Six Fun Fold Mini Slimline Valentine's with NO SCRAPS

Last May I had an idea to use three coordinating 6 x 6" patterned papers to make three Mini Slimline cards that also had a simple fun fold... with NO SCRAPS or leftover patterned paper.  I was really happy with how it worked, and it's one of my most popular video's. 😊  You can find the video HERE and the coordinating blog post is HERE.

I was flipping through my Valentine themed 6 x 6" papers, and since someone had just left me a comment on that video it was still in my head. I decided to pull out SIX of the papers and make two sets of  Valentine cards with them. 

Above is the set with the first three patterned papers - you can see that all 3 of the patterns are on each of the cards but in a different order. Below is the second set. I will need five of them to send to the grandkids, and one for a friend for Happy Mail so I'm glad I made two sets. And I LOVED using up six full sheets of this patterned paper that has been hanging around for to many years.

These paper pads also had two identical sheets with small cutaparts. They got trimmed out and added to heart doilies and I also added heart shaped enamel dots and puffy stickers to some of them.

Inside I added white scalloped hearts and stamped the sentiment. This is an older wood mounted stamp from The Stamp In The Hand. Oh, how I loved their stamps - and I still have every single one of them. I wasn't even sure how the rubber would stamp but it did ok!

For reference, your card base is 7 x 6.25". Score at 1.25 and 3.5". I go over this more in the video. Patterned paper - first cut is 1" (for the fold flap) and the second is 3.25" (for the inside). The leftover piece fits on the left front as shown in the video.

I have been asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
