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.

• Neat Accordion Window Flip card fold with Crane of Fortune with video!

  April 11, 2022

  ---

  I shared a few fun fold cards on last week's Tuesday Facebook Live.  I featured the Crane of Fortune bundle from the 2022 Spring Catalog by Stampin' Up!  This bundle is not returning in the new Annual Catalog next month. See it here

  

  It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen.  The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP.  It's gorgeous!  The photo below does NOT do it justice!  

  

  The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper.  I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper.  I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.  

  Isn't this a neat fun fold?  And it's so easy too.  Watch the video below or click here.  It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper. 

  

  I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here.  Love these dies!  

  
  

  Measurements:

  • Card stock 5 ½” X 8 ½”
  • White inside 5” X 8”, score at 2, 4, 6, 8” on the long side
  • Window is 2 ¼” X 3 5/8”, DSP 1 ¾” X 3 1/8”
  • CS is 2” X 3 3/8”

• Crane of Fortune Split Diagonal card with video; a great way to show off your Designer Paper

  April 8, 2022

  ---

  I love this card layout!  It is an easy way to show off a peak of your pretty designer paper!  I'm calling it a Diagonal Split card.  

  

  I created this during a Facebook Live on Tuesday.  Every week at 11 am CT I share a few projects to inspire YOU to stamp.  Follow me here on Facebook.  Click here to watch the video; there are three projects! 

  The card base is Gray Granite with white & gold accents.  I used the Crane of Fortune bundle seen here.  This bundle is NOT coming back in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog; it will retire at the end of June.  

  Here are the measurements so you can try your hand at this card layout.  

  

  I love the gorgeous dies in this bundle.  You can see it here.

• This quick Fun Fold design makes the most of your double-sides Designer Paper!

  April 8, 2022

  ---

  Have you ever made a card that surprised you with how easy it was and amazed you with it's simple beauty?  This beautiful card did that for me: 

  

  I chose the Symbols of Fortune suite which includes the Crane of Fortune stamp set and the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP that is on sale right now at 50% off!

  Other products include the Hippo & Friend dies (retired now), the Layering Circles dies and the 1/4" white seam binding ribbon.

  Here are the simple measurements: 

  • Black card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/4" scored at 1" on the 5 1/4" side 
  • DSP 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip & 4" X 5 1/4" for the front flap
  • White inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

  See how it shows off the other side of your Designer Paper?  I love it!  Think how many pretty cards you could make with this layout and use up your designer paper too! 

  See the Symbols of Fortune suite here; it will retire when the list comes out at the end of May.  

  Here's another version with the new Hues of Happiness designer paper and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.  

  

  My card base is Granny Apple Green and the greeting is stamped twice; once on the Label Me Lovely punched piece and again on a strip of Melon Mambo CS. 

  This paper is so gorgeous I decided to feature it for one of my Card kits to go this month.  See the PDF tutorial option here. This fun fold card is included in the tutorial!
