Double Dutch Fold - Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been quite some time since I have made a Double Dutch Fold card. You can see that card here. I decided it was time to try another of the pretty fold cards. Using the tutorial at Split Coast Stampers, I cut the paper at 4 3/16" x 9" and the second piece at 2" x 8 1/2" from a double sided cardstock. The pretty patterned papers are from K&Company Classic 12"x12" paper pad. Actually these papers are scraps left from a previous project. The finished card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4".

Cricut Cartridges:

Lacy Labels - Best wishes label is cut 3.15" wide x 1.96" high. It is pop-dotted on the upper flap.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - I chose to use the pretty Happy Birthday Friend sentiment for inside the card. Using Cricut Design Space and Insert Image feature, I inserted the square and changed it into a rectangle that measure 3.25" wide. The Cricut Midnight pen is used for the writing. I really love the sentiments on this cartridge!

I was able to use all four patterns of the two double-sided papers. Love how it turned out!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch 78 Love is in the Air

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.
