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.

Rainbow of Happiness in Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!

March 24, 2022
I saw a similar card using the Rainbow of Happiness that was in Black & pink and I knew it would be perfect for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month. The theme was Black & White with a 'pop' of color.

I chose to use Magenta Madness. It's retiring this month and available here while supplies last.

I stamped the three rainbows in Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Making multiple cards with the Stamparatus is THE BEST WAY! There's no guessing with stamp placement.

Details:
- The stamps (hearts, rainbows & greeting) and cloud die-cuts are all from the Rainbow of Happiness bundle seen here.
- I stamped 'thank you' on scraps of Magenta Madness and punched it out with our Double Oval punch for the rainbow center.
- The designer paper in Black & White is from the All Together 6 X 6" pack seen here.
- The gems are the 2021-23 In Color jewels seen here.
- The Magenta Madness patterned paper is part of the 6X 6" DSP pack seen here.
