I made a card for this month's PTI blog hop using the 3 Panel Card tutorial at this week's Make it Monday #198. I used stamps from Simple Valentine, Heart Prints, Framed Out, Keep it Simple Valentines, and No Strings Attached. I used a technique from a previous MIM about partial die cutting to partially cut that little heart out of the flap. (After I made the card, I realized that it would look better if the heart were the other direction, but I didn't want to redo everything).
Here is what my card looks like all folded up:
This is the inside:
And, here is the back:
It was a fun project to make, and I am looking forward to seeing all the other projects on the hop.
I am also linking this card up at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Have a Heart, Time Out #23 Valentine with the optional twist of hearts and Addicted to Stamps: Holiday.
Thanks for Visiting
I really enjoy when a crafter does something fun and different like this - what an awesome valentine, it is tremendously done with gorgeous colors and just a sweet "heart" iness to it!! Well done - I totally enjoyed seeing this great card and I think I might try something like it!! You have inspired me to "fold" in a different way!!! Have a lovely, happy day!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card...very clever of you to combine with 3 panel challenge. Liking the red and aqua combo..wouldn't have thought of that combo myself. Great idea to use the string & bow on the back too. Will have to look at that set again.
ReplyDeleteJoyce your tri-fold card is fabulous. I love your really unique colour scheme it looks fantastic together! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love that bow stamp? Great colors, Joyce. The inside is perfect too!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card! I didn't realize that bow was stamped on. I thought it was real string... fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWhat an pretty and unusual card Joyce and I love how the heart works as a closure - ingenious!

ReplyDeleteNicely done Joyce.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet and I love your tri fold look! So sweet and the colors, just beautiful. I love the Hawaiian Shores with the red, so striking and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteClever idea to partially die cut the heart and use it to hold the card closed, Joyce. Love the front, back and inside of this one :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun and creative, Joyce ... a lovely package in a card ... and that partially cut heart closure is brilliant! Anita :)

ReplyDeleteLooks like I'm missing out on both the hop and MIM - no PTI hearts anywhere in my stash. The tri-fold card looks great, Joyce, and how clever to have the heart be the closure. I love the addition of the strings and bow on the back.
ReplyDeleteHow clever you are! What a fantastic card...love that string stamped on the back!
ReplyDeleteLove your trifold card. Great tab. Love the stamped back too
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card! I love how you paid attention to every angle and made the inside and the outside fabulous! I also thought it was genius to combine a traditional color palette with pops of light teal/green. It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery fun trifold card, Joyce! I love the colors you used!
