... like a panda and a fox {hearting} each other...
oh, and a freebie. ;-) You can download it here.
This printable folding card and envelope design is my small way of saying "thank-you" for stopping by my blog (if you are new -hi!-, and especially if you've been following for a LONG time!), for leaving sweet and helpful comments, for buying my products, and just generally being nice. I appreciate it so much!
This is a high-resolution PDF that you are welcome to use for PERSONAL USE. (Please do not use this in any way for commercial use. Thank you!) Just print right at home, cut out, assemble and give to your loved one!
There are two envelope options: one for mailing and one for not mailing.
I included directions where needed in the PDF. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me (there's an email link in the top left corner of my blog.)
(source: envelope template based off template at Designers Toolbox.)
Some photos of everything printed and assembled (sorry for the different color casts on these photos.. not a good day for taking photos... ;-)
If you share this with a friend, please make sure to link them back here. Thank you! :-) Have a great weekend!
**edited to add! Susan commented about what is a good paper to use when printing. Great question! I'm super picky about print quality. I use an Epson Stylus Photo R220 and i LOVE the quality. It's one of the cheaper ones too. I've used it for years.
But paper: I purchased the Staples brand matte paper and I've LOVED it. I also bought another brand that I really liked, but I can't remember the brand. :( It was from an Office Supply store though. When printing, make sure to play around with your printer settings in the print window to get the best outcome. With my Epson printer window, I go to "Properties" and then click "Best Photo" and then "Matte Paper Heavyweight". I always unclick "Photo Enhance". That usually prints too dark. Hope this helps!**
oh you are too sweet!

This is wonderfully unique! I would love to print it and put it in a little frame for Valentines Day.....which leads me to my question....do you have a certain paper you recommend for printing your things on? I have been wanting to do some of the clever things with the printable items but am very intimitdated by the idea of printing them myself and having them look horrible!!
Thanks!
Susan

Found you through Freckled Nest - I love this Valentine's Card! I wish wish wish I had a color printer. I'll have to save the file for when I get one - this design will not be going out of style!
Best,
