Fun Fold Card Idea: Bridge Fold

1/20/2021

Today, I have another fun fold card idea for you that is easy to make. For last night's Mystery Stamping event, we created Bridge Fold cards. I love this card because it has so much dimension to it. It fits in a regular sized envelope, but will pop out to stand nicely on someone's mantel or windowsill. Today's samples use three different stamp sets and packs of patterned paper. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Fold fold cards using Stampin' Up! stamps and papers from the Sale-A-Bration 2021 and January-June Mini Catalogs. These bridge cards are simple to create!

Directions for Creating a Bridge Card

Adhere 2 matching pieces of patterned paper (1” x 4”) to the two outside panels of the piece of 8" x 4 1/4" cardstock.
Adhere the other 2 matching patterned papers (1” x 4”) to the next two panels.
Adhere the last piece of patterned paper (1” x 5 ¼”) to the piece of 1 ¼” x 5 ½” cardstock.
Stamp an image or a sentiment on the circle (or other shape) of white or vanilla cardstock.
Decorate the piece of 4” x 2 ¾” white or vanilla cardstock.
Adhere the piece of white or vanilla cardstock to the center panel of your card base.
Lay your piece of 8” x 4 ¼” cardstock in front of you horizontally.
On the 2nd score line from the left (at 2 ½”), fold the cardstock towards the right. Then, on the first score line (at 1 ¼”), fold the cardstock back towards the left.
On the right side, fold the cardstock on the second score line from the right (at 5 ½”) towards the center of the card.
Then, fold the cardstock on the furthest right score line (at 6 ¾”) back towards the right.
You should have 2 folded sides that don’t quite meet in the center of your card.
Unfold the right side of your cardstock. Leave the left side folded.
Adhere the piece of 1 ¼” x 5 ½” cardstock to the farthest left and right panels of your card base. Be careful not to put glue in the center!
Adhere your stamped image to the piece of 1 ¼” x 5 ½” cardstock so that it overlaps one of the outside panels. Only adhere it to the 1 ¼” x 5 ½” cardstock and an outside panel.
Embellish as desired and open your card!

3 holiday card ideas using the Coming Home and Peace and Joy stamp sets from Stampin' Up! including a gift card holder.

Did you know I offer a monthly online card class and game night? Usually, it's the last Tuesday of the month, but we did November's card class and game night last night. This month, I shared how to make 3 cards using the Coming Home and Peace & Joy stamp sets from Stampin' Up! including a gift card holder idea. Participants will receive their card kits in the mail in a few days and a few lucky winners will get prizes in their kits. Besides seeing great cards like these, we have a lot of fun playing games and chatting. I hope you'll join us for the next Card Class & Game Night on Dec. 29.

Coming Home and Peace & Joy Cards

My first card use the fun VW bug from the Coming Home stamp set that is headed home with a Christmas tree. This piece of Trimming the Town patterned paper is Old Olive and Pool Party. These aren't colors that I wouldn't normally put together, but I love them on this paper and continued them with the car and tree. There is something fresh about these colors with the white.

Holiday card idea using the Trimming the Town patterned paper, Home Together dies, and the Peace and Joy stamps and dies from Stampin' Up!

I love all these couples and families on the Trimming the Town patterned paper. Here, I've cut a circle of this paper with the Layering Circle dies and mounted it on a piece of Misty Moonlight cardstock cut with the Stitched Shapes dies. I added a die-cut greeting cut with the Joy dies.

My last card is a fun fold gift card holder. This gift card holder is easy to make and a fun way to give someone a gift card or maybe a little cash. I used Stampin' Seal + on the patterned paper holding the gift card to ensure that the paper is strongly secured.
