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.

• Extra special Gift Card idea with a pop up ‘gift bag’ inside the card!

  December 9, 2021

  ---

  Here's another gift card idea for you.  It looks harder than it is; honestly! It's a 'gift bag' inside the card! 

  
  

  Here's the front view:  I used the angled Heartwarming Hugs designer paper piece I cut off from this card I shared yesterday.  I love it when I can use my paper efficiently! 

  

  I kept the front very simple as you can see.  The greetings are from the Encircled in Warmth stamp set seen here.

  I even added 'tissue' using the Ever Eden cotton paper!  It's a 6" piece I folded into points. 

  
  

  I used our Real Red sheer ribbon on the front for both the bow and the 'handles' inside the bag. Below is a photo of the gift bag cut out.  Measurements are included. 

  

  Pop-up Gift Bag card measurements:

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11"
  • White – two at 4" X 5 1/4"
  • DSP 4” X 5 ¼” cut one section off diagonally
  • Purse 4” X 9 ½” scored on the 4” side at ½” & 3”, scored on the long side at ½”, 1”, 4 ½”, 5”, 5 ½” & 9”

  
  

  Below is the video for 3 different gift card options.  I'll share details on one more unique card tomorrow.

• Need Gift card ideas? I have three!

  December 9, 2021

  ---

  Last week I created 3 different gift card options on Facebook Live.  You can see it here.

  I'm sharing the first one today: 

  

  I used the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper seen here) and the Encircled in Warmth & Christmas Season bundle. 

  It's made from a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper; score it every 4".  Trim off one angle for the pocket and adhere it to a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.  

  Inside I added a 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White CS that I textured with the Star-Crossed embossing folder. I decorated the front & inside with stamped & die-cut images from the Christmas Season bundle seen here. 

  Depending on how you decorate this card it can be quite easy to make!  Below is the video for this one & 2 more gift card options.  I'll share details on another tomorrow.

  My team member Bobby sent me this amazing card last week.  I was seriously blown away!  She is super talented!!

  

  She used the Sunflower dies to create a medallion for the main greeting.  I never knew it would double as a medallion; I love it so much!

  Her background is created by adhering strips of the Ever Eden specialty designer paper (seen here) to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Evening Evergreen card stock.  This paper will be discontinued in early January; it's available only while supplies last. Notice the pretty gems; these are called Garden gems and can be seen here.  I'm surprised they're not sold out; they are gorgeous and a terrific value. They are also while supplies last. 

  She die-cut two 'sunflowers' from Gold foil & Evening Evergreen card stock and adhered them together, offsetting them a bit. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set for the main greeting, embossed in Gold embossing powder. 

  ~~~

  Why did she send me a Congratulations card?  Well I had a wonderful year as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!  I achieved top levels for Leadership, Team Building and Sales!  I'm most excited to achieve #29 overall in the United States.  Woo hoo!!!

  

  Thank you all for your support & encouragement.  Whether you've watched videos, ordered from me, are a Flowerbug Team Member, or follow my FB page or blog I appreciate YOU so much!  This hobby turned business has enriched mine and my families lives. I truly love what I do and YOU are the reason!
