Sharing the LOVE

















Valentine's day is in a few days so I thought I'd post this FREE Printable Card and Envelope I designed. It's easy to make and should take less than 30 minutes. The card printout will actually make two cards. One with "for my love" and another with "be mine".












Supplies you'll need:
- An Inkjet or Laser Printer
- White Cardstock (for card)
- Light Weight Text paper or Vellum (for envelope)
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Double sided tape or glue

Optional Supplies:
- Stylus (for creating a score line)
- Bone Folder (helps to make a smooth crease)

Card/Envelope PDF files (FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY, all rights reserved):
http://www.anisegraphics.com/FreeStuff/vcard.pdf
http://www.anisegraphics.com/FreeStuff/enveltemp.pdf















Instructions:
-Download both files
-Print the "vcard.pdf" file on Cardstock
-Print the "enveltemp.pdf" on Vellum or Text weight paper
-See diagram above. Cut Card in half vertically to make two cards. Each card will be 5 1/2" wide by 8 1/2" high.
-Next, you can either measure, score and fold each card at 4 1/4" across or just fold it in half and smooth it out with your bone folder or the handle part of your scissors.
-For your cards, you can either leave them plain or you can embellish with rhinestones or glitter and let dry while you put together the envelope.
-Score envelope where indicated on template. If you are using vellum be careful not to press to hard and cut through, as I did on my first envelope.
-Cut along edge and fold in sides, bottom and top.
-Make sure the printed side of paper is on the outside of your envelope and apply double sided tape to the sides of the BOTTOM piece. Flip it up and adhere it to the side sections of the envelope.

The inside of the card is blank so you can write the perfect message for your Valentine.

If you have any questions on the assembly feel free to email me. Happy VDay!
