Bridge Card

The ladies who attended my card class last weekend got to make a "bridge card".  Take a look:


 To be honest, I got mad at myself for including it in my class, as there were tons of pieces that I prepped beforehand.  ðŸ˜©   But seeing everyone's finished product made the effort SO worth it!  


Gorgeous Grape was cut to 8" x 4-1/4" for the card base, and scored at 1-1/4" and 2-1/2" from each end.  Then there were eight Highland Heather panels to add to the edges (of both sides); these were embossed with the Exposed Brick embossing folder.

The bridge was made using Gorgeous Grape, 5-1/2" x 1-1/4", Basic Black, 5-1/4" x 1", and Basic White, 5" x 3/4".  And then we added flowers cut with the Impressions Abloom dies (coming May 4th).  


The neat thing about this card is that it folds flat for mailing, and can fit in a standard envelope!  


And to make it easy to write a note or sign your name, the back panel is also "finished".

It's always fun to try a new fun-fold!

Friends for Life

Today is the 41st anniversary of my brother and sister-in-law's beautiful wedding.  I'll always remember how many years they've been married, as I was 7 months pregnant with my daughter.  I can still recall the dancing and how I threw that baby bump around!  So fun!  (And she loves to dance! - could it have anything to do with that day?)

I pulled out the fun Friends for Life dies to create this:


 Two big hearts - isn't that perfect for an anniversary?

I used the largest heart die to cut them using the Full of Life Designer Series Paper.  And I used another strip from the same piece of patterned paper for a strip at the bottom.


Did you notice the two-toned greeting?  I dipped half the stamp (Layers of Beauty) in Melon Mambo and the other half in Pumpkin Pie - cool!


What a pretty way to comemmorate a special day!
