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.

Butterfly wobble & Bokeh technique with video!

March 29, 2021
I'm excited to share one of my March Club cards with you. This background is called the Bokeh technique.

Sponging a background is a big favorite of mine and when you add the Bokeh technique to it you get magic! I created my own dotted mask by punching a bunch of circles from a piece of card stock.

We made these cards at my March card clubs and they loved it! I used the Vine Design stamp set as well as the Happy Thoughts set; both are retiring and on the Last Chance list here.

Measurements:
- Pacific Point 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  White sponged layer 3 3/4" X 5"
  White layer (under sponged layer) 3 7/8" X 5 1/8"
  White inside 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
  White greeting strip 1/2" X 5"
I used Pretty Peacock, Pacific Point & Magenta Madness inks as well as the White Craft ink pad for the light colored dots. You can see the video below. It's so easy and amazing!

The butterflies are created with the new Brilliant Wing dies seen here. They'll be in the upcoming Annual catalog but are available now too.

Here is the video; I hope you watch it. This technique is so fun and unique every single time! Think of the colors you could use!

Sweet Easter Baskets; Quick & Easy

March 26, 2021

Need a quick project for Easter? Or May Day? Or to make something fun with a child? This is it!

I made these on a recent FB Live and it couldn't be easier!

Start out with a square of paper. I chose to use White card stock for the one above since I wanted to stamp my own background with the Circle Celebration stamp set. I chose to use Magenta Madness, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue.

I used a 5 1/2" square of White CS for it so I could get two baskets from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" paper. Score it at 1 3/4" on all sides. Cut up two sides and fold them up to form the basket. Add a strip of CS for a handle and something fun on the side.  Here I used the Oval Occasions stamp set.

For the butterfly basket on the right I used a 6 X 6" square of Butterfly Bijou designer paper. Unfortunately this paper is sold out now. They hoped to have enough through May but we all loved it so much they ran out! I'm so sorry about that.

The 6" basket is just slightly larger than the 5 1/2" basket; both work wonderfully for holding treats!

You can see the video here. It's a FB live replay; scroll towards the end to see the basket project.
