Wow! Check out these Fancy Fold Valentine Cards that'll make your heart skip a beat! If you're like me, you love cards that do more than just 'open and close' - but let's be real, if it requires an engineering degree to create, count me out!
I'm thrilled to share not just one, but TWO stunning versions of this triple-fold design that started as a creative experiment with an old card pattern. First up is our elegant 'Sweetheart' edition, featuring the dreamy Adoring Hearts stamp set paired with luxurious Brushed Gold & Silver Specialty Paper. For a fresh twist, I've also created a fun 'Girlfriend' version that combines the Pick a Season and Hooray for Surprises stamp sets with the gorgeous swirls of Marbled Elegance designer series paper.
The best part? Whether you're crafting for Valentine's Day or any other occasion, these cards are surprisingly simple to make. Just swap out the Designer Series Paper with your favorite patterns, and let your creativity soar!
Watch me walk you through creating this fancy fold Valentine card step by step! I'll show you all the measurements, scoring lines, and my favorite tips for getting those perfect folds. No guessing required - just follow along and you'll have a gorgeous handmade card in minutes!

Wonderful cards!!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you!

[@melissazabower339]

Stamp designers never cease to amaze me! I am creative but only in the sense of taking pieces and putting them together in a pretty way; they create beauty from nothing! This tree can work for fall, too-- use brushes or daibbers to add fall colors here and there. Hearts in the holes, or draw little apples or acorns or something. 💛😊

[@simplysimplestamping]

That’s a really creative idea!

[@sheilawarren1734]

How do I join Stampinup and what do you recommend for me to purchase in the beginner kit?

[@simplysimplestamping]

Please email me, [e-mail] I would be more than happy to help you with this.

[@dianechristy8011]

I got the name of everything else but I don't see the name of the embossing plate you used.What is the number for The embossing plate.

[@simplysimplestamping]

It is the Metal Plate Embossing Folder item #160766

[@dianechristy8011]

@simplysimplestamping ty so much

[@francesfaulkner6829]

Please get a message to Ginny that we want to hear from her.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Will do.

[@elizabethtanti7884]

Dear Connie I have loved your cards and am an avid follower. Sadly with the news regarding the 25% tariffs placed on Canada by President Trump, I am sorry but I will be unsubscribing to all of my American you tube crafters . I am also unable to support StampN Up. I will miss you!

[@simplysimplestamping]

These tariffs make me so mad. Not all of us agree with our new president but what's done is done. I will miss you too.
