What a cute and clean classy Valentine’s Day card. Thank you for sharing Connie
Super cute!

This is a beautiful card. Thank you for the creation!
I want to make 8 of these cards for Valentine’s Day. When I order the “From The Heart” card stock, will it be enough to make 8 cards?
Yes, you will have plenty from 1 package of Designer Series Paper.
I just ordered the Designer Series Paper this morning, January 15. I want to make one card to take to my scrapbooking/card-making class as a “show and tell” on January 25. Do you think the paper will arrive by January 23 or 24?
I almost passed this card by since I don’t make Valentine’s cards. However, I then realized that it would be perfect for using up designer paper that I keep buying and not using. I used a pad of jungle/botanical related papers that I’ve had for a couple of years. It’s great ’cause they’re already colour coordinated. I was thrilled at how easy the card is, but how it looks complex, and my friend who received it for her birthday was absolutely delighted. I’m no into making multiples to have on hand. Thanks for this practical, fun idea.
YAY! I totally agree. It’s not just a Valentine’s Day card. I’m so glad you decided to give it a try!
Love this card—the Triple Fold Valentine card!!!! I plan to use it for my Diva Girls Club. We meet monthly and learn a new card from each other. I will be demoing this card but not as a Valentine card but as an everyday occasion one. Thank you for all your great card ideas which are beautiful without taking hours to create. Simple but elegant!!

Such a cute fold, can I ask what would measurements be for a 4.25x8x5 card..folded at 4.25? I wanna make smaller version..
Tilly, I don’t think you could make the card 4 ¼” if you were using a 4 ¼” x 8 ½” piece of cardstock. To make the card 4 ¼” you could fold in half and that’s it.
Thanks for sharing very cute card
Awesome fun card Connie! I will have this as a card in my make & take class, and I know it will be a hit! I love that my guests can stay in their seats to make it–no die cut machine necessary. Lol! I will give you all of the credit–of course. Thank you for creating a very CASE-able card.
I can’t wait to use this idea for not only Valentines but any occasion. Thanks for the idea.
Oooo! VERY awesome card and fun fold – THANK YOU so much for the idea and handout (handouts work soooo much better for my brain process when I go to craft!)
