Funky Fold Valentine

This card looks way more complex than it really is. There's a few folds and a 'tish' of planning that goes into it, but the final result is pretty wowable. I made it in a recent card class and am impressed I didn't mess it up! The technique is called 'Triangle Card'. I'm not sure if there's a tutorial on Splitcoast, but I'm sure some crafty person has posted one if you do a web search.
