Stunning Fun Fold Valentine’s Day Easel Card

 Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and I’ve got the perfect project to help you share the love—a stunning fun fold easel card! This design is full of gorgeous layers, texture, and charm, making it the perfect keepsake for someone special.

For this card, I used the Hearts of Elegance Bundle, which is perfect for creating elegant and detailed designs. The focal point is a big red heart, layered with a delicate white heart and accented with red florals for a pop of romance. To add even more charm, I incorporated some beautiful Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog (which I earned for free with a qualifying purchase!).

The real magic of this card lies in the textures. I combined the dotted circles die and the Forever Plaid embossing folder to create a unique layered look that truly sets this card apart. These elements complement each other perfectly, giving the card both depth and elegance.


If you’re looking for a card that’s sure to impress, this design is a must-try! Be sure to check out my YouTube tutorial for step-by-step instructions, plus bonus tips on getting even more from your Hearts of Elegance Bundle.
