Counting Sheep Fun Fold for Kids (or Kids at Heart!)

 

Hi friends, Counting Sheep on this fun Bridge Fold card today.  This would be such a cute card for any little one, but especially for a 3-year old!  

There's a panel on the back of the card for an extra greeting and a place to write.

This is the basic template for any bridge fold card that fits in a standard envelope.  My card uses Night of Navy cardstock for the base.  The designer paper that decorates the panels is 1" x 4" (4 pieces); and 2-3/4" x 4" (one piece for the center section).  The DSP that I used is called Beauty of the Earth.

The "bridge" gets attached while one side of the card is folded and the other side is not.  When the card is folded as shown, the length is 5-1/2" - this is how the card will be folded to fit in your envelope.  The bridge gets attached only on the left and right sides using strong adhesive like Tear & Tape or liquid glue.

I assembled the card in this order:

Before folding card base -

1)  Adhere DSP to card base

2)  Adhere greeting panel to the back

3)  Stamp grass on green bridge; adhere fence

4)  Adhere sheep to fence

5)  Adhere cloud, sun & sentiment to center panel

6)  Adhere balloons

Fold card base and continue -

7)  Attach bridge on left and right ends

8)  Add sheep on left & right panels

9)  Embellish with sequins & twine bow

Pro Tip...

Don't let the sheep extend beyond the left or right edge of your card.  If you do, it won't fit inside the envelope!  They can extend past the fold toward the center of the card as much as you like.
