Hubby Valentine

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Here's a peek at the card I'm giving my husband tonight! Shhhh, don't tell him!
I was inspired by a card and video called Heart Tuckaway from Dave Brethauer of Memory Box. This card has a unique fold so when you open the card it looks like this.
I used a Spellbinders Labels One die and partially cut out the shape on my card front and this is what allows the card to open and close. It sort of acts like a hinge. Here's a closeup.
If you noticed, on the second panel I made a pocket to hold a gift card that my hubby can use at the bookstore. He loves to read.

I had such fun making this card and this design can be adapted to any holiday or special occasion with whatever die you fancy and the great thing is this card is the same size as a regular card, 5.5 x 4.25, no extra postage required.

To watch Dave's video and to get all the measurements check out his blog here.

I'm also entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Love Is In the Air.


Wishing you a sweet day!

  9. Love your card! I saw that technique on Dave's website as well and I bookmarked it to go back to. I love that you added that pocket for the GC (great idea to crimp it!). TFS!
