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.

Awesome Sale-a-Bration Team card swap samples

January 25, 2023

We held our monthly Team swap and meeting this weekend. As usual my gals created fabulous cards to share with each other.

First is a rainbow of carrots card made by Karen. She used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set. It's a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; yours with any $50 purchase of Stampin' Up! products.

Rainbow carrots are one of the fun food trends right now; she did it proud! She used the Stamparatus to stamp her carrots, repositioning the card stock on her mat each time so the two step stamps lined up perfectly. Genius! I plan to share her technique soon.

She used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here, new Pastel Adhesive-Backed sequins, the Deckled Rectangle dies and the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for her greeting.

Ginny made this pretty card with the Beautifully Happy stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

It's a beautiful 2-step stamp set that is also distinktive; which means it gives two tones of ink on one stamping. My favorite types of stamp hands down!

Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Black. She added that soft layer of Vellum too!

Measurements are:

Card base 4 1/4" X 11", White – 3" X 4 1/8", Black 3 1/8" X 4 1/4" and Vellum is 3 5/8" X 4 3/4"

Jane brought this cute card to share and I had to show you. She used the Adorable Owls stamp set; another Sale-a-Bration choice that's free with a $50 purchase from now through February 28th. *see everything free here

Can you see what is so unique about it?

The Owl tag is loose and can be removed from the card front. It is caught on the horizontal greeting banner that is only anchored at the outer edges. I love this idea!  You could add a bookmark in the same way.

Her colors are Calypso Coral with Fresh Freesia.

Desert Details WOW card

January 24, 2023

I spent time playing with the Delicate Desert suite and this is what I came up with:

I LOVE how it turned out! I really wanted to use the Dry Brushed specialty paper along with the Desert Details bundle seen here. The dies in it are so cool!

The two large rectangles and dies for the stamped flowers are just a few of the dies included.

My colors include Petal Pink & Soft Succulent. I cut two of the open leaf dies from the center of the Dry Brushed large shape, leaving the outer frame intact. No one but me knows there are empty spaces under the White layer!

You can see the Dry Brushed metallic specialty paper here. It's simply stunning!

There are two of each sheet in this package of 12" metallic paper for $8.

I added a few of the Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed sequins on this card too. They're also part of the Delicate Desert suite seen here.

I hope you enjoyed this project; it came together so easily.

Sweet Country Bouquet cards & treat box

January 23, 2023

Jane shared this 'sweet' card and treat box she made at our Flowerbug's team meeting yesterday. They were for her monthly Club gathering.

I think they're super cute and had to share them with you.

She featured the Country Floral Lane suite; especially the Country Bouquet Bundle seen here. Unfortunately the Country Bouquet punch is unavailable right now; it's out of stock until possibly April. The heart and leaves would be easy to fussy cut though.

She used the Scalloped Contour dies were used on the front and back of her box using the Country Gingham DSP seen here; a simple hand made box is between them to add your treats to. I might have to make one to share with you!

I love the greetings added with banners on the front! She gave me the following measurements for the box:

Start with 6" X 5 1/2". Score on the 5 1/2" side at 1 1/2" and 4". Score on the 6" side at 2 1/4" & 3 3/4". Cut up to the score lines on the 6" side. Form your box.

For her card she used the Country Floral Lane DSP seen here along with Petal Pink, Sweet Sorbet and a bit of Mint Macaron. Love the layout!

Mary made this pretty card for our Team swap also featuring the Country Floral Lane DSP. She also used the Love for You Bundle seen here.

That 'Love' die-cut from the White layer placed on the angle adds a fun playfulness to the card. Her hearts and leaves are punched directly from the Country Floral Lane DSP with the Country Bouquet punch. She cased the card from Mary Fish.

Measurements: DSP 3 1/2" X 3 3/4", Sweet Sorbet is 3 3/4" X 4", Petal Pink 2" X 2 1/2", White is 2 1/2" X 1 1/2"

Thanks for stopping in today; more to come every day of the week; Monday – Friday!
