DIY: Mini Heart Cards

Hearts are one of my favorite shapes and I wanted to create little heart shaped labels for Valentine's Day card and gift embellishments. A little die cute heart would be great, but hearts as mini cards are even better. Some brainstorming and practice with my heart punch brought some lovely results. Check below for the step by step DIY.


+You will need a heart punch and some paper. Card stock is fine, but pink glitter paper was necessary ;)
+Fold paper in half. You can use a bone folder for a clean edge.


+Turn the heart punch upside down to see the paper line up. Insert paper with the folded edge on the left, leave a little room on the left side of the heart so the punch doesn't punch all the way through the paper.
+Once punched, the heart will have a little flat edge on the left, but that keeps both sides together.


+Heart opens up and you can write a little note inside.
+If you open it up all the way, you can play with a fun connected hearts design!


A little embellishment goes a long way.




 And a little note is always cheerful!


Attached these mini heart cards to your gift tags, mini envelopes, cards, whatever you like.

Have a lovely Thursday!
