2 Bridge Birthday card

If a card is a fancy fold, I'm going to do it.  If it includes G45 papers?  Well that's a no brainer....I'm in!  I swoon over new collections of G45 and then travel through Pinterest to see which fancy fold I'm going to use always hoping to find one that I haven't done before as the first card I make with the new collection.  So when I got the  "Little Things" collection I was off and running trying to find just that one special card to make.  I thought I did find that "1" when I made the "Double Floating Panel Card".  Then while surfing today I came across this Bridge card.  I swear I've made this before but I cannot find a hint of one that I have done anywhere in my files.  Maybe I just did a single bridge or maybe I did a double and never posted about it.  I just don't know but I decided I'd do it now.

This card folds flat for mailing but measures 6x6 so it's one of those extra postage envelopes unless you cheat like me and mail it in a larger envelope.  The card does stand even though it does not open like a regular card.  There is just a front and a back.  It goes together quickly too.

For the base you need a 6x6 sheet of card stock.  I used yellow.  This is for the front.  For the back part of the base you will need 1 piece 5.75 x 5.75 (I used silver) and 1 piece 5.5 x 5.5 (I used yellow)

You also need 2 pieces 2.5 x 8 scored at 1, 2, 6, & 7   I used light green

2 pieces layer (I used silver) 3.75 x 2.25 and 2 pieces dsp 3.5 x 2 (I used an orange check)

8 pieces (I used silver) 3/4 x 2.25 and 8 pieces dsp 1/2 x 2

I then took one of the cut-apart cards from the collection and matted it.

The card is pretty easy and goes together in no time.

This card was seen on Sam Calcotts channel if you want to watch the video.  I was able to just jot down the measurements and by looking at the card I was    able to put it together its that easy so give it a try.  You love this one.  Super         quick.
