Steps (9 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take a sheet of Love It paper measuring 30.5x30.5cm. Make sure that the corner is at 11.7cm on the diagonal ruler and make a score line downwards starting from the notch in the diagonal ruler. Turn the paper 90 degrees and set the first score line parallel to the projecting corner, as you can see on the photo. Make another score line downwards. Do this twice more so that you end up with four score lines.

  2. 2

    Use the corner punch to make rounded corners and cut away the triangles (where the score lines meet).

  3. 3

    Use the cutting ruler to cut a sheet of Florence paper to 14x24cm. Stick this paper with double-sided tape in the middle of the envelope. Next, trace each ‘flap’ of the envelope onto different sheets of Love It paper. Cut these flaps a little smaller than the envelope flaps and stick them onto the envelope.

  4. 4

    Cut a sheet of Love It paper to 15.2x15.2cm, lay it at 6.7cm on the diagonal ruler of the score board and make a mini envelope in the same way as the large envelope. Stick the envelope onto the green area and fill the rest with some fun messages from the Love It paper. Decorate the envelope according to your fancy.

  5. 5

    Punch some hearts out of the golden hearts paper, attach them to a length of bakers twine and stick the garland onto the envelope. Cut a text out of the golden glitter paper with the help of the alphabet cutting stencils and stick it onto the top flap of the envelope.

  6. 6

    Cut a piece of white cardstock to 8x10cm, write a text on the card with the micron pen and stick it to the envelope with foam tape. Cut the golden star out of the scrapbook paper and attach it to the card with a paperclip.

  7. 7

    Make a little folder by tracing the bottom flap onto cardstock, cutting it out a little smaller. Draw two score lines with the score board, fold it to make a little folder and stick it to the envelope. Write an appropriate text on the envelope. Punch out some little hearts, make holes in them and make them into little hangers with short pieces of bakers twine.

  8. 8

    Use the serrated circle punch to punch a text out of the Love It paper. Stick it onto the envelope with foam tape. Then embellish the envelope with stickers and fun texts from the scrapbook paper.

  9. 9

    Fold up the envelope, tie a length of bakers twine around it and decorate the envelope with the puffy stickers from the Love It collection.
