To celebrate Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d share the simple heart card that I make.  Of course, you can make it any time of year, it makes a good gift tag as well or as an any-day surprise for a loved one.

1. Start with a square, flip it so the colour or pattern side is down.
2. Make a two valley folds to create a cross.
3. Make two slight valley folds in the top corners.
4. Make two diagonal valley folds to bring the top corners towards the middle (hint: usually I overlap it ever so slightly).
5. Turn it over.
6. Fold the two sides in towards the middle.
7. Make a valley fold along the line where color meets white, folding the tip towards the bottom.
8. Tuck the corners in on both sides.
9. And you’re done.
10. Now to write a little message inside.  There’s more room for a message if you use a larger piece of paper but you know I like to make them tiny. 

Happy Valentine’s Day!
