This month’s theme is a Bridge Fold card! Now, I’ll be honest—I used to run for the hills when I saw this fold. We just didn’t get along. But hey, they say what doesn’t k!ll you makes you stronger, right? So grab your paper trimmer and let’s bridge this crafty gap together! I watched several videos over and over until I found one that kept it so simple, even I could follow it...

Here are the measurements and cutting and scoring instructions:

Base: 4 1/4" x 8" scored on the 8" side: 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 5 1/2", and 6 3/4" (note: if you turn the card, you can repeat the 1 1/4" and 2 1/2" scores)

-Bridging Element: 1 3/4" x 5 1/4:

-Inside: Neutral or DSP: 2 3/4" x 4"

      Inside Mat Layer: 2 7/8" x 4 1/8"

- (2) DSP: 1" x 4"

      Mat layer: (2) 1 1/8" x 4 1/8:

Here are a couple of others made using these measurements!

Check out the video to see how I put it all together.

November's Online Exclusives Coming Soon

November's NEW Online Exclusive products will be available soon! You'll be able to browse and purchase these new items in my online store from November 4th. Here's a sneak peek!

The Words of Beauty Bundle includes a variety of heartfelt messages that can be combined in many ways, with coordinating dies to cut label shapes and beautiful layered script sentiment elements.

The Brushed with Beauty Suite Collection features beautiful floral designs and a color palette of muted shades, with two stamp and die bundles for even more creative potential.

The Petals of Beauty Bundle combines coordinating stamps and dies that allow you to create layered, dimensional blooms and foliage, with Two-Step Stampin' features meaning you can create even more realistic detail and texture in your floral elements.

The Brushed with Beauty 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper includes detailed floral patterns, with coordinating stripes, polka dots, and textural patterns that make layering paper accents easy. The Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder is a subtle diamond eyelet texture, guaranteed to add elegance to any project. The Pearls of Beauty embellishments in Calypso Coral, Crumb Cake, and White are a perfect finishing touch. Lastly, this suite brings back a favorite product - vellum, in 12" x 12" sheets. Its translucent nature makes it indispensable for delicate layering, and when you combine it with our embossing folders you can create really unique design elements.

This is only one of the suites being added to our Online Exclusives range, and there will be many more new products to browse in the Online Exclusives section of my online store on November 4th. Don't delay ordering if something catches your eye as these new items are initially available while supplies last!

November's new products will be the first to come in our new redesigned packaging. Both photopolymer stamps and dies will come in sleeker and slimmer clear plastic envelopes that measure 5⅝" x 9" or 14.3 x 22.9 cm). Die packages will now also feature printed artwork for much easier identification and organization, and the larger size will mean more stamp artwork can be shown at 100%.
