This is a 6" x 6” Card. The papers are from Colorbok, layered with black card stock. The sentiment is stamped on black card stock using studio G clear stamp. To embellish the card, I used Grand Adhesion's Flower from K& Company and the Dainty Black Flourish Sticker from Ek Success. I punched out small flowers and used a brown rhinestone in the middle.

Handmade Gate Fold Greeting Card for Valentines Day

I made a gate fold valentine card this week. The size is 4.5" X 6.5". The base of the card is white card stock layered with black card stock and pattern papers.

Inside the card, I added a hand written sentiment and embellished with punched hearts.

The hearts are punched out using a Martha Stewart lace scalloped heart punch. The pattern papers have a glitter accent which brings a glossy effect to the card. I used Linen Closet papers from DCWV and a Colorbok paper.

When the card is turned up, you can see a pocket inside to hold the photo.

The gate fold card has a simple band to hold the card closed. I embellished it with pearls and used a white gel pen to give a faux stitch effect.

Here is the layout,
