Begin by folding your base cardstock into a compact square, leaving flaps that open out into a full grid shape.
Cut several tiny squares and rectangles from pink, blue, and white paper, keeping the sizes similar so everything fits neatly.
Add mini messages, doodles, and little hearts on each piece, you can mix short phrases like “be mine,” xoxo,” sweetheart, or inside jokes you share.
Glue each decorated piece onto the grid, arranging colors in a balanced way so it looks cute when fully opened.
Attach a small pull-tab at the bottom flap and write a final note such as “Happy ever after.”
