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.

• More fabulous Flowerbug’s Christmas cards

  October 28, 2021

  I shared some of my Team Christmas card swaps yesterday here.  And today there's more beauties; all made with stamps from the 2021 Holiday Stampin' Up! catalog.

  this first card was made by Candy using the Reflected in Nature stamp set & Welcoming Woods.  I LOVE her colors of Navy, Cherry Cobbler, White & Smoky Slate.  A gorgeous card!

  Next is a super neat fun-fold window card made by Candace.  She used the Penguin Place bundle in Navy, Coastal Cabana, White & Black. The penguins are extra special punched from Black glimmer paper.

  At first glance it looks like a regular card front.  But wait…. look!

  She cut a window on the front using our Stitched Rectangle dies revealing the cute penguin layer inside.  They're actually attached to a second card base inside that flips down. 

  She used the Whimsy dies to add a stitched border to each inside layer. Love this detail.

  Isn't it cool?!  

  Measurements:

  • Navy card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Coastal Cabana inside card base 5 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
  • White pieces 4 3/8" X 2 7/8", Navy layer is also 4 3/8" X 2 7/8" inside

  Barb made this unique card using the Be Jolly stamp set.  Her colors are Misty Moonlight, Red & White.

  She heat embossed the stars on the front layer with White embossing powder. She also sponged the edge.  She used our Layering Circle dies for her Santa.  But look how it flips open to reveal a greeting!

  Such a fun surprise and it's just a 1/2" flap hidden under the front layers.  So smart! 

  Here's the inside view:
