Here is the infinity card that I made last night. My husband is going on a business trip on Saturday and he'll be gone for Valentine's Day, so I'm going to sneak it into his suitcase. I already trained him to open them properly by showing him my first attempt which I posted yesterday. I used scrapbook paper, and glued images on once I constructed the card. Here I added a butterfly to the front.
Then this is what you see
when you open the front by bringing the middle cut up and down. These represent things that my dh and I like to do, look for wild plants when we hike, go to the beach, garden.
Then you open those images like a cupboard door and you get this:
(I'm going to add words, in some of the white spaces). Then you open up and down from the middle again and: 
this is the back of the card, but when you open it like a cupboard door, you find yourself back at the beginning!
I made another by printing on the back of scrapbook paper, but I printed some of the images upside down by mistake. I figured out how to make a perfect template in paint shop pro while I was in the shower, but I've run out of time this morning.
Thanks for looking. Check out yesterdays post for the link to directions and a video on how to make these. Very very simple really.

I'm linking to Lit and Laundry's Finished for Friday! Check out the other accomplishments there!
That is so romantic. Great idea and tutorial. So, when you show the things you and hubby like to do together, I guess I would have to find many pictures of food (haha). Lately, that's all we've been doing. I need spring...I wish your husband were with you on Valentine's day. My husband and I aren't getting each other anything. We're going to take our Valentine money and donate to Haiti. I saw that suggestion on Ellen D today and thought it was a good one!
ReplyDeleteI love the concept of your blog. and you are right, even 10 minutes a day spent on creative pursuits is good for a person. I do try and sew somthing every day. Can't wait to finish more of those floral blocks. i have 4 done now.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I'm going to check out the tutorial. Thanks so much for linking up to Finished for Friday. I'm really enjoying all the great Valentines ideas this week. I hope you have a chance to visit some of them.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet of you! I like the theme of your blog too. 10 minutes a day is not a lot of time to devote to something you like to do.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I saw your comment about Kiva. Go for it! It makes a difference to people who might not have any other chance. I just keep flipping the loans as they are paid back. I have even gifted loans to my daughters.
Very cute card! I like your blog theme too. So often I think I don't have enough time to create, but I can just take a few minutes each day. I'll have to keep that in mind.
