Step 2

Start by punching round corners into the blank card.

Step 3

Next, choose five sheets of pastel coloured card from the A4 selection pack.

Take the circle punch, and cut a 2 inch circle from each sheet.

Step 4

Use the heart punch to cut a heart from each sheet, being mindful of the grain texture direction of the paper.

Use the flower punch to then cut two flowers from each sheet.

Step 5

Cut two larger hearts from pink card, again being mindful of the grain texture.

Score three folded lines on the reverse side of one of the hearts. Valley fold along the score lines to create a mini envelope. Glue the side sections together. Use the mini envelope as a template to hand cut into the second large heart, cutting an envelope insert. Make sure this slides into the mini envelope leaving a thin border showing across the top edge.

Repeat this step for the other four coloured sheets.

Step 6

Use tacky glue to fix all the inserts into place inside the mini envelopes with a different colour.

Add a different coloured heart to the mini envelope opening, using foam pads.

Step 7

Glue together two different coloured flowers allowing all the petals to show. Then, fix a pale green gem to all the flower centres.

Step 8

Fix all the five coloured circles equidistant onto the card front, leaving a space at the bottom right corner.

Use the template to transfer the caption lettering onto the space on the card front. Write the caption using a black fine liner pen.

Step 9

Attach all the mini envelopes to a different coloured circle using tacky glue.

Use tacky glue again to fix the flowers in place on the left side of the envelopes.
