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.

| With a 4" x 6" 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,
Basic layout : Take a 6.50" X 9" card stock. Score at 2.25" and 6.75 " and crease the fold.
I hope you like my card. Thank you for your visit.
