  Step 1

  Start by picking out your front and back fabric. I chose white on the inside and black for the outside. Cut them to equal size (I measured mine based off of the size of a DVD cover). Press your fabric. Fold in half and press again so you have a center fold.

• 

  Step 2

  Take your front piece. Fold the front half in half and cut out a heart shape.

• 

  Step 3

  Because this was for my boyfriend I decided to rough up the edges along my heart cutout so I pulled on the loose threads to fray it.

• 

  Step 4

  Next take a second piece of fabric for a reverse applique. You can use any kind of fabric, I went with a white fabric and then I drew on it the first notes of music from our song.

• 

  Step 5

  Using your embroidery needle and thread sew your applique on.

• 

  Step 6

  Turn over and cut off any excess fabric.

• 

  Step 7

  You can use your embroidery floss to embroidery words or designs onto the front of your card.

• 

  Step 8

  Next take your interfacing (cut it a bit smaller than your card) and iron it on to the backside of your fabric.

• 

  Step 9

  Next decorate the inside of your card. Use your fabric pens to write a message. Embroider a few important words, sew pockets for small gifts. Your imagination's the limit on this one.

  Step 10

  To finish your card you can do 1 of 2 things. You can pin the right sides of fabric together, sew around it and leave an opening to turn out and then top stitch. Or you can do like I did and pin the wrong sides of fabric together and sew around it so you have a rougher look.
