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.

Easy Christmas Ornament card

December 14, 2021
I think this is pretty clever & unique; it's a 'faux' Christmas ornament on a card. And it's quick & easy too!

It looks so real; like you could lift it off!  And you actually could if you use temporary adhesive; or add it to a pocket.

I shared this project on a FB Live last week. It's the second project I made in this video.

Products used:
- Merry Melody embossing folder on the White CS
- The ornament is made with the largest smooth circle in our Circles dies.
- The DSP is called Painted Christmas and is in low inventory right now.
- Elegant Trim for the 'hanger'.
- Brushed Metallic specialty CS for the 'hanger'.
- Heat embossing for the greeting – from the Words of Cheer stamp set.
- CS is Real Red, White & Evening Evergreen
Here's a close-up of it.

I give a few hints in the video on achieving this. Basically you want to stamp your greeting first and add it to your DSP. THEN cut both pieces out at the same time with your circle die.

Below is the video for you. I share another special card project and some pretty star/snowflake ornaments as well.

Fun way to use paper strips! Live video tonight!

December 13, 2021
We made these cards on FB Live Monday night. What a fun and easy way to use up your extra designer paper pieces! Click here to watch the video.

I used the Pattern Party designer paper for these cards. It's a host choice in the back of the annual catalog seen here. One side is Black & White and the other is colorful prints. I love the black & white patterns with a pop of color!

Tips:
- I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS. This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to.
- I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one.
- Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in.
- I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.
- My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long. It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.
- Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension.
- Add a greeting and accents if desired.
You might wonder where this greeting is from. It's an upcoming Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Hello Friend'. It's in a bundle with a pack of Designer Paper. It will be free with a $100 purchase during SAB in January & February. Of course Demo's can earn it free now during our pre-order period.

The other new items here is a punch. Can you spot it? It's called the bough punch and has two options in the punch. The large leaf and the 'buds' too.

Below is the video for you:

Last of the unique ‘Gift Card’ ideas with video!

December 10, 2021
I've shared two other special gift card ideas and today I have another. It's the last one I shared in this video.

It features the Penguin Place bundle seen here. And it's now available but on low inventory; once more. The punch was out of stock for a long time.

This penguin is super cute and quite versatile. Certainly not just for Christmas!

Details:
- His main body is punched out of Black glitter paper.
- I fussy cut his scarf from Heartwarming Hugs DSP.
- I stamped the snowflakes on the Black CS using our White Craft ink.
This card opens up like this:

There's a fold inside that brings up the 'gift card' when you lift up the card front. I did use Thick White CS for this so it stands up to lots of use. Isn't it fun? It's quite easy too!

Measurements for the Pull-Up Penguin Gift Card
- Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”, DSP 2” X 3 ¾”
- Black card 4” X 11” scored at 3 ½” & 8 ¾”
- Inside Thick White 2 ½” X 5 ½” or 6” scored at 3/4" from each end
- Front white 2” X 3”, Black 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”, Red 2 ½” X 3 ½”
Below is the video tutorial. It's the third & last project I share.
