Fun Fold Card Idea: Bridge Fold

1/20/2021

0 Comments

 
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.

Directions for Creating a Bridge Card

  1. 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.
  2. Adhere the other 2 matching patterned papers (1” x 4”) to the next two panels.
  3. Adhere the last piece of patterned paper (1” x 5 ¼”) to the piece of 1 ¼” x 5 ½” cardstock.
  4. Stamp an image or a sentiment on the circle (or other shape) of white or vanilla cardstock.
  5. Decorate the piece of 4” x 2 ¾” white or vanilla cardstock. 
  6. Adhere the piece of white or vanilla cardstock to the center panel of your card base.
  7. Lay your piece of 8” x 4 ¼” cardstock in front of you horizontally.
  8. 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.
  9. On the right side, fold the cardstock on the second score line from the right (at 5 ½”) towards the center of the card.
  10. Then, fold the cardstock on the furthest right score line (at 6 ¾”) back towards the right.
  11. You should have 2 folded sides that don’t quite meet in the center of your card.
  12. Unfold the right side of your cardstock. Leave the left side folded.
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. Embellish as desired and open your card!
