Club tonight

Well, tonight is my monthly club, and I decided that I couldn't decide on only one card to do, so I made two!

I made a simple, easy valentine card, that has a bit of a "wow" factor to it because of the unique fold.

Here it is:

This card fold is super simple... you just cut an 8 1/2 by 11 paper down to 4 1/4 x 11 (you can then make 2 cards with one piece of card stock).  Then you score at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. That's it!

I used real red, pretty in pink, and basic grey.  The designer series paper is Love Impressions from the new Occasions Mini... it's super fun! The stamp set is Filled with Love, which unfortunately retired yesterday.

This is the second card I'm doing... I am obsessed with the new game spinner hands in the Mini... they are way too much fun! I did this card in a 4 x 4:

I love how it turned out! This may be a favorite color combination... I used two in colors, blushing bride and pear pizzazz, and early espresso.  The stamp set co-ordinates with the game spinner hands, it comes with 4 images:

 I bought this stamp set in clear, for only $25.95 (item #122015).  The spinner hands are 4.95 for 12 sets... (item #121893). I think this is a great deal, for a simple, wow card!

Now, if you're wondering how I got a perfect square scalloped edge, I used two punches, the scallop trim border, and the scallop edge border.  You have to use exact sizes to get a perfect edge all a way around. Here are the dimensions:

1 5/16" - 4 scallops
2 3/8" - 5 scallops
2 7/8" - 6 scallops
3 1/4 " - 7
3 13/16" - 8
4 1/4" - 9
4 3/4" - 10
5 1/4" - 11
5 3/4" - 12

Here is a picture of them, if you're a visual learner:

(thank you for the image, Gretchen Barron).

I used the  3 1/4" square for this card.

That is all for today, thanks for reading!
