Soar Confidently Father’s Day Bridge Card for the Creative Creases Challenge

Creative Creases Challenge #

Anything Goes with a Fun Fold runs through MAY 13th at noon.

Welcome to the next Creative Creases Challenge! Firstly, thanks to all those who participated in my last challenge! I am so happy that you all took the time to play along. If you haven’t played in my challenge, I hope you will be inspired to join me in the challenge that’s starting today! The Top Pick for the last challenge is at the bottom of this post as well as the link to enter the current challenge with the very short list of rules to enter.

For my new project, I made a bridge fold card for Father’s Day. This idea came to me when I purchased the Basic Borders dies from the new Annual Catalog (begins May 4th), and wanted to pair it with the wonderful plane image in Soar Confidently. My 91 year old father was an Air Force pilot for 20 years and still dreams about flying!

• The bridge fold card is so much fun to make! Firstly, I used this tutorial from Splitcoaststampers but made some changes for my card.
• Card base: 5 1/2″ x 9″ and scored at 1 1/2,” 3,” 6,” and 7 1/2.”
• Cardstock panels (3): 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
• DSP Panels (3): 2 5/8″ x 5 1/8″
• Bridge piece (2): 6″ and cut with cloud Basic Border die. I wanted it wide enough to stamp the sentiment and place the plane onto but you can make it smaller.

Now, the FUN Part!

• Once all of the paper was cut, I scored two of the panels in half before gluing them together. Then all of the panels were adhered to the card base.
• Secondly, I stamped the plane with Misty Moonlight ink and carefully fussy cut it out. Then, I stamped the two sentiments – one on the bridge panel and the other on a piece of scrap White cardstock. After that, the bridge was cut with the cloud border die (NEW!) with another panel of Misty Moonlight to layer behind it. Before popping the sentiment up, I cut a piece of Misty Moonlight ribbon to place underneath for a little touch of interest.
• Finally, I used the cloud die from the Majestic Mountain dies to make a couple of clouds for the side panels.
• This card almost folds flat for mailing, however the panels covering the score lines prevent it from completely folding flat. However, you can omit those panels or cut the panel in half and only cover the card base itself, not the fold. It’s worth it to me to keep it like this. Therefore, I will just put it in a larger envelope or place it in a thin box for mailing.
