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.

Fun Team swaps with new In Colors!

May 13, 2025
Today my husband and I are off to Orlando for the 2025 Stampin' Up! incentive trip. We're pretty excited to be there and see all of our SU friends. *less than 1% of SU demonstrators earn the incentive trip each year and I am so blessed to be one of them! Thank you all for your support!!

Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion. I love how she used them as the focal point of her card. She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers. She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer.

She added even more dies to the inside!

~~~

Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.

She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects.

Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here. Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge. Genius!

The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here. And even her gems are from this suite!

Here's the inside view.

Measurements:
- Card base – Vanilla – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4".
- DSP on the inside left 2 5/8" X 5 1/2", on the right 1 5/8" X 5 1/2"
- Cloud Cover layer is 2 1/2" X 4"

New In Color samples with Impressions Abloom

May 12, 2025

I made these cards for my In Color display board. The Impressions Abloom bundle is one of my favorites among the new Online Exclusives.

This bundle has it all – beautiful images, pretty greetings and amazing die-cuts!

It's a 2-step stamp set and has 3 sets of flowers and a set of leaves in images. I love the greetings and the dies especially. These pretty ovals are perfect! See the Impressions Abloom bundle here.

The new 2025-27 in colors are Darling Duckling, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush, Secret Sea and Timid Tiger. The greetings are inked in Secret Sea ink, stamped off once first. Same with the flower centers. I used Lemon Lime Twist CS for my leaf die-cuts. The embossing folders are Soft Waves 3D and Dotted Circles 3D.

These are my two favorites; Strawberry Slush & Secret Sea.
