Gifts valentines: Make Sewn Valentines

I made these Valentines to send in our Valentine card swap

1. First I cut some scrapbooking card stock to be the size of the envelopes I already had on hand.
   
2. Then I made a heart template with some of the card stock scraps. I folded the paper in half, drew half of a heart, cut it out, and unfolded it to reveal a perfectly symmetrical heart. You know, that old trick.
   
3. I bought felt in red, dark pink, light pink, and cream. Since I was making 3 cards (one for each of my swap partners), I cut three hearts from each color. Since each heart had to be slightly smaller than the one underneath it, I trimmed my template down with each color.
   They look so pretty all stacked up!
   
4. I took one heart of each color and arranged them on top of each other and placed them on the front of the card.
   
   
5. And then I stitched right down the center of the hearts.
   
   
   The hearts are even a little bit 3-D, which is my favorite part.
