I wanted to share this cute Valentines card I got in the mail today from my friend Kim. She used a couple of my favorite stamps the Hello Life and Suite Sayings stamp set. I just love the collar fold card, it lets the words, kinda peak out, very cute.

See what you think, it's gonna make you smile!!




This type of fold is called a Collar fold.  It works best with double-sided designer paper. Once folded as described below, then both sides of the paper are seen. Very Pretty!!!



To make this card, the Designer Series paper measures 4 1/4' x 5 1/2". Cut the paper at the half way point (in this case 2 3/4") use trimmer and cut in 1 1/2". After cutting, simply fold the paper back, being careful to line up the points, and fold back completely. This will kinda remind you of making paper planes when you were a kid! :)) One tip when using this type of fold is to make sure that the sentiment you choose will fit in that allotted area.


Here is a little pictorial for the directions:

Have a great night!!

I wanted to show you this  fun card I made using the new Scalloped Tag Topper. I have seen these all over pinterest and was amazed by this! This card has such a coolest closure made with the scalloped punch, this was such a WOW for me that I knew I had to try it. So here's what I came up with, I think it turned out adorable!!



To open the card, you simply just untie the bow. I think anyone would love to receive a card like this. There are probably many tutorials out there, I watched this video and I thought her directions were easy to follow.

Paper: Coastal Cabana cardstock, Whisper White cardstock, Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper
