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.

• Snail Mail & Pretty Perennials; a cute combo with video!

  January 18, 2021

  ---

  Here are the cards I created for Monday night's FB Live video.  It was 'Stamp with Me' night which occurs on the 2nd & 4th Monday nights.  Join me here! 

  

  When I first saw the Snail Mail designer paper I fell in love!  I had absolutely no idea it would be this cute.  Have you found that to be true?  You see things in a catalog and think they're okay or kind of nice. But then in real life you are amazed?!  This is one of those papers!

  This was inspired by a similar card I received in a swap from my friend Dawn Olchefske.  

  Here they are separately:

        

  
  

  My colors were chosen by the adorable Snail Mail DSP – Bermuda Bay, Real Red, Blushing Bride & Pool Party.

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • main layer – stamped or textured 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Designer Paper strips 1" X 4"

• Quick & Easy Easel Calendar cards with video!

  January 15, 2021

  ---

  Look at this pretty Easel Calendar card made with brand new products!  

  

  I used product from both new Stampin' Up! 2021 catalogs.  The designer paper is called Paper Blooms and it's free with a $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. Click here to see it.

  The dragonfly & greeting are from the Dragonfly Garden bundle.  It's in the 2021 Spring catalog and you can see it here. 

  

  These easel cards are so simple to make!  The scored, square piece is adhered to the inside bottom of the main card.

  Measurements:

  • card base 4 1/4" X 11"
  • easel 4" square.  Score at 1/2", 2" and 3 3/4"

  Here are a few more I created as gifts for my customers in December.  These calendars can be found online at a few different sites.  Just google 'mini tear off calendar'. 

    
  

  These are made with designer papers from the Annual Catalog.  The left one above features the Artistic Blooms; the right is the Ornate Garden.  The greeting is from the Friend Like You stamp set.

  The pretty one below is made with the Forever Greenery designer paper. Who wouldn't want one of these at their desk?

• Beautiful Vine Design with Oh So Ombre with video!

  January 14, 2021

  ---

  What do you think of the Oh So Ombre designer paper?  Have you seen it yet?  If not look here.  

  

  It's a 6 X 6" pack of 48 sheets of Designer Series Paper.  There are 2 designs and 4 colors in this pretty pack and it's FREE with any $50 order during  Sale-a-Bration! 

  I created this card with it for a Flowerbug's swap a few weeks ago. The first card features the Bermuda Bay color in the pack.   

  

  Of course I chose to use all new products!  The pretty stitched outline is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here.  I love that they don't actually cut; they just stitch a pretty outline. You can really notice the Ombre since I switched the die when I inserted it back in the window. Watch how in the video. 

  The intricate die is from the Flowering Vines die.  It's part of the bundle with the Vine Design stamp set which is where the greeting images are from.  See them here. 

  

  

  Here I used the BlackBerry Bliss piece of DSP.  Which do you prefer?  

  I hope you watch the quick video I made featuring these new products.
