This is an easy card to make. Emboss five hearts with gold detail powder. The envelope/card is an 8 1/2" square piece of cardstock. Pencil a dot in the center at 4 1/4" Fold each corner in to the center with the corner at the dot. I used the bone folder to crease the folds. Fold all four corners that way into the center. Put your glue or tape only on the left lower side of the embossed heart and attach to where you can barely see the point of the corner behind the center of the heart. Make sure to not put glue/tape on the heart where it will show on the backside of the envelope/card. Otherwise it will stick on the insert. Glue all four that way, so you can slide the unglued side over the glued part of the next heart. Glue one embossed heart on the on the insert. The card insert is 5 7/8" square. I have two versions of the insert in my gallery. This idea is not original to me. I love it though! Very simple card and pretty!

Very cool! I think I could figure it out, but I wouldn't mind some directions! Specifically, what is the finished size? How far in do you make your cuts?

This is a very simple card to make. Take an 8 1/2" square piece of cardstock. Pencil a dot in the center at 4 1/4". Fold each corner into the center at the dot. Crease folds with a bone folder. Emboss five hearts with gold detail embossing powder. Attach the hearts by gluing or taping on the lower left of each heart. Put the heart so that only the tip of the corner is showing behind the heart. Slide the glued side under the unglued part of the next heart. The insert is 5 7/8" square. I have two versions of that in my gallery. I used the other embossed heart (#5) inside on one of my inserts. Very pretty and super easy!
