Whisper White Card Front and Insert - 5 1/4 x 4

Punch out 2 or three mini hearts in the same pattern as the strip of paper you are using for the lower border.

Remove dies from previous steps and separate scalloped figures. Then position smallest scalloped heart die within the stitched heart. Run through die cutting machine. Remove die and scalloped heart.
Stamp greeting on bottom left of the Whisper White panel. Use Stampin' Pierce Mat if it is a photopolymer stamp.
Adhere the Valentine patterned paper to the front of the base card with Multi-purpose liquid glue.
Glue the foiled Valentine paper strip at the bottom of the paper centering the strip so that there will be a 1/8" margin at the bottom and sides.
Place Tear n' Tape around border of all sides of window sheet. Remove backing and adhere to back of Whisper White panel.
Surround the heart "windows" on the window sheet with strips of foam adhesive. Stack sequins in a pile in the center where each heart will be.
Remove backing from foam strips and carefully place it over the patterned paper, aligning it so that the edges are within a 1/8" margin and the scalloped bottom edge reveals the foiled paper. Press around the hearts so the foam strips stick and keep the sequins from escaping.
Adhere mini punched out hearts to card front with mini dimensionals. Glue on 2 or 3 gems.
Decorate insert and envelop with several heart stamps using Flirty Flamingo and Real Red ink. Glue the insert inside the card.
