Happy Sunday!
Today I’m sharing two simple bridge fold thank you cards. This type of fun fold is so easy to make and you can decorate them in any way you like. I chose to decorate mine with some pretty paper from the Party Pattern 12″ x 12″ designer series paper stack which is sadly retiring in a few days, punched flowers, leaves and heat embossing. It is a good way of using paper from our stash. My cards fold flat to fit into a 6″ x 6″ envelope.
The sentiment on my first card is from the retiring Ornate Thanks stamp set. I stamped in Versamark and Night of Navy ink and then embossed with clear emboss powder. The gems in the centre of each flower are from my stash.
You can see me make the second card in the video later in this post and I share a sneak peek of a stamp set that will soon be available in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue called Happiness Abounds. This suite is absolutely gorgeous and I will be sharing more about this product suite in the coming weeks.
This checked paper is also from the Pattern Play designer series paper pack and I think looks amazing. I’m so pleased I got this pack as it was such good value and the designs are lovely. In the centre of each daisy a Daffodil Delight Glossy Dot has been added.
