Let me show you how to create a DIY Valentine’s Day card that combines romantic elegance with a spectacular triple pop-out surprise. With Valentine’s Day being the ultimate celebration of love and affection, what better way to express your heartfelt greetings than with a card that quite literally opens up with joy?
AND (because timing is everything), I’ve also designed a precious baby card using the same technique – because you never know when those Valentine’s Day celebrations might lead to congratulatory cards nine months later! 😉
The Valentine’s card features the ‘Hearts of Elegance’ bundle along with the Marbled Elegance Specialty designer paper. The baby card features the ‘Cutest Onesie’ bundle and the ‘To Market’ designer series paper.
