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.

Wow! Halloween Scenic cards with Life is Beautiful stamp set with video!

September 16, 2020

I am pretty pleased of these two cards I shared on Facebook Live yesterday. I've been wanting to make some spooky Halloween cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set and think they turned out amazing, IF I do say so myself!

This first one features a bright, white moon with a halo of purple around it. I used a 2" circle punched 'mask' and sponged the Rich Razzleberry and Pacific Point background. You can get my easy sponging tips in the video below.

Here I created a window scene with the Stitched Rectangle and Plaid Builder dies. I share my quick method of creating this window in the video below.

I LOVE creating scenes with sponged backgrounds and the Life is Beautiful stamp set is perfect for it! I used the following inks on the card above: Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Black, Craft White and Pretty Peacock.

Do you like the White clouds? I used the same image on the ground as I did on the clouds. Love the versatility of this stamp! The pumpkins and greeting are from the Banner Year stamp set.

The colors above are Smoky Slate, Black and Pumpkin Pie. I used a bit of Magic in This Night DSP, the Cobweb embossing folder and Plaid Builder, Stitched Rectangles and Ornate Frames dies. The little birds are from the Mountain View stamp set.

I hope you enjoy watching the video below!

Customize your cards with the Playful Alphabet!

September 15, 2020
Who doesn't like a customized card WITH your name on it! You won't find that at Hallmark! Use the Playful Alphabet dies to create a one of a kind card.

I made this for my granddaughter Eliza. She is almost 7 and loves anything with her name on it.

The color palette was chosen by the designer paper Playing with Patterns. It's full of bright, unique colors and patterns. In fact, behind her name is a piece of the paper. The gradation of colors sure fits the card well doesn't it?

I used the Stitched Nested Label dies. I cut out the letters from the White die-cut and popped that up over a strip of the DSP. I added some Seal Plus to the bottom edge and pressed my ribbon onto that in small loops.

Her favorite color is turquoise; just like mine! I chose two pieces of Designer paper for the card front and separated them with a strip of Crushed Curry. You can see these products below in my store.
