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 Swaps by my Flowerbug’s Team with Sneak Peaks from the Holiday catalog

  July 27, 2021

  ---

  Today I'm sharing two swaps made by my talented Flowerbug's Team.  I love seeing their style & creativity!

  Karen made this fun fold card using the Bunches of Fun stamp set seen here. 

  

  Her colors are Black, White & Crushed Curry.  She also used a fun technique called Paper Piecing.  She stamped the gal onto Pattern Party DSP and fussy cut the dress out.  Love this!!  

  

  See that texture on the large Crushed Curry layer?  That's a sneak peak from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  

  

  Measurements:

  • Black – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", 3" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  • Crushed Curry 4" X 5 1/4", 2 3/4" X 4"
  • White 2 1/2" X 3 3/4" 

  ~~~

  Next is another Sneak Peak card made by Lori.  She used the new Penguin Place bundle in the Holiday catalog.  It includes a cute Penguin punch!  

  

  She added a layer of White to her Balmy Blue card base and torn the upper edge. She added a bit of Wink of Stella to the torn area for snow.  A super fun winter birthday card!

  I am excited to share this card swap Candace made for our July 'use yellow' theme for my Flowerbug's Team.  She used the Give it a Whirl dies seen here and the Stellar Birthday stamp set seen here.  Isn't her sponging and coloring amazing!!!?

  

  She fussy cut the kids but the rest of the die-cuts are all from the Give it a Whirl dies seen on pages 57 & 163 of the Annual Stampin' Up! catalog. 

   

  Her colors are Night of Navy, Highland Heather, Pacific Point & Daffodil Delight.

  

  Amazing, right??

• Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!

  July 23, 2021

  ---

  I created this card for an online swap I participated in.  I love to join card swaps!  I can create one card and make multiples of it.  Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of!  Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style.  Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!  

  I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper.  I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card.  They can be very easy on the eye.  

  

  I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine.  The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers. 

  The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog.  If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now.  This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too! 

  In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!
