Sharing the Love

I wanted to share this card I made for my beau one Valentine's day. After trying to come up with a non-traditional card fold, I created this crème de la crème. The trick is to make sure you don't exceed the fold to be the width of the envelope. Therefore, this card measures 4 x 5 inches, and fits perfectly into the envelope it was made for. I used regular 8 1/2 x 11 inch cardstock and cut it to be 11 x 5 inches. The stamps and most of the cardstock are from Stampin' Up! The front of the card tucks inside two slits made with an exacto knife and when unfolded it reveals itself as a self standing work of art for your honey to admire. The best part is that the space tucked underneath the fold can then be used to write a special love note just for them.
