Cardmaking with Children – Bridge Fold Slider Card

Hello and welcome to AddINKtive Designs. Today I have a fun, interactive card to share with you. This Bridge Fold Slider Card was designed especially for a school holiday cardmaking session that I held for a friend of mine and her eldest granddaughters. A family friend of Mel’s (ex-student of mine), also came along to help out.

As the overall design was not one for ‘beginners’, I did prep most of the project supplies beforehand. Although, I quickly discovered that these girls were very crafty and probably could have handled making their card from scratch.

I made a sample card for my guests to refer to but as you will see from the photos further down in the post, everyone added their own creative ideas to the basic design.

We all used the cute Hello Ladybug Stamp Set, coordinating Ladybug Builder Punch, Medium Daisy Punch and Bough Punch to create this fun, interactive card. A full list of products is included at the end of this post. Using different patterned papers from the pack of Rings of Love Designer Series Paper added to the uniqueness of everyone’s card.

Here’s a pictorial round up of the craft session with these beautiful girls –

It was an absolute delight to host these special young guests (and friends) who were so well mannered, polite and cleaned up after themselves without me mentioning it. I’ll have them back anytime!
