Vintage Valentine

Gather your supplies:
4"x4" cardstock - atleast 100lb 
2 vintage handkerchiefs - preferably with embroidery
Envelope Template
1 sheet, 8.5"x11 velum paper
matte medium
sponge brush
corner rounder
hot glue gun
hot Iron
And as usual - "the basics" (pencil, ruler, scissors, cutting matte)

Set up your clean workspace and iron your handkerchiefs. Have your cardstock cut into a 4"x4" square and determine what pattern from your handkerchief you want to use. 

Step 1 Layout

Cut out section of handkerchief after laying over cardstock and determining best use of design. Be sure to leave a1/2" or so of extra fabric.

This is a wonderful idea and I can't wait to do it tomorrow. One hint - if you can't find handkerchiefs with a design you like, try infants clothing. I went to four stores with no luck, then checked out the infants section at Goodwill. Three embroidered flowers in the first rack. $1.00 and I'm set.

Very sweet!
I might suggest the picture in step 1 or the very last picture in step 9 as your intro photo, as they are the most descriptive and eye-catching.
