I made this sweet little Valentine’s Day card using the stamp sets “Something’s Fishy” and “Heart-itude” from The Angel Company. I entered in the Red Hearts Challenge at Caardvarks.blogspot.com even though it only has one red heart. I just love the way this card turned out. I stamped the images on white cardstock and colored them with colored pencils. I added cystal Stickles to the fins and heart and mounted them with double stick tape to the aqua colored cardstock. I adhered it to the card front with Pop Dots.
What makes this card unique is the unusual fold. It is an 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 inch piece of cardstock. I scored it at 2-1/2 inches from the top and then 1-3/4 inches from the bottom and folded them toward each other. I adhered a 2-1/2 x 5-1/2 piece of patterned cardstock to the top section of the card. This fold still makes a standard 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inch card.
The inside sentiment is the cutest, if I do say so myself. It would make a great card for your perfect “catch”, a boyfriend or husband that likes to fish, or your girlfriend that needs encouragement in the love department. 🙂 The possibilities are endless. If you don’t want to take the time to make this yourself, you can purchase it in my Etsy store.
