P
atty Bennett inspired this fun fold card base.
This card can be tailored to any occasion, and I decided to make my first one a Valentine's Card.

Instructions:
Score and burnish the 12" x 5 1/2" 2-Tone Red cardstock.
Cut the various sizes of DSP, making sure to use a different pattern for each cut,
Cut the Basic White panel and die-cut the piece for the sentiment using the largest pennant from the Stylish Shapes dies.
Stamp the sentiment using Real Red ink on the pennant die-cut.
Stamp the sentiment on the Basic White panel, along with the heart image.
Die-cut the heart on the Gold Foil.
Open the card base and lay it flat in front of you. Adhere the DSP panels to the 2-tone card base, except for the piece that is 5 1/4" x 1 3/4". This piece goes on the opposite side of the card base so that when you fold it closed, the panel is on the front.
See 2nd, 3rd and 4th panel in the picture.
Turn the card base over and adhere the 5 1/4" x 1 3/4" piece of DSP to the narrow panel. Fold that panel over so that it is the front of the card, and fold the other scored lines so that the panels lie over the 5 1/2" x 4" section.
Take the Gold Open Weave trim and tie it so that the ends come to the front of the card. Tie a simple knot and trim the ends.
Place dimensional under the left-hand back of the sentiment banner.
Attach the gold heart to the upper right-hand side of the die-cut banner.
Slip the left-hand side of the banner under the knot of the open weave trim and adhere.
See the left side of the picture.
Stamp the heart image on the envelope using Real Red ink.
Adhere the Gold Heart embellishments.
You are finished!
