For my Valentine Card project I used the Lover Bugs pattern file by ScrappyDew.
The white card base is cut at 12 L x
5w folded in half, punched with a Martha Stewart Edge Punch. I cut 3
red mats at 4 3/4 w x 5 1/2 L punched using the same punch. Now, if your
punch has a larger design you may have to adjust your mat size. One mat
for the front, two will be used for the inside of the card. Glue in
place, make sure the mats for the inside of your card are secured well. You will be attaching the inside fold to them.
Next I cut and scored the inside fold
for my card, you'll want to glue all your pattern paper, mats and do any
stamping before gluing to your card base. The red mat with the stamped
image I cut at 3 1/4 square, the same for the white mat, then I used the
same edge punch. The stamp set coordinates with my paper stack, both
from Martha Stewart - Enchanted Woodland. I also fussy cut a flower branch from the paper and adhered to the stamped image, added a pink flower.
After all is dry then you can glue your
fold to the inside card base. I started at the bottom first making sure
all sides are lined up, then I glued the top section. I closed my card,
keep something heavy on top until the glued has dried. You won't have
any warping.
While my card was drying, I inked and
put together my paper piecing. My wings are vellum, I applied X-mas Red
Stickles to them. The heart doilie is by Bird. Attached my piecing using
Scotch Foam Mounting tape, added Rhinestones to the smaller hearts
above their heads and more stickles.
Phew!! I think that's it, LOL If you
stuck with me through this whole post I attached the file for you inside fold. Tutorial
