I saw a similar card in the gallery and loved it, changed mine up a bit, used the simply scored to put some extra texture. Scored the card @ 2" & 7.5", the 2" creating the left flap that was shaped by using the Top Note Die. Take your colored CS and cut with the Top Note Die also. I stamped the hearts with versamark and added Cherry Cobbler EP and then cut them out and popped them up with dimensionals. I used the cute line with the heart stamp from the Hello Life set on the envelope and colored the heart in with Cherry Cobbler.

I posted it as a 4.25" x 11" But I think I actually made it 4.5 x 11 and then since it is a tri fold, starting from the left end I scored at 2" and then scored at 6.5" so from the left it is a 2" section and then (2) 4.5" sections. So once tri folded the card ends up being a 4.5" x 4.5". Then next using the Top Note Die I die cut just the left end. (You have to postition the cutting plates so you just cut off the one edge. Then I took my 2" piece of Cherry Cobbler and I just used the already die cut edge and used a pencil to trace the edge, then used my precision scissors to cute it before I adhered it to that 2" section of the card base. I then used a 4.25 x 4.25 piece of Black CS for matting, then a 4" x 4" piece of whisper white that I used my score plate and made two scores up all four sides just to add some texture. Then I stamped my image with versamark and used the smokey slate embossing powder. I added the white ribbon, and the strip of pearl accents to finish it off. I had to make an envelope for it! I would have liked to made it a A2 but because it would have to be 5.5" tall it would then not work with the top note die for the edging. If you wanted to make it a A2, you could do it but the 5.5" would have to be the width, but since you would need at least 13" to get the 2" fold you would have to adhere a flap for the 2" fold on the left edge. I think I will be experimenting with this style card to see what else I can come up with. Possibly a different edge other than the Top Note so I can made the card an A2 with it being 5.5" tall. but making envelopes to whatever size you need is easy if you have the envelope board, plus you can customize it too!! I hope I didn't confuse you!
