For Your Valentine’s!
Step 1
Cut the 8 1/2" x
11" ivory cardstock and AG1080 to 10" x
7".

fold in half
to make a 5" x 7" card.

Cut a diamond shape along the lines
and circles from
the AG1078 piece set aside from pocket page.
Center and adhere to card with pop
dots. Add embroidered
tag to center with
pop dots. [I choose to add the embroidered
tag last. Whichever is fine.]
Step 4
Cut four small sections of lines
from the scraps of AG1078.
Adhere under each circle of the diamond,
extending out
to the edges
of the card.
Trim ends to

pop dots.]
