Welcome to Glenda's Cards!
Thanks for stopping by today and also a big Thank You to my new followers!
It is Saturday and time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team member Sarah has chosen the theme for Challenge 78. It is "Love Is In the Air". In addition to Valentine's Day coming up, Sarah reminded us that February is Heart month. Sarah's theme is Love your Valentine, love your Heart and let's see at least two Hearts on your project!
Yes, Valentine's Day will soon be here! Are you finished with all your cards? This may be perfect challenge to create that special card! For my special card, I tried another unique card style called Double Dutch Fold. I have a list with card styles to try and thought this style would be a great Valentine card! I found the tutorial at SplitCoastStampers.
The card started with a piece of 4 3/16" x 9" rosy pink cardstock. For the dutch fold bottom, I used a 2" x 8 1/2" piece of the same cardstock. My pretty double-sided patterned papers are K&Company Kelly Panacci Designer Paper pad. This is a good card style to make use of small left over papers.
Cricut Cartridges:
Love Struck - The couple image is the third image on the top row and the shadow cut is the third image on the second row. Image was cut at 3 1/2".
On the inside of the card, Love is the second image on the last row. It is cut 1.75".
I hand cut the small hearts that you see on the front of the card from tiny scraps of papers.
Other supplies include Martha Stewart inking and Recollections pearls on the heart. Sentiment stamp is a dollar stamp from Michael's. Martha Stewart Daisy corner punch was used on the corners of the white paper.

I love your card! I especially like that you did not just do a flat card. Thank you so much for leaving us a place to learn the fold. I have never heard of it before, and I love learning new folds.
