Great video. Your instructions are so clear and your cards are gorgeous. I have so much paper to use up. Thank you for being so creative ,inspiring and willing to share your time making these videos for us.

[@zoedoodle9824]

Fun to watch your creative process. It might have been easier to build your flower bridge if you made a thin bridge just like your others except make it just plain paper. Then you could glue your flowers to that. You could get a curved bridge by using nesting oval dies to cut the bridge.

[@steffaniewilliams3463]

I love that you're posting so many videos on how to use up patterned papers!! My stash is... Embarrassing, haha. Mostly I loooove them and CAN'T CUT THEM 😂 Thanks Sasha!

[@janasher4940]

Me too. I need pad killer videos.

[@carolegunstone2380]

I feel the same about cutting up my DSP.

[@bunnylands916]

Same here!

[@debbiepohl4165]

[@michelegourd5742]

What lovely cards!! I just go the dress my craft paper trimmer!! How do you like yours?

[@lauramartin7300]

Love these, it's different. Love the flower bridge over the strip..I think I'll go pull some card stock and get some bases or cards done. Thank you for showing. Question, .. would you glue a piece of matching paper to the back center to sign it,or have something else on it? I'm thinking of that. Lol. Ty.

[@yolandahuysamen14]

Hi Sasha, Thank you so much for sharing the beautiful card!!!! and also making me laugh with the "cutting off of the little knobbly things" that is so something I would say. hahah . I am looking forward to seeing what you will have for us in your next video..... Blessings

[@donnalipscomb4685]

Love your Bridge cards Sasha. What a Brilliant idea, to make the bridge from flowers! 😃 Just Beautiful. Thank you for giving us the measurements.

[@anaraposo522]

I absolutely love the cards, but love the flower one the best. I haven’t made a bridge card, I think it’s time to try one. Thank you for sharing.

[@ladyhawkj6493]

Thank you so very much for the great video Sasha. You are a true inspiration! Both cards are beautiful and since I have quite a few flower dies, I am going to try that one first. Hugs from Canada!❤️🇨🇦

[@graemejaine1578]

[@feiabergsma6143]

I almost wish to be the birthday girl,who is receiving this gorgeous card, he is absolutely beautiful❤

[@jopayne5617]

hey, I like realism and imperfection better than perfect voice overs, it makes you less intimidating. I just discovered your craft tutorials, thank you for being practical, informative and fun. I have been doing arts and crafts for over 40 years. I have a degree in art. It is refreshing to find someone who isn't talking down to me or just advertising for their company they work for. I have subscribed to your page and look forward to more ideas.

[@emilytownsend6664]

So clever and so intricate, Sasha. Thanks for sharing.

[@suspiciousstew6185]

I really like the birds - they look a little like a mexican bird design. Personally, i'd find it hard to resist buying all the papers!!!

[@bettyehayden2392]

Beautiful.

[@ItachiUchiha-zp3mk]

Love them.

[@JessikateCreates]

So cute! I LOVE how you did the flower bridge, it's so creative. Might have to try making a bridge card now.

[@joannecarroll5504]

"Inches are easier because the numbers are smaller"?? Sure, & figuring out which lines are the halves, quarters, 8ths, 16ths 32nds & 64ths & the related maths doesn't cost BILLIONS of dollars in man hours every single year. That's why the entire world went metric well over FIFTY years ago (except America, where the old men in charge were just too old, inflexible & unwilling to learn how to count to ten). Way to be brainwashed by the patriarchy, lady. When you read cm/mm directly off a ruler, how can it be made any simpler? Oh wait, thinking & crafting at the same time ....

[@SashaReade]

I think you're far too grumpy to be on KZbin watching tutorials...

[@markpickering3031]

What are you on about....🙄

[@margaretcrook2188]

Lovely Sasha!! I love the choice of both cards, Making the bridge with the flowers was just amazing!! Another unique card from Sasha!! Thank you. X

[@suklinkner8684]

Love the bridge card will definitely make some, thanks. Love the last card the best!!!

[@WAlycia]

Love love the flower bridge! Now I’ll cut and score some card stock to make some cards. Who knows, maybe I’ll use up a bunch of scraps. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@mitzi66]

They're both beautiful Sasha! I think I might actually use my paper stash now. I especially love the flower bridge, and I've just sorted my flower dies out, to get myself to use them, good timing ❤️❤️❤️

[@lyanez2438]

Beautiful, yet simple card. The Floral Bridge was brilliant and stunning! Good idea.

[@ninasocal8181]

Love the bridge card with the cut outs!!! I am an old lady and have SO much printed cardstock! Guess I should get it out and try this....THANK YOU so much for the inspiration!

[@davinahardy7195]

Lovely Sasha. I’m definitely going to make one when I’ve brought the paper pads 😂😂

[@M5518-k5u]

Gorgeous cards! This is the first time I've heard of bridge cards. They are a fabulous way to use up patterned paper, coloured card and my dies!! Such inspiration seeing your flower bridge; I was wondering, as you were building it, of using up my acetate too! SO many possibilities! Thank you for inspiring me.

[@PaperToPetals]

Thanks Sasha that was fun! Always enjoy your videos. Love the videos that help me use.up my stacks of paper and I mean stacks! The bridge card is so versatile, can be dressed up so many different ways. Love the cards!

[@pennydouphinett4545]

Both cards are great, but the flower bridge is a whole other level. Your vid was just what I needed at end of stressful Sunday. Thanks as always, you are amazing for sharing.

[@whiteherondesigns]

I love the bridge idea, especially made from leaves and flowers - yet another of your makes I must try. x x

[@karenreeves3958]

I love both of these cards. The papers are beautiful, I love the fall colors, and the flower bridge you made just takes it over the top. Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@djlianneke]

if you make an openable tile on de bridge, you can use it to make a work table or a desk for make-up or something like that. Bench/worktable for fathers day maybee? only a square that you can pull up to close card, and push down on the bridgde in front when cards stands... love this card

[@janicerepass6996]

I feel like you are endlessly creative. Love that flower bridge! Thanks for so many great ideas!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I loved the flower bridge on your card. We all have a process and it is nice to see a pro say"well that didn't work like I thought it would". Then the rest of us don't feel so bad.

[@Professional_ProCraftinator]

This is STILL totally one of my all time favorite card designs!

[@teresasingleton898]

Love the bridge card! Thank you for sharing.❤️

[@carolsoutar4719]

Great idea about the flower bridge. Love how you laugh when you boo boo. Lol. Thanks Sasha.

[@meganiello6336]

Love these~ they do look luxurious! Got my papers out and I'm going to town! Thanks for another great Saturday night!

[@lizzielister1428]

Wow I absolutely love the flower bridge! Stunning Sasha. 😍 Well done and thank you for another inspirational video! 👏🏻 x

[@angelaharnett6437]

What a great idea using flowers for the bridge part . Thank you for sharing and for the Saturday night entertainment Sasha x

[@sharonkaiser2762]

I love that flower bridge going from side to side. That is quite cute! Very nice cards Sasha! Have a great week end!

[@shirleydesrochers4947]

These cards are gorgeous. I really love the flower spray on the last card. Beautiful.

[@leannepenalurick9122]

Love them!!! I love how u describe things- the “knobby” things on the element from the paper pack 😆 It’s just what I call them 😂🤣😂

[@PamG012]

What a great idea with the flower bridge! I can't wait to try my hand at this one. Awesome!!

[@jocliffe594]

Love the flower "bridge"! Such a great idea 😁
