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.

• Fun with Plenty of Pattern masks with techniques & video too

  December 27, 2021

  ---

  I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!  We sure did. The kids come home for Christmas from other cities in North Dakota and we have some fun traditions like an appetizer showdown, presents, lots & lots of games & yummy food.  My kids are still here so the fun continues another day yet! 

  ~~~

  Here is another card idea with the Plenty of Pattern masks I shared on last week's FB Live here. 

  This card features an ombre' effect on Vellum card stock using the Plenty of Patterns masks and a new bundle from the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog

  

  For the ombre' effect I used Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana inks along with Blending Brushes. You can see how it's done on the video here.  

  
  

  I kept is super simple otherwise.  I layered the sponged vellum on a piece of White CS and added a greeting and leaf die-cut. 

  
  

  You can see the Plenty of Pattern masks I used here.  They are so fun to play with; especially if you like sponging or techniques. 

  

  The neat leaf die-cut is in the Artfully Layered bundle in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog as well as the greeting. 

  Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

• Gingerbread & Peppermint fun fold cards – easy to replicate!

  December 24, 2021

  ---

  Merry Christmas!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday.

  We made this neat card at my December Card Clubs. I love the double Z fold design. And it makes great use of both card stock and designer paper! 

  I used the Gingerbread & Peppermint bundle for the stamps & dies.  Unfortunately it's sold out already.  And so is the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper. Retiring Holiday Catalog time is so hard!  

  

  But you can use this card layout with other designs and occasions.  One thing I love about this card is that the inside accordion piece is perfectly sized to get 4 out of an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock so it's great for mass producing.  

  

  The colors are Real Red, White & Mossy Meadow.  

  Measurements: 

  • Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    Mossy Meadow 2 3/4" X 8 1/4" scored every 2 3/4"
    DSP 2 1/2" X 4" for front, two squares at 2 1/2"
    White 2 1/2" for inside greeting, scrap for die-cut label

  

  Other products used here:

  • Real Red 3/8" Mini Ruffled ribbon (Holiday catalog)
  • Meadow dies for the pretty greeting label die-cut
  • Clear rhinestones

• Plenty of Patterns with new Tropical dies; video tutorial

  December 23, 2021

  ---

  This card in Pacific Point & White is so pretty!  I shared how to make it on last week's FB Live.

  

  The window frame is made with the Stitched Rectangle dies on a piece of White CS 4" X 5 1/4". The pretty die-cut leaf is from a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called Tropical Layer dies. 

  I used White Craft ink with the Plenty of Pattern masks seen here & below.  I did not use a sponge; I pressed the ink pad directly onto & through the mask on a separate piece of Pacific Point CS.  You can watch how it's done in the video here.  It's the first project. 

  

  The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set that coordinates with the Tropical Layer dies.  It will be in a bundle at 10% off next year.  

  
  

  Below is the video with these projects & lots more!
