Crazy "Fur" You Valentine's Day Cards

Yes, I really love word puns for Valentine's day. For, Forever, Very - they all sound like "fur" to me and of course, that means pink fur at this time of year.

Materials:

• Fake fur- I bought mine at Michael's (near the felt sheets); not all stores have pink.
• White card stock – trimmed into a folded 5.5” by 4.25”card (or buy blank cards)
• Patterned card stock paper- trimmed to the size of the card front 5.5” by 4.25”
• Scrap paper trimmed to the size of the card front 5.5” by 4.25”
• Double sided tape
• Black sharpie pen
• Scissors
• Printed message

The edge of the fake fur is kind of ragged, so I devised a way to make a little "frame" and hide it (otherwise you could just glue it on).
 

Fold the trimmed paper scrap in half lengthwise and draw half a heart in the middle. 

Cut the heart shape out and open up the paper.
 

Fold the patterned paper in half-- really just pinch the middle to find the center.
 

Lay the “template” onto the back of the patterned paper. 

Line the middle of the papers together and then trace the heart shape.
 

You'll want the double-sided tape to lay at the edge of the heart shape when it’s cut out. 

First, cover the drawn heart shape with double side tape then pinch (fold) the center (sticky  sides out) and cut the inside shape out from the patterned paper.



Save the cut out heart for another card. 

Trace the heart template with a sharpie onto the back of the fake fur.
 
Cut the fake fur with a 1/8th inch boarder (i.e. slightly larger).

Press the fake fur heart, right side down, onto the back of the patterned paper, covering the heart hole and sticking to the double-sided tape.
Add more double-sided tape to the front of the blank card along the top, bottom and sides.

Flip the patterned paper (with the fake fur attached to the back) over and add it to the card- carefully line up the edges.
Trim the card so it’s tidy and straight.

Add the message.

You could even go as far as to make it into a "miss you card."
