FOLDING VALENTINES

Send

Winter brought with us not only amazing and magical New Year holidays, but also gave us such a romantic and tender holiday as Valentine's Day. We started celebrating this holiday more than 25 years ago, and now we look forward to it every winter to please our soul mate with a small present. For this holiday it is not necessary to give each other something expensive and sophisticated. It is enough to exchange on February 14 small cards called "valentines", in which we leave different romantic and love wishes. Of course, you can buy some valentines in stores, but especially they will be considered valuable if they are made with the soul and with your own hands. Such valentines can be made using modern scrapbooking techniques. Right now we will consider a master class on the manufacture of beautiful folding valentine cards.
For the master class we take:

Watercolor paper, two sheets of 17 * 24 cm;
Scrapbook paper from romantic collections, take bright yellow-red tones of paper with elves;
Clippings on a love theme from scrapbook paper;
Pictures with bears and angels;
Felling: hearts red and pink, flowers, glasses and champagne;
Stamp "With Love" and ink;
Puncher and Butterfly 3D;
Satin ribbons: salmon, pink and white with hearts;
Hearts made of rhinestones;
Mother of pearl beads;
Glue stick, double-sided tape, thermal gun;
Scissors, pencil and ruler.

So, as we have already decided before, we will make valentines of folding shape, so where do we start, we will make the basis for postcards from watercolor paper. We leave 17 cm in height, and divide the width into parts: 6 cm, 6 cm and 11 cm.

Draw the bending lines and fold in this way.

We make two blanks. Now we need to cut two segments from the ribbons with hearts, just four in order to tie postcards on the bow.

With double-sided adhesive tape, glue the pieces at the back on both sides and tie the bows in front. Now go to the scrapbook paper.

For each postcard, cut out two rectangles 10.5 cm * 16.5 cm and 4 rectangles 5.5 cm * 16.5 cm.

We cut out figuratively pictures with elves, between hearts we insert hearts. We glue a flower, glasses and a picture on one strip, glue a flower with a picture and a rectangle from watercolor paper for wishes on a large rectangle. We also make openwork edges with a hole punch and glue it on prepared rectangles.
