You Can Make This Bridge Card Easily

 Do you ever have one of those days where you have such good intentions to get something accomplished in the morning, but you finally get it done by late afternoon. That was me today.

When I got up this morning I went straight to my stamp room in my jammies to get busy cutting 70 card kits for tomorrow's three sessions of classes in my home. Breakfast was Hershey's nuggets and I kept on slicing, scoring, gathering, and putting the pieces in the envelopes for each stamper as the minutes ticked by.

I listened to a mix of Facebook - Dry Bar Comedy and my direct sales coach Brenda Ster continuing with her valuable advice on making my business better every day.

By 11 am I was getting hungry. So downstairs I went to grab a couple of slices of pizza from the other night. I sat at my desktop computer munching my pizza when I realized, "Oh no, today's blog post posted an hour ago with nothing in it but a photo and my signature stuff at the bottom.  Yikes! 

It's embarrassing to admit this isn't the first time this empty posting has occurred. So I quickly deleted that post and set up a new one for late this afternoon at 5 p.m.

I finished my pizza, took a shower, then went back to slicing and dicing for a couple more hours. I'm 98% done with all the prep work.

At 3 pm I needed to buzz to the grocery store for the munchies I needed for class tomorrow. That took an hour because I kept running into people I knew. It was good to see them, just bad timing for me.

So here it is 4 pm and I'm back at the desktop computer in my office to write about the last card I'm sharing with you from the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and matching Designer Series Paper this week.

A Bridge Fun Fold Card!

I hope you've loved seeing all the beautiful designs that are part of this Designer Series Paper (DSP). I absolutely LOVE that bold "Hello Friend" stamp too.

The best part about a Bridge Fun Fold card is it folds down to fit in the standard A2 envelope that Stampin' Up! sells.

Here's how to create this card:

Cutting Directions:

Petal Pink Card Base 4-1/4" x 8", score at 1-1/4", 2-1/2, 5-1/2", and 6-3/4" 

2 pieces of Side Panel DSP - 1" x 4"

Center back DSP with Bird Stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink - 3" x 4"

Petal Pink Bridge piece - 1" x 5-1/2"

DSP for Bridge 3/4" x 5-1/4"

Pool Party Tag 1-5/8" x 3"

Basic White Tag with greeting Stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink - 1-3/8" x 2-3/4"

Assembly:

With a bone folder crease all the score lines.

Adhere the center back section DSP with bird image.

Adhere the two side panel DSP pieces.

Adhere the Bridge DSP to the Petal Pink Bridge piece (don't attach it yet!)

Stamp and Assemble your tag.

Tag is glued to the bridge starting about 1/2" from the left end of the bridge.

Now is the time to attach the bridge piece, but you MUST fold the left side in so it lays flat. 

See Diagram below:

The bridge piece is attached 1/2" from the bottom of the card and lines up with the sides of the base as shown in the above diagram. You only put glue on each end of the bridge. Approximately a 1" square area on each end. Press firmly to the folded card base.

You are welcome to add embellishment if you desire.

As always add a 2-3/8" x 6" piece of DSP to the envelope flap. Glue well, When dry, trim off excess.

Stand up and admire your beautiful card!
