hearts – Lori Whitlock

Starting to make a few Valentine’s Day Cards, searching my library, and came across this cute easel card. They are quick to make and are always a huge hit with the recipient. You can purchase the A2 Easel Card Be My Valentine files here: (SVG, Silhouette).

First, gather your papers. This is a fun one to use lots of patterned papers.

Below, see all the pieces to cut.

1. Sort and arrange your pieces.

2. Fold you red easel piece into it’s shape.

3. Add the pink base to the bottom of your easel piece.

4. I added just a strip of patterned paper across the pink heart.

5. Then layer all your hearts on top on this piece and adhere it to your card base.

6. Now you need to add a button or brad, something for your easel fold to rest against. There is a little hole right in the file that Lori created, so you know the perfect place to add this. I used a little heart button adhered with a glue dot.

Next, just have fun and add your embellishments; that’s the fun part. All of Lori’s Easel cards are so much fun to build a scene with…my favorite.

And yes, these fold flat for mailing.

Thanks for joining us today!

Hi! Teri here with a tutorial for the cute Box Card Large Valentine’s Centerpiece (Shop, Silhouette). This piece is simple to put together and turns out adorable.

First, I cut out all of my pieces even a few extra heart banner pieces. Since I’m putting this in a location where all sides will be seen, I wanted the banner to go all the way around the box. I also inked the hearts to give them more depth.

I ensured that all of my hearts would fit in the right spots.

Then I glued the main box portion together.

A little tip that I use for stringing baker’s twine is that I apply a small amount of wet glue to the end of the twine and then twist the twine applying the glue. Then let it dry for a few minutes and this will give you a makeshift needle so you can thread the twine through the small holes of the mini banners. I then glued the end of the twine into the corners of the main box portion.
