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.

Creative Cards Simple Sketch #CC2

February 22, 2021

Get inspired by sketches! You can find them everywhere online; especially on Pinterest. Just search for card sketches and you'll be amazed at the great layouts you'll come up with.

I've started a weekly challenge with my Flowerbug's Team where I share a card sketch or color challenge. I'm calling them Creative Cards or #CC. Here's the one we did last week:

And here's the card I came up with.

I chose to use the Playing with Patterns designer paper and a new product that's coming out to everyone in March. It's called Butterfly Bouquet and it has gorgeous Designer Paper and a beautiful stamp & dies bundle. The stamp & dies will be out in the upcoming 2021 Annual Catalog in May. But they're releasing it early in March!

Demonstrators can order it now in February. On the card above I used mostly the DSP with just one purple die-cut. The greeting is from one of my favorite greeting sets; Happy Thoughts.

Fun Origami Folded Window cards for FB Live Monday!

February 19, 2021

Have you made an origami folded window? They're so easy to do! I'll be making cards like these on Monday night's FB Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

How does 'Stamp with Me' work? I share the projects a few days before the Live to give you time to prep your pieces. You use the paper, stamps & ink you have to stamp right along with me!

You'll start with a 4" square of Designer Paper. I chose to use the Berry Delightful paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Then you draw an X in the center. Do this by placing a ruler from corner to corner. Draw a line. Do the same once more on the other corners. This X is where you will bring the DSP point up to. Press well and then fold back the tip to the fold. Do this on all corners!

It looks like the tip hangs off the corner but it doesn't. I added a layer to some of these measuring 3" square. If you add a stamped layer inside that is 2 3/4" square.

The stamps are from the Berry Blessings stamp set; it comes with this super fun designer paper in a bundle. It's FREE with a $100 order through February 28th. If you place an order to earn this bundle you'll also receive a free 10 cards kit from me for my 12 X 12" one sheet wonder. See it here.

Here's the link to this video.

Seashells fun fold card; wow!

February 18, 2021
Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap.

I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea! She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder.

Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper. This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here.

That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here.

Measurements:
- Gray Granite 8 1/2" X 5 1/4" and trim off 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" on the upper left front. Front is 4" X 2 3/4"
- Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4"
- Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front
- Vanilla inside is 2 3/4" X 4"
*Remember that if you have a nice wish list February is a great time to whittle it down! You can choose to order as a customer and earn free Sale-a-Bration items or get the Starter Kit option and get 25% off a $125 order. And then get 20% off all further purchases! Details in this post or click here.

Today's the last day to get in on my Sand & Sea cards kit to go. Click here to get the kit or the tutorial.
