You're Cuter Than Cupid-Send A Smile 4 Kids


 
We are celebrating fun folds this month at Send A Smile 4 Kids. I have to admit that I have never created anything other than a traditional top or side fold A2 card, so I had to go to Pinterest to figure this one out. I found this design on a Stampin' UP demonstrators page using some floral image. I thought it would be fun to do a sweet Valentine's Day card instead. I started with a piece of real red cardstock and cut it down to an A2 size (4.25"x 5.5"), removing 1" from the right side. I cut down down a piece of white cardstock for the insert to be 4'x5.25". I then die cut a rectangle piece of real red cardstock using a Pink & Main nesting rectangle die. I score the right edge at 1/4" and adhered that to the center of the insert panel at the back. I then attached the entire piece to the inside of the card. I then cut down another smaller piece of white cardstock and stamped the adorable image and sentiment from Colorado Craft Company's Mini Love Cards stamp set using Memento tuxedo black ink, and colored it using my Copic markers. I adhered that panel to my folded flap and added black dashed lines around the panel for a bit of interest. I added some patterned paper to the smaller front panel using Pebbles Be Mine 6x6 paper pad. I finished my adorable card off with some Nuvo Crystal drops in the White Blizzard to Cupid's wings and the cloud, and some pretty red clay hearts from Trinity Stamps to the outside panel.
