BIRD BALLAD Fun Fold Bridge Card
with Mini-Card Back
from YouTube Live 6/25/19
featuring Stampin' Up! products

This card was the most fun. I have a new love for making Bridge Cards (also known as U-Fold Cards) now. After I made one as a Paper Pumpkin alternative, I wanted to make another one, and so it came to be for my YouTube live on Tuesday evening.

I love how this card turned out. The addition of the little card on back (with stamped sentiment inside) allows room to write.

Also, this card does fold down to an A2 size for mailing, although it has a little bit of bulk so may require a tad bit of extra postage (because of the back piece).

Here are the measurements:
1) Card Base - 8" x 4-1/4", Scored at 1-1/4", 2-1/2", 5-1/2", and 6-3/4". Fold to form the U. (Crumb Cake Card Stock)
2) Bridge piece (Pool Party Card Stock) - 1-1/4" high x 5-1/2" wide
3) Inside back mat - 2-3/4" Wide x 4" High (Pool Party)
4) First Panel Layer on 4 smaller panels - 1" W x 4" H (2 = Pool Party, 2 = Daffodil Delight)
5) Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer on Inside Back - 2-5/8" x 3-7/8"
6) DSP on 4 smaller panels - 7/8" W x 3-7/8" H
7) Back Mini-Card Base (THICK Whisper White) - 2-7/8" W x 4" H
8) Bottom Mat on Mini Card (Crumb Cake) - 2-3/4" x 3-7/8"
9) DSP on Mini Card - 2-5/8" x 3-5/8" (approx)
10) Stitched Nested Label Dies - larger in Pool Party and other in Whisper White card stock to stamp the Birds on a Branch image - size as desired
