• Create a 14.5cm square blank from white card and cover the front with yellow patterned paper. Fix a panel of black lined paper down the left edge. Stick pink ricrac over the join and secure the ends on the inside of the card, then put to one side.
• Punch out nine envelope shapes from nine different patterned papers. Fold along the scored lines and stick the bottom section in place using double-sided tape. Die cut five circles from dark pink card and four from light pink card. Draw a letter in the centre of each to create the word ‘valentine’.
• Pierce evenly spaced holes around the drawn letters to create a guide for the stitching. Sew in contrasting colours. Go over each letter three times with doubled-up thread to create an effective finish.
• Fix a circle into each envelope using 3D foam pads. Starting at the bottom-right corner, stick the first envelope to the base card using tape. Add the remaining envelopes to complete the design
