Sweet Conversations Valentine's Z-Fold Card
The Z-Fold card is one of the easiest fun-fold styles and it's so fun to decorate!
Background Basics—Start with a 4-1/4" x 11" piece of Thick Basic White cardstock, scored at the 2-3/4" and 5-1/2" marks. Fold the card base in half, then fold the front flap back to create the "Z" shaped fold. Layer two 2-3/8" x 3-7/8" pieces of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper onto two 2-1/2" x 4" Real Red cardstock layers. Mount these layers onto the front flap and on the inside right of the card.
Card Front Décor—Stamp the Sweet Conversations sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto the center of a 3-7/8" x 2-3/8" piece of Basic White. Stamp the larger Sweet Conversation heart in Highland Heather several times around the edges of the piece, then stamp the smaller heart in Real Red to fill in the spaces. Adhere the stamped piece onto a 4" x 2-1/2" piece of Real Red cardstock, then onto a 4-1/8" x 2-5/8" piece of Highland Heather. Tie some Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon around the layer into a double knot and trim the ends. Finish by mounting the piece onto the front flap only with Dimensionals. Optional: add some Wink of Stella shimmer to the stamped hearts. Finish by adding a few Iridescent Rhinestones under the sentiment.
Inside Card Décor—Stamp the Conversation Hearts sentiment in Memento Black, then add some Highland Heather and Real Red stamped hearts around the greeting.

Sweet Conversations Front Flap Card
Another fancy-fold Valentine's card that is simple to assemble and fun to decorate!
Background Basics—Begin with a 7-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Real Red cardstock, scored at 3". Adhere a 2-3/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper to the front of the large card base. Next, add a 1-1/4" x 5-1/4" piece of the same DSP to a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White cardstock. Do not adhere it yet.
Front Flap—Cut a 3" x 3-1/2" piece of Real Red cardstock and score at 1/2". Adhere the 1/2" flap on the smaller Real Red piece behind the Basic White cardstock layer to create the front flap. Attach the Basic White layer onto the inside of the card.
Flap Envelope—Stamp a Sweet Conversations sentiment in Gorgeous Grape at the bottom of a 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Basic White cardstock, then adhere onto the front flap. Die cut the tiny envelope from Basic White cardstock with the Sweet Hearts die. Fold the envelope and secure closed, then adhere to the flap.
Finishing Touches—Stamp the "Luv U" heart in Gorgeous Grape onto Highland Heather cardstock, die cut it and pop it up onto the envelope. Die-cut a couple of large hearts and four small hearts from the Highland Heather and Real Red cardstock. Tuck the larger hearts inside the top of the envelope and pop up the smaller hearts around the sides.

Maternity Leave Update—We are enjoying our sweet little Ava, born on November 17. See photos of Miss Ava on my Too Cool Stamping Facebook Page.
►LIVE Classes—My regular schedule is temporarily on hold while we adjust to our new lives with baby Ava. I may do some LIVE videos without offering kits, but it will just depend on how things are going. I'll let you know in plenty of time if I decide to go ahead with a LIVE Class.
►Modified Maternity Leave—I'm on what I call a "modified maternity leave" between now and January 31. What this means is that I will not be having regular events, LIVE Classes, daily blog posts, or regular Facebook posts. However, I'm not stepping away from my business completely! I WILL still be touching base with you as much as I can, giving you updates on Stampin' Up! promos, having some of my own specials, sharing creative ideas & tips, and, of course, giving you updates on baby girl. I want to still be accessible to you for ordering and any questions you may have. I thank you in advance for your understanding and continued business during my downtime and I'm looking forward to being back stamping with you regularly early in 2022.
