Quick and Easy Valentine Card

We recently visited with a local PEO group about several of the store offerings and classes. It was such a nice group of woman and a wonderful lunch. We gave a quick and easy Valentine card as a goodie bag for them to make. Everything was precut, but if you would like to make your own card it's easy to do.

Take a 12x12 sheet of hot pink Bazzill cardstock and cut 3 - 4x12 sections

Take one 4x12 section and from the left score at 4.5 and 10

The front love paper is 3.75x4.25 cut and adhear using a tape runner

The inside solid light pink is 3.75x5.25 cut and adhear using a tape runner

Small rectangle piece of hot pink 2x2.75 cut

Small printed rectangle 1.75x2.5 cut

Using foam tape near the edges adhear the two small rectangles together

Run fun fur fiber around the edge between the two rectangles and tie

Use foam tape on the left side of the back rectangle to leave room for the flap to tuck under and adhear to the front of your card

Add some bling to your design

Tuck the right side 2" flap under the rectangle piece and your done

Merry Christmas!!
