Fold the kraft cardstock to the size you want for your card. The natural brown tone already gives you a lovely, warm base.
Use the red and white pens to draw small hearts randomly across the front. Keeping them spaced unevenly makes the pattern feel more organic and playful.
Add a simple outline or a tiny highlight inside some hearts if you want a little variation.
Punch small holes near the spine or simply wrap the twine around the fold, tying it into a soft bow on the front.
Trim the twine ends so they look neat, then check that the bow sits nicely.
Finally, write your Valentine message inside, keeping the tone as simple and warm as the cover itself.
