Shining Brightly Bridge Fold Card with Tutorial

Another simple but stunning paper-and-card optimising fun fold card... as this sizing is all the better as you can make 3 cards from one piece of A4...! 

But before I start... check out the newly released ONLINE EXCLUSIVES HERE... in particular the stunning Meandering Meadows suite... and the fabulous Feathered Flight stamp set (if you like ducks!)

S ... back to the card... the dimensions of this card were originally sized to make best use of 6x6" wide paper... hence why quite a few other cards shared will be pointing to this tutorial!  Such as this scenic one I made last year...

Though... the paper-optimising element wasn't key for this actual card... but the width of the gap/back was just perfect for the Christmas Classics die cut label...

The alternative navy blue version was shared here last week...   

Recipe

A4 Cherry Cobbler 7¼“ x 10.5cm *
Paper (Front Centre) 2½ "x 10cm
Paper (Front Sides) 1” x 10cm (x2) **
A4 Thin Vanilla (Back) 2½"x  10cm (for Greeting panel)

* To get 3 card blanks from 1 piece of A4...
Place A4 Card LANDSCAPE... cut at 7¼” wide. Then turn 90degrees so PORTRAIT and cut in half at 10.5cm.
Then pick up leftover piece. Place PORTRAIT & cut down to 10.5cm. Then turn 90degrees so LANDSCAPE and cut down to 7¼” 

** If you want paper on the Inside Side panels... they want be 3/4" wide for each side (so 3/4" x 10cm (x2)...   AKA if cutting all from one piece of 6x6" paper... cut the paper panels 10 cm High x 1", 3/4", 2 1/2", 3/4" and 1"

(D) Gold Foil 4” Square

Cherry Cobbler 9.5cm x 2.4cm

(St) Very Vanilla 9.9cm x 1¼”

 

Bundle – Christmas Classics

Paper – Shining Brightly

Ink - Cherry Cobbler

 

Instructions

1.     Cherry Cobbler panel LANDSCAPE

2.     Score at 1¼”, 2¼“, 5” and 6”

3.     Bone Fold Mt, V ,V , Mt (where Mt=Mountain & V=Valley)

4.     Adhere papers

5.     Ink up, stamp & die cut as necessary

6.     Adhere greeting panel to Cherry Cobbler panel & trim the 4 corners by hand

7.     Adhere all parts – ensuring that the card folds flat to go in an envelope… Tip- Fold the sides over to the RHS, adhere LHS of die cut frame to left [think about where glue can go!], then open and fold sides over to left and then stick RHS of die cut panel to right…

I have to come clean ... and admit that although I'm still designing and creating projects... and taking the photos to use on a blog post... I then find it very difficult and time consuming to see and find the photos when I need them... and so I have been defeated... 

You may remember that I had a new PC set up at the beginning of the year... and thought that would make things easier and quicker... well that changed a few unexpected things... and I have struggled since... though today I have just remembered  a short term work round... 

I've also had a few extra things on for the last few months... most great! a holiday in Tuscany, Italy in September... and another in the Lake District during October... and then the ultimate holiday present after our time in the Lakes.... Yup...covid! Though I was generally ok with that... and its now gone! Phew...
