Valentine's Card for Kids

Good evening.  I have been working on Valentine's cards for my kiddos this week.  It is only right around the corner!!!  This is one of my favorite holidays because it is all about expressing your love.  I decided to use a dimensional gate fold card that I haven't done before.  I think the cards came out great and the kids are really going to love them.  I also made a video showing how I created the cards.  Here they are.


Here are some pics of the other card I made as well.

  3. Awesome cards! I really like the overall design. The ribbon on the owl card is adorable. I need to give dimensional gate cards a try-they turned out so cute. Thanks for entering your cards in this weeks challenge at My Craft Spot. :)
