To achieve the fun hanging cat on the front of this greeting card, I started by die-cutting a stitched rectangle from Basic White cardstock and stamping the cat in Smoky Slate ink so that the tail fell at the bottom of the stitched rectangle.  I inserted the rectangle into the Paper Trimmer and cut from the edge of the stitched rectangle to the cat's front paw, then under the head to the second front paw, then under the tummy, and then from the back of the tail to the opposite edge of the stitched rectangle.  Lastly, I used my Paper Snips to cut around the two front paws and the tail, returning each time to the line cut using the trimmer.

I then stamped the stitched rectangle with "Hi there, Valentine" in Petal Pink ink, adhered it to the front of this greeting card with Stampin' Dimensionals, and finished it with pretty Heart Pearls and a silver bow.

This Valentine's Day fun-fold card is simple to create but has a fun opening (as the name suggests!)...

The cute cat from the Love Cats stamp set makes an appearance inside the card too!  Be sure to add this fun stamp set to your wish list.
