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!

Valentine's card idea using the Punch Party stamp set that is free during Sale-A-Bration. This fun fold card is the perfect something extra for someone special!

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!

Combining the Strawberry Builder PUnch with the Berry Delightful Patterned Paper

For my second card sample, I punched the strawberry using the Strawberry Builder punch from the patterned paper. I love how one of the patterned papers is Poppy Parade with small Daffodil Delight seeds all over. It's perfect for punching out strawberries! I layered the elements and added a tag embossed with the sentiment "Thank You."

Hello there Berry Blessings

My last card uses the blackberry/raspberry stamps from the Berry Blessings stamp set and the sentiment from the Sweet Strawberry set. I stamped the vine from the Sweet Strawberry set with Blackberry Bliss ink on Rich Razzleberry cardstock. Then, I embossed the Rich Razzleberry cardstock with the Subtle 3D embossing folder. I cut the frame from the sentiment using the Stitched So Sweetly dies and tied it with the new striped Blackberry Bliss ribbon. I love this ribbon because it is so easy to tie and holds its shape beautifully in bows!
