A valentine and envelope in one!
This is what I came up with:

Outside back.

Outside front.

Inside.

  • How to make an envelope. Valentine's Card Envelope - Step 1
    Step 1

    First I made a big a** mess. No really, I made a few prototypes out of scrap paper (the yellow and pink paper in the middle) and then the one out of red paper that I worked out the other elements.

    I gathered all my stamps, inks and some other Valentin-ie elements from around the craft stash to play with.

    These are the ones I landed on:

    The top one that I used for the "I" or "eye" is Judikins Soul Windows #3 and the "U" or "you" is #3991 F. and the others were in my stash.

    It's a bit hard to see but I stamped the real heart on a pink square of paper and embossed it with red embossing powder.

    I inked the edges of the Valentine and the edge of the little foam pink heart sticker.
