Cruzin' Through the Snow ☆ CottageCutz

Hello crafty friends!

Today's card is a Bridge Fold Card I made using the Classic 50's Release from The Scrapping Cottage!

My hubby's birthday is in December and green is his favorite color, so this one's for him. There's room on the back for a personal message. This is a Bridge Fold card and I'll show you how I made it, but if you'd like a video, there's a great one on Splitcoast Stampers here.

DESIGN STEPS:

Step 1

Cut a cardstock base to 5 1/2" x 9”.

Score at 3” on either end. Fold into a Z and burnish.

Step 2

Center one of the Clouds Slimline Dies (or die of your choice) over the Z folded piece at the top. Secure with Post it notes or Washi tape and run thru machine back and forth a few times to go thru all 3 sections.

Step 3

Cut 3 pieces of white cardstock to 2-3/4” x 5". Using the same cloud die you used on your folded piece, and in the same position, die cut the tops of all 3 pieces.

Step 4

Score down the center of the outside two pieces of card base and 2 of the white pieces, and mountain fold them. Adhere the non-folded white piece to the center of card and the folded ones to the outside panels.

Step 5

Cut a piece of white cardstock that is 4" x 1-1/2" and score 1/2" on each end.

Cut another piece of white that is 4" wide by about 2" tall and score 1/2" on each end. Then cut the top with one of the cloud dies.

Step 6

Add glue to the side flaps of the straight-topped piece and adhere to the inside sides and so the bottom is flush with the bottom of the white sides as shown below.

Adhere the cloud-topped piece half-way between the front "bridge" piece and the back, but up higher, but so the bottom is hidden below the top of the front piece.
