I love hearts so Valentine’s Day is a great excuse for pulling out all the hearts. For those of you who know me and have been to the Creative Treehouse, you know that I am a DSP hoarder. Well, you would be proud of me for opening up a pack of Sweet Talk DSP from last year. I used it to make this fun fold Valentine card for my team members. (They understand my DSP obsession).
So, I mixed old and new products to get these cute Valentines. The old being the Sweet Talk DSP and the new being the Country Lane Bundle from the current Mini Catalog. Honestly, you could use any DSP to make this card. But, I was determined to open up my untouched pack from last year.
I don’t remember the name of this fun fold card design. But, I’ve used it several times in the past for non- Valentines. If you haven’t tried this design, you should. You can get two card bases out of one 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of card stock. The piece you cut off of the base is turned to make the “flap”. No wasted cardstock! Here is a link to another card with the same fun fold design.
Measurements
Here are the measurements for this particular card:
- Cut a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 inch card stock in the middle on the short side
- Score the 11 x 4 1/4 inch piece at 5 1/2.
- Cut off 2 3/4 inches – save for you “flap”
- Gorgeous Grape borders: cut 2 at 4 1/8 inches x 2 5/8 inches
- Gorgeous Grape inside border: 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 inches
- DSP for front panels (watch directional patterns): 4 x 2 1/2 inches
- DSP for inside: 5 1/4 x 4 inches
- Sentiment border for front: 3 x 7/8 inches
- Sentiment for front: 2 7/8 x 3/4 inches
- Inside sentiment border: 4 1/8 x 2 1/8 inches
- White scraps for stamping and punches hearts

Awesome design. I’m going to try to make a card like.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Sheela! Enjoy making your card.
I love this fun fold. Make this design last year and am using it again this year (different DSP) but still hearts. So sweet. Thanks for reminding me.
It’s a great fun fold. Glad you’re getting lots of use out of it!
Loved your card. It inspired me to make some based on your design. Thanks

Wonderful! It gives me joy to be able to inspire others. Thanks for stopping by the Treehouse! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
Love the card! Are the heart stamps and punches Stampin Up products? Thank you!!
Hi Glenda! Glad your like the card. Yes, everything I used to make the card are Stampin’ Up! products. They were current when I made the card, but sadly, they have now retired.
