12 Days of Valentines Day 7 - A Fancy Fold Valentine

Sometimes we need a Valentine, or any card for that matter, that requires a little WOW!  I hope today's card is that wow for you.  I originally created this card to use as a birthday invitation, but it can be modified for any occasion.  Let me show you how to create this card.

Here's what you'll need to make this card:

• 4 1/4" x 11" whisper white card base scored at 1 1/2" and 5 1/2"
• 3 1/4" x 5" real red card stock (for insert)
• 3" x 4 3/4" whisper white card stock (for insert)
• Sending Love designer paper cut at 4" x 3" and 4" x 1 3/8"
• Lace doilie cut in 1/2
• Sealed with Love stamp set (item #142815)
• largest sassy heart cut from Sweet & sassy framelets in real red (item number 141707)
• tear & tape
• silver ribbon
• 3/4" x 3" strip of whisper white cardstock (for greeting)
• real red ink

Fold all score lines using a bone folder.  Adhere 3"x4" designer paper to the front of the card (on the bottom half) under the 1 1/2" score line, keeping a 1/4" margin at the bottom of the card.  Fold the 1 1/2" fold down onto the designer paper and adhere with snail or fast fuse adhesive.  Attach the 1 3/8" x 4" designer paper onto the flap of the card.  Place the lace doilie onto the 1 3/8" flap using snail, then attach the heart using dimensionals.  Stamp greeting onto 3/4" x 3" using real red ink.  Adhere this piece onto the red heart. 

Fold the front flap down (the part that you just decorated) and place tear & tape along the full length of the two outer edges. (inside the side of the card with the 1 3/8" flap) )  This will create a pocket for the insert.

Stamp Happy Valentines Day and hearts onto the 3" x 4 3/4" whisper white cardstock using real red ink, then attach to the 3 1/4" x 5".  This is the insert that can be pulled out of the card.  Attach a small piece of silver or red ribbon to the top of the insert using the hand held stapler.
