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.

• Split Front card technique; it’s easy with my template & video!

  We made this pretty set of cards on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  It's the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT.  Click here and follow my page to get notified when I'm live.  There are 6 live videos each month! 

  

  I used the Beauty of the Earth DSP seen here.  The die-cuts are from the Iconic and Artistic dies. in White & Misty Moonlight. The greeting is from the In Symmetry stamp set. Those pretty Subtle Shimmer sequins are from the upcoming Holiday catalog which starts next week!!  

       

  

  I also used another sneak peak product from the upcoming Holiday catalog; the Timber 3D embossing folder.  Of course I stamped the greeting before I embossed it. 

  

  I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on cutting these pieces and finishing the cards. 

  Here is the template.  Start out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock AND of Designer Paper.  

  

  I suggest you cut this out of scrap card stock.  Make marks where indicated and cut on the diagonal.  Once you have the template I first place the bottom left piece (2 1/2") over my cut DSP & CS pieces and cut.  Then I use the upper right piece (3 3/4") on the remaining piece of papers and cut.  That leaves me with the center piece ready to go. 

  Here's the video for you:

• Welcoming Woods sponged background

  July 29, 2021

  ---

  Here's one more card featuring the upcoming Welcoming Woods stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. 

  I went for a colorful background here with Highland Heather, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight. 

  

  I kept this at an extremely simple layout.  Sometimes I just look in my scrap basket of colors I want to use and figure out a layout with them.  These cards frequently turn out to be my favorites!

  Measurements:

  • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", White main image 3" X 4 1/4"
  • Black 3 3/4" X 2 1/4"
  • Calypso Coral 1 5/8" X 4 1/4" 
  • Daffodil Delight strip 1/2" X 4" 

  I hope the cards I've shared using this Welcoming Woods stamp set have inspired you to add it to your list!  We can order from the Holiday catalog starting Tuesday, August 3rd!

• Welcoming Woods Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak

  July 28, 2021

  ---

  With each new catalog I join a bunch of online swaps so I can get lots of samples to share with my customers.  Both the Holiday catalog and a 2nd Sale-a-Bration catalog start on August 3rd!  I know my customers started to receive theirs last week. 

  I loved the Welcoming Woods stamp set immediately.  Nature, trees, 'scene building' sets are some of my favorites.  

  I went for a soft look of winter trees on my card. 

  

  I stamped the trees in Crumb Cake ink onto the White CS.  Then I added snowflakes in Balmy Blue ink and sponged a light 'mist' of Balmy Blue on the sky.  Of course I added a few rhinestones for sparkle!

  That beautiful Designer Paper is called Harvest Meadow.  

  

  The tags for the greeting is from the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. 

  Measurements:

  • Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White 3" X 4"
  • Balmy Blue 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"
  • Harvest Meadow DSP 2" X 4 1/4"
