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.

• From the North Pole bonus card; so cute! Refills are available!

  December 2, 2022

  ---

  I had time to play with the latest Paper Pumpkin kit this weekend – From the North Pole.  From the hint they gave us beforehand I knew the tags would be cute! 

  

  If you don't like or need tags, they can easily be changed into Christmas cards.  This kit is available in a refill for just $11 while supplies last. The refill kit does not include the stamp set or ink spot and is only available to current Paper Pumpkin subscribers.  Here's a link to it.  

  Each month I send my subscribers AND my Team alternate projects using elements in the latest Paper Pumpkin kit.  I share lots of ideas for bonus cards or scrapbook ideas.  

  Here's one of my projects using the 'From the North Pole' kit:  

  

  I always enjoy stamping my own background; the candy cane & dot are stamps from the kit.  I used Sweet Sorbet and White Craft ink. I added the card base and the two card stock strips – the Mint layer is textured with the Gingham embossing folder.  Everything else is from the kit. 

  

  Another bonus product available to current PP subscribers are these awesome Good Things cards and envelopes seen here:

  

  It includes 20 cards, 5 each of 4 designs &20 matching envelopes – all for just $10!  You must be a current subscriber to get these.  There are perks to subscribing!  These coordinate with the upcoming Good Things come in Small Packages kit – it's filled with gift card boxes.  Cut off date to receive this kit is December 10th.

  • Even with a pre-paid subscription you can skip or pause your kits. 
  • You can give a gift of a subscription too!  What a wonderful Christmas gift for someone crafty.  
  • These kits are all inclusive (except the refills).  They include stamps, ink, adhesives (usually glue dots & dimensionals) and other pre-cut elements.

• Vertical Slider card – a neat and easy fun fold with video

  November 30, 2022

  ---

  Tomorrow on December 1st there are two wonderful things happening; deals you won't want to miss!

  There will be a Clearance Rack refresh AND the Last Chance list starts too. BOTH of these will have numerous products discounted up to 60%. 

  
  

  I'm not sure what will be on the Clearance Rack but I do know what's on the Last chance list.  Download 2022 Holiday Catalog Last Chance here

  Go here to see them all Thursday, December 1st.

  I am loving this Vertical slider fun fold design!  I've made two so far and I can easily see me making more.  

  It basically a gatefold card but the additional layer holds it closed. 

  

  I chose quite unique colors for the Scottie dog.  Think of it as a stuffed animal; ha!  The colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie.  I wanted to use the Metallic & Shimmer 6 X 6" DSP; I think it's perfect for a celebratory card with the shimmer & dots.  

  The Scottie Dog punch is 30% off starting December 1st; instead of $19, it will be $13.30!  

  For the inside I used the ribbon image from the Christmas Scottie stamp set and the greeting is from Charming Sentiments.  
  

  The main element comes off when you open the card; plus it slides up and down too.   It consists of three 2 1/4" circles.  2 are scored in half and adhered to the back of the main element.  Then the last one is adhered over both folded circles.  

  

  What do you think?  Do the colors work for you?  

  Measurements:

  • Petal Party card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end
  • White 2 5/8" square
  • Pumpkin 2 3/4" square
  • Pool Party 2 7/8" square 
  • DSP 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

  

  In the video below I share another version of this Vertical Slider card; plus another special fold and easy treat bags.
