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.

Biggest Wish in a Beautiful Color Combination

June 22, 2021
Here's a pretty card with a soft & soothing color combination made for an online swap.

The colors include our new Fresh Freesia with Pool Party. What do you think of it?

I featured quite a few new products on this simple card. Here's the list:
1. Biggest Wishes stamp set seen here.
2. Iconic Dies for the feathers; seen here.
3. Hello & Thanks embossing folders seen here.
4. Pattern Party Designer Series Paper pack seen here.
The polka dot paper is from the Pattern Party host paper pack on page 171 of your catalog. It's can only be earned with host benefits. It's just one of the choices in the Host Rewards but my favorite by far. It's 48 big sheets of 12 X 12" Designer Paper. One side is colors & patterns and the other is Black & White.

The greeting label is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies seen here. I colored our white Pearl jewels to match with the Fresh Freesia Blends marker.

Bamboo Beauty & the Ink Swipe Technique

June 21, 2021
I created this striking card for a swap I participated in with some of my Demonstrator leader friends. I wanted to highlight the beautiful Bamboo Beauty stamp set.

I decided to create a bold background effect by swiping ink pads directly across my Basic White CS. Each one turned out totally different!

I chose to use these colors from top to bottom – Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Calypso Coral. Depending on how well inked your pads are you can get a variety of hues. After I swiped the darker colors I used the Pale Papaya over it all to blend and soften the colors together.

My measurements for this card are as follows:
- So Saffron card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
- White (before swiping) 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
- Black 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
I hope you try this technique; it's so fun! I shared this technique using glossy paper in a video a few years ago. Here's a link to it.
