Funfold Valentine...


This Valentine began with a white panel that was 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Then I cut a piece of double-sided DSP that was 4" X 12". I scored this long piece at 2 1/2" and 6 3/4". 

The first fold became a mountain fold and the second fold was a valley fold. I glued the first fold back onto the card front after adhering a white strip so that a 1/8" edge was showing. 

The back side of the folded strip that measured 4" X 5 1/4" was glued to the center of the white panel.

On the "folded back" front section, I added a heart die-cut. When I created the die-cut, there were some leftover white hearts. I added them as decoration in two of the corners. I also added a couple of pink enamel hearts.

The sentiment was stamped, fussy-cut, and popped up with foam tape.


On the inside of the card I added a 3 3/4" X 3 3/4" white panel with a stamped sentiment and a tiny enamel heart.

This card design is a great way to use some of your double-sided papers and feature both patterns on your card. The patterns on my strip weren't so very different, so it's not a dramatic look, but I liked how it turned out, anyway.


I thought I'd share one more Valentine with you today, even though it's not a funfold. This is a pretty simple card, and what I like most about it is the stamped sentiment on the front.


I die-cut this heart banner and backed some of the hearts with off-white cardstock.

After it was glued to my card, I added a red gem to the center of each tiny bow.


A simple sentiment was stamped on the inside. I thought this card might work for either a male or female.

We have just returned from spending four days with friends in Arizona. The weather there was cool, but not cold. It was such a nice change and so good to see our friends again.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

You are a genius at those fun folds. I love that cutout hearts on the front. The second one is a good way to use all those stray red patterns. I am going to remember and use that sentiment on my SAS4K cards.

Two wonderful cards, Cheryl! Fun folds are always nice and I almost never remember to make any. Oh well. The second card looks like it could have been made by me. :-) Glad you enjoyed Arizona.
