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.

• Lots to Celebrate stamp set & fun card ideas

  September 11, 2020

  ---

  I made time to play with the Lots to Celebrate stamp a few weeks ago and featured these cards on Tuesday's FB Live.  Remember that I host a weekly FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT here. Follow me so you don't miss any!

  

  This fun, versatile stamp set is my good friend Susie Wood's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set. She created it to coordinate with the Jar Punch.  Click here to see it online.  We've been stamping buddies for years since we met at my first Founder's Circle event and always hang out together at every SU event we can.  Click here to see her blog.  

  
  

  Aren't they fun?  I cased three cards she made and sent me and changed them up a bit; some more than others. 

  
  

  The colors above are Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry & Early Espresso.  That gorgeous designer paper is from the Plaid Tidings seen here. I used three punches here; the Fancy Tag Topper, the Jar punch and the Autumn Punch Pack. 

  
  

  Watch the video below to see her original cards and how I changed them.  Plus I show more of her creative cards too.

• Look at this Amazing Gift!

  September 10, 2020

  I received quite a wonderful surprise in the mail last week from Jakelle; a demonstrator in eastern North Dakota.  Look at what she made me!  

  

  It's a 5 X 7" board on an easel and her craftmanship is incredible! She used sooo many different dies & products to complete it. 

  • Tasteful Labels, Playful Alphabet & So Much Happy dies
  • Lovely Labels Pick a Punch
  • In Good Taste Designer Series Paper
  • Nothing's Better Than stamp set

  

  She sent this gorgeous card too, congratulating me on my Million Dollar in Sales achievement.  

  

  Isn't it beautiful?  She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and dies bundle and the In Good Taste DSP.  If you want to know how to make this Double-point fun fold card here's a link to a video I made.  

  I am so grateful for the fabulous friends I've made; both online and in person.  I would say I have the best job ever; but it doesn't feel like a job!  I'm loving it.  And like my stamp set says, Life is Beautiful!

• Life is Beautiful Apple Tree; get the secret to easy apples!

  September 9, 2020

  ---

  Here's one more card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. We made this one at my August Card Clubs.  

  

  The colors are the new In Color Just Jade with Early Espresso & Real Red.  See the tiny 'apples' on the tree?  Well I wanted just a few apples from the large bokeh dots image. I have a surprising way of stamping just a few of the stamp image.  I dare you to try it!  Watch the video below to see what I did! 

  That pretty stitched shape is from the Celebration Label dies seen here.  There are 5 sizes of this shape in the set! 

  
  

  I'm so happy with all of the projects people are making with this stamp set!  It's been fun to see how much everyone seems to like it!  

  Measurements: 

  • Just Jade card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    Very Vanilla 4 3/8" X 3 1/8" die-cut
    Early Espresso 2" X 4 1/4"
    Real Red 1" X 5 1/2"
