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.

Beautiful Balloons card swaps

May 25, 2023
This week I've been sharing card swaps made by my Flowerbug's Team. Our swap theme for May was to use new products from the 2023-24 Annual Catalog.

This colorful, birthday card was made by Sharon. It's full of texture, patterns and is also a simple fun fold.

She trimmed off an inch from the right side of her card front to reveal the neat fringe die-cut on the inside of the card. The pattern paper is from the Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" paper seen here.

More details:
- Colors include Boho Blue, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Blueberry Bushel.
- The balloons & greeting are die-cuts from the Beautiful Balloons bundle
- The texture on the card front is made with the Basics 3D 3 pack of embossing folders seen here. They're part of our Online Exclusives.
Both of the cards today are made with the Beautiful Balloons bundle seen here. It's a fabulous set of balloon themed stamps & dies.

Next is another simple fun fold made by Lori. Her colors are Lemon Lime Twist, Misty Moonlight, Blueberry Bushel & a bit of Berry Burst.

Measurements:
- Lemon Lime Twist card base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
- Misty Moonlight 3 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Bright & Beautiful DSP 3" X 5 1/4"
- White greeting 2 3/4" X 3/4"
Thanks for stopping in to see our projects today!

Look at this incredible Lazy Days card swap!

May 23, 2023

I was blown away by the card swap Paula made for our Flowerbug's Team swap in May. Check it out…..

See what I mean? The scene she created is so real & life-like! This card features the new Lazy Days bundle seen here. And she used many of the stamps & dies in the bundle. I counted them – 9 stamps or dies!

Here's a photo of the bundle she used: Lazy Days seen here.

I think her soft colors set the tone for a real porch scene. That rug, lattice, fence and sponged sun – well just everything works! I'm so very proud of her talent. AMAZING!

Her background is white but she lightly blended blue ink for the sky and likely crumb cake for the porch.

What do you think? I think it's incredible well done.
