Designer's Tip: Use the Flip Flop Fasteners as hinges for the accordion greeting inside tin.

Instructions

  1. Cut four 3 1/4”x3” pieces of pink/purple striped paper and 2 from raspberry cardstock. Alternate the pieces, 3 striped and 2 solid, and place fasteners on the backs of each piece to connect them in a row. Fold a pink dot ribbon length and glue the ends to the back of the top piece.
  2. Decorate each piece with die cuts and stickers, ending with the “With love, from” chipboard piece on the bottom. Knot ribbon lengths to decorate tags. Glue the bottom piece inside the tin. Accordion fold the pieces, ending with the striped piece on top. Glue a large die-cut butterfly inside the lid and close the lid.
  3. Adhere lengths of a sticker border around the outside bottom edge of the tin, making a break at the opening and the hinges at the back. Corner round the remaining striped piece and glue to the lip top. Place a large chipboard heart at the center and “Happy Valentine’s Day” sticker at the heart center. Top with a pink dot bow.
