Today I am sharing a Fun Fold card that was given the name “bridge.” I love how easy it is to make, and yet has the “wow” factor!  To begin, I used a Cheerful Daisies Die to cut the three attached flowers and leaves from Masterfully Made Designer Paper. I backed it with Thick Basic White Cardstock for sturdiness, because it would be “bridging” the opening of the card.

Next, I created the card base by cutting a piece of 12″ X 12″ Basic White Cardstock, 10 3/4″ X 5 1/2″. After cutting, I scored it on each end, 1 1/4″, 2 1/4″, and 3 1/4″. My Paper Trimmer made this very easy to do. Then, I folded and burnished the scored lines, accordion style. 

To decorate the card base, I cut two pieces of Basic White Cardstock, just a spec smaller than 1 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, and one piece, just a spec smaller than 4″ X 5 1/2″. I prefer this, so there’s no chance of it hanging over the edge. After cutting, I embossed the three pieces with the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder, and glued them in place. It takes two trips through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Once my card base was complete, I glued the daisies in place. I was careful to glue only the portion on the sides, and not the area in the opening. 

The sentiment, “wishing you the brightest birthday,” is from the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set. I stamped it in Memento Black Ink on Thick Basic White Cardstock, and used its Cheerful Daisies Die for cutting. It was the perfect size for my “bridge!”

After gluing, I put the weight of Clear Blocks on it to make sure the glue was set. You can write on the back, or adhere this to a card base that folds at the top, making it an easel card. This Fun Fold was really fun, and I hope you’ll give it a try. 

I was inspired by Freshly made Sketches.
