How to:

After making a heart template, I used chipboard found in a local scrapbook store to make 24 hearts - two hearts equal one card. I made sure to cut the pointy bottom off of the hearts so that they could stand up. Each heart was also scored with the back of my Xacto knife and folded.

After all of the hearts were cut out, Mr. Bop helped me by dividing the 12 x 12 sheets of paper into four separate areas. I used spray adhesive to glue these areas of red paper to the chipboard.

After applying and trimming the red paper, I used the same method to glue the damask paper. The paper is what held the two pieces of folded chipboard together to form a 3-D heart.

Here are my pretties with with their lined envelopes. I seriously recommend getting the Paper-Source templates. I’m a envelope-linin’-addict now

Along the puff heart’s red edge, I wrote my Happy Heart Day message using a metallic silver gel pen.

I got your card in the mail the other day, and I love it — so creative! It is sitting on the kitchen table right now.
Just FYI, you might want to let the glue for the envelope liners dry a little longer — when I tried to open the envelope, the liner was actually glued to the heart card itself, so I had to cut the whole thing apart. (Or, you can cheat and use double sided tape — that’s what I do.)

Hey Mrs. Bop- thank you for the card! I absolutely love it! It is sitting on my desk next to a V-day card from a reader named Griffen. She did an awesome job too! This was so much fun! Happy Valentine’s Day!
