This valentine card was made from using a standard 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" (folded 8 1/2" x 11" unfolded) white card (I bought them in bulk from Sam's Club). Once the card was folded, I trimmed 1/4" off two sides (side & bottom) - making the card 8 1/4" x 5 1/4". I then cut a piece of colored card stock 8 1/2" by 5 1/2" to use as a "back" for the card. In this instance I used pink paper as the back (the actual card is secured to the colored back, so the inside is still white). On the outside - I have security 3 foam hearts (second size of 5 sizes - purchased at Michael in bulk). To make the hearts stick I ran them through a Xyron 150 (mini orange X shaped xyron). I also used 2 of the smallest squares from the same bulk foam pack - though they are secured as diamonds rather than squares. I then layered various papers with the card header. The greeting itself was printed from Creating Keepsakes - Creative Lettering - Font CK Celebration, filled with purple. The inside of the card reads simply "Happy Valentines Day" printed on pink card stock, layered on to the same purple shown above. The font is the same, filled with purple.
