Bridge Fold Card – Fun new fold!!

I have seen this bridge fold card online and so wanted to try it

It looks a bit complicated, but is SO easy

Credit goes to Lyssa Zwolanke for this great card

The neat thing about this card is that if folds flat to fit into an A2 envelope!!

Just a quick little tutorial

Cut your card base 8" x 4 1/4"

Score at 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 5 1/2", 6 3/4"

Now you will need some mats – I used the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper 

2 – 4" x 1" (for the front pieces)

1 – 3 3/4" x 2 1/2" (for the inside)

If you do a mat for the center section that measurement is 4" x 2 3/4"

The "bridge" piece will be 5 1/2" x 1 1/4" (or what size you want)

Then you will use a coordinating piece of designer series paper which will be cut 5 1/4" x 1"

I used a piece of Copper Foil Sheet that is 5 1/2" x 2" as I wanted to accommodate the snowflakes from the Swirly Snowflakes Thinlits Dies (new in the upcoming 2017 Holiday Catalog)

I will share more samples of these soon!!

Add your designer series paper, then fold the left side

Add some Tear & Tape to the ends of the "bridge" piece.

Adhere the bridge piece to the left side and then fold the left side and add to the right side – then fold the right side on the score lines

It "collapses" on either side to fit into the envelope!

This is a wonderful "3D" card
