the Norway cruise…..I thought you'd like to see some photos of the hospitality suite on the ship. We were on the Anthem of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean's ship.

We were invited to stop in each day to spin for a prize. Prized were SU logo items like mugs, towels etc.

They had lots of goodies for us to enjoy each day. Jars & jars of candy & treats many of them unique to us as they were from the UK.

In the hospitality suite they displayed our swap cards, had games & chairs for us to hang out to visit our friends.

We are treated royally by Stampin' Up! but honestly the best things about the trip were time to relax and also spending time with new and old friends we've made over the years.

To stay within direct sales compliance I need to add that earning the incentive trip is not typical for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators. Fewer than 1% of demonstrators actually achieve this extraordinary result. I appreciate my customers and team members that make this possible for me each year!
