How to Make a Fin-Tastic Valentines Day Card

If you are looking for creative Valentine’s Day cards to send out, or even create for your kids classroom, this Impossible Fold Card is Fin-Tastic!

With Valentine’s Day around the corner Kendra thought it would be fun to create a fun valentine. Kendra is featuring one of her favorite dies, the ‘5723D Impossible Fold Die‘!! This die sure helps creating this fold so fun and easy!! (Later this month she has a new tutorial to share featuring another fun impossible card design!!) She is also featuring our fun ‘37017 How About Lunch‘ and ‘3415 Under the Sea 2‘! These sets have some great sentiments for Valentines!

Die cut the card base from ‘5723D Impossible Fold Die‘ from white cardstock.

Die cut the center large rectangle from the ‘5723D Impossible Fold Die‘ from a dark pink cardstock. Die cut the smaller layer from a shade of pink marble paper from the ‘2204 Marbled Perfection‘. Adhere layers together. Set aside for now.
Stamp images from the ‘37017 How About Lunch‘ and ‘3415 Under the Sea 2‘. Color images and die cut with the coordinating ‘37017D How About Lunch Dies‘ and ‘3415 Under the Sea 2 Dies‘.

Place images you’d like to use on the center layers to find a layout you like. Stamp the ‘I Love EVERY-fin About You’ sentiment in black ink from the ‘3415 Under the Sea 2‘. Adhere images to layer, using pop dots to adhere the fish. Adhere to card base.

Die cut the larger side layer twice from the ‘5723D Impossible Fold Die‘ from purple cardstock. Die cut the smaller layer from a shade of purple marble paper twice from the ‘2204 Marbled Perfection‘. Adhere layers together and then to card base.
Die cut the long rectangle support twice from the ‘5723D Impossible Fold Die‘ from a dark pink cardstock. Die cut the smaller layer from purple polka dot paper twice from the ‘2204 Marbled Perfection‘. Adhere layers together. Adhere layers to each side of the impossible card base.

Die cut the ‘5700-01D Heart Bubbles Die‘ from gold cardstock. There are few ‘whole’ hearts in the design when you cut it, set those aside to use as embellishments at the end. Adhere the heart outline to the left side of the impossible card. Carefully trim excess with your paper trimmer or with a scissors. From the excess, Kendra trimmed a portion to add to the ‘backside’ as well.

Adhere a fish with pop dots on the front support. Adhere solid hearts saved from before to your card as you’d like.
Stamp the ‘You’re Fin-tastic’ sentiment from the ‘37017 How About Lunch‘ in black ink on a piece of pink marble paper from the ‘2204 Marbled Perfection‘. Die cut with the coordinating die from the ‘37017D How About Lunch Dies‘. Adhere to the bottom left of card base on top of heart bubble layer.

Flip card around. Die cut the center large rectangle from the ‘5723D Impossible Fold Die‘ from a dark pink cardstock. Die cut the smaller layer from white cardstock. Adhere layers together. Stamp the ‘I’m hooked on you’ toward the top left in black ink from the ‘3415 Under the Sea 2‘. Adhere images near the bottom right. Adhere layer to the back.
