Read through all the instructions first before making your Valentine card.

Step 1

Cut your plain cardstock measuring 23 X 17cm and fold in half. This is your card.

Step2

Now you are going to cut your plain or patterned paper measuring 8.5 X 16.5 cm. Note! If you want the edges white you can 1. Lightly sand the edges OR 2. Use white paint. You will need a thin dry paint brush and you will then dry brush the edges. Use a scrap piece of paper to try this on first.

Step 3

Now you are going to insert the brads into you piece of paper measuring 8.5 X 16 cm. They will go into the top right and bottom right had corners

Step 4

You are now going to stick the 8.5 X 16.5cm piece of paper onto the front of the card, on the left hand side. Now put the card one side.

Step 5

You are now going to do the large heart. You will now need a heart template to make the large heart. I used a heart from a mini chipboard album and covered it. If you dont have a heart template you can draw your own heart or go to Google and search for heart templates.

Tape your wire down

Step 6

Now you are going to use your wire and wrap it around the heart. Whilst you are doing this you will need letter beads to thread through. I used BE ME VALENTINE, but this is up to you.
