Crafted with love and a touch of elegance I’m sharing a design that’s sure to impress. This card features the breathtaking Stampin’ Up! Marbled Elegance background paper paired with delicate heart accents. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or anytime you want to send a message of love, this card design combines sophistication with a creative fun fold that makes it truly stand out. Let’s dive into what makes this card so special!
About This Card: A Stunning Star Gatefold Design
Isn’t this card stunning? The Star Gatefold technique adds an interactive flair, making this card a “wow” moment right from the start. With layers of beautiful, gold-accented Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper and hearts of various colors and sizes, this card truly shines. The swirling patterns and luxurious gold foil detail make it perfect for special occasions. And because this fold offers such a striking presentation, it’s a fantastic choice for both new and experienced card makers alike.
Introducing the Marbled Elegance Suite from Stampin’ Up!
The Marbled Elegance Suite is your go-to for creating heartfelt cards. At the heart of this suite is the Hearts of Elegance Bundle, with coordinating stamps and dies for layering different heart shapes. It’s a classic for Valentine’s Day, but don’t pack it away once February ends! The suite is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, and any moment you want to show love.
The Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper features gold foil swirled into marble-like patterns, adding a lavish look to any card. Plus, the suite includes Adhesive-backed Heart Sequins and Gold Twisted Thread for a little extra sparkle and texture. This bundle has all the essentials for adding elegance to your projects with ease.

Envelope Options for the Star Gatefold Card
One question I often get with fun folds like this is, “What about the envelope?” For this Star Gatefold card, you’ll want an envelope that’s slightly larger than the card itself. The dimensions are just shy of 6” x 6”, so a custom envelope works best. But don’t worry—if you’re short on time, a 6” x 9” envelope will also do the trick!

I’ve created a free PDF that includes step-by-step instructions, template measurements, and a complete supply list. There’s also a video from my class where I walk through creating this Star Gatefold card from start to finish.
