There's something special about a fun fold card, and this Valentine version might be one of my favorites!
From the moment you open it, this design surprises you with beautiful layers, sweet heart details, and that WOW factor we all love to give (and receive).
One of the things I love most about this fun fold is how it allows different patterns to shine while still feeling cohesive. The layers add interest and dimension, and the heart elements tie everything together beautifully.
Whether you're making this for a spouse, friend, grandchild, or anyone who could use a little extra love, this card truly makes a statement.

Today I worked with the Gears & Texture Bundle by Stampin' Up!
I always like making my ephemera first. Want to see how I made the gears? Check out this video: https://youtu.be/zdfp_KtlNsE
I know that sometimes, it is hard to make masculine cards. I love the grunge, and texture that this stamp set has. It is perfect for background stamping! I tore the edges, of the Designer Paper. This is a great Mix-In paper pack, and I used my blending tool to highlight the edges.
I used Gallery Blooms Die to create a focal point with the rectangle.
The gears really give it that masculine look, and any guy would love the sentiment on the front!
Some of the other embossing powders that I used, are named in the video.
