Pals January Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals January 2018 Blog Hop. Our theme this month is “From the Heart” featuring heartfelt projects like Valentine’s Day, Thinking of You, Get Well and Sympathy. Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.
For today's blog hop I made a fun fold Valentine's Day card using some scrumptious Design Paper from Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog called Painted With Love.  I cut the gate fold just so that the largest heart tucks into the medium heart so this card can stand up on it's own.  Here is a little peak at how it looks when it opens up.

I used the Sweet & Sassy Framelits dies to cut out all the hearts.  The inside heart is from the Sweet Soiree Memories & More Card Pack.  This is such a beautiful card pack that you can use to make cards or scrapbook.
Here are the card base dimensions so you can make your very own fun fold gate card.  
  • Cut a 8-1/2 by 11 inch card stock in half at 4-1/4 by 5-1/2
  • Score at 2-3/4 on each end of the card stock
  • Cut each scored end at 2-1/4 until the fold seam (see picture below)
  • Cut the left scored bottom notch out at the seam(see picture below)
