I immediately thought of creating a bridge fun fold card of how the beach, the palm trees, and the ocean view from my room's balcony.
I used the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder to recreate the wooden docks dotted along the islands. I first embossed Whisper White cardstock with the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder with my die-cutting machine. Then I randomly and lightly sponged Crumb Cake ink over the debossed side to create a worn look.
The bridge piece looked a little plain. So, I used the round vellum coral die cut piece as a stencil to sponge Versamark ink onto the bridge piece.
I also sponged the coral die cuts with Calyspo Coral ink to add a burst of color against the blues, tans, and white.
Here you can see how the Bridge Fold card is scored into 5 sections and then folded to make a u-shaped card base that stands up on its own but magically folds flat to be placed into an envelope. The Bridge Fun Fold gets it name from the bracing or bridging cardstock piece in the front of the card. This fun fold is sometimes called a U-Shaped Fun Fold.
