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.

• My Sale-a-Bration & New Catalog open house displays

  February 9, 2022

  ---

  I don't think I shared my displays & boards from my January New Catalog Open House yet!  

  Some are my own cards but many of these projects are swaps I received.  

  First is my 2022 Sale-a-Bration display table. 

  

  This first board features half of the Sale-a-Bration offerings including the Sunshine & Rainbows 6 X 6" DSP, the Driving By stamp set, Catching Butterflies stamp set, Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP and the Island Vibes stamp set.  

  See all of our 2022 Sale-a-Bration products here.  Remember you can get these items FREE with each $50-100 you order from Stampin' Up! in February. 

  This next board and display features the Friendly Hello bundle, Daffodil Afternoon 12 X 12" DSP, the Calming Camellia host stamp set and more Sunshine & Rainbows & Driving by samples.  

  

  Next is a wall of displays of the 2022 January-June catalog; especially the designer papers & the Heart & Home bundle. So many beautiful cards & samples! 

  

   

  And here is a close-up of the Sweet Talk 12 X 12" DSP along with a few cards too. 

  

  And lastly is a group of projects featuring the In The Moment, Wildlife Wonder & Flowing Flowers stamp sets, the Daffodil Daydream and Cactus Cuties bundles and many of our newest punches too. 

  

  I hope you enjoyed seeing my displays.  I change up which are up in my studio every few months. My customers enjoy looking at these project ideas when they're here.

• The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

  February 8, 2022

  ---

  I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle. 

  You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here. 

  

  Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

  • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
  • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
  • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
  • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
  • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image. 

  

  I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

  The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to. 
  

  Here's the video!  Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.
