Fun fold time – instructions below! This bridge card stands for display….
…but also folds flat to fit in an envelope. Best of all it’s quick and simple to make! Today’s version is made with the Be Merry Designer Series Paper.
I have a photo tutorial for you that I have uploaded to Google Docs. You can download it here.
Aren’t these little mittens from the Smitten Mitten bundle adorable?! AND there is a sheet of designer paper with a mitten pattern in the Be Merry Designer Paper – perfect!
To write a message on this card, I add a panel to the pack of the card and stamped it with the cute little row of snowflakes from the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set. The other two greetings “Wrapped in the Warmth of Christmas” and the inside message “Wishing you a season of joy, a season of cheer, but most of all a wonderful year” are also from the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set. Don’t they go perfectly with the mittens?!
