Valentine Defined

This is a fun way to fold a card base. It is called a z fold. Cut, score, and fold the base as usual but then score and fold the front flap in half. It is still the same size card with a twist. I used Valentine Defined from the new spring mini for this. I colored on the rubber for the birds and flowers. I stamped the heart vine in red and colored in some of the hearts with a pink marker. I stamped the words in red. When the card is closed the words actually hide under the birds which have been double mounted on the scallop circle punches. I love how they fit inside each other. They are mounted with two dimensionals. The satin ribbon is held on with a glue dot.

Valentine Defined Cards

I made these two cards using Valentine Defined. I love the little stretch of hearts. I stamped them in real red then colored over a few of them in pretty in pink. The top one has some punched hearts using the triple heart punch. I put a little crystal effects on the heart on the bottom card to make it pop. I cannot live without my Big Shot. I used the dotted folder and the new framed tulip folder for these cards. I also used Teeny Tiny Wishes, the scallop oval punch, and the two smallest oval punches. Of course I had to add ribbon. I just realized I did not use any rhinestones or pearls. I must be getting sick, lol!
