Valentine Hearts
With Valentine's Day just a month away, try your hand at making these lovely heart gift cards for a loved one.

I made a card in neutral tones. After layering several coordinating papers, I  glued snippets of ecru lace and paper embellishments for a horizontal  card.

You will need:

Embroidery floss
D crochet hook

The hearts can be made larger by using heavier yarn and a bigger hook in whatever colour you want.

Here's how:

All stitches worked into the first chain.
Ch 4. Work 3 tr (triple crochet) into first ch, 3 dc, ch 1, 1 tr, ch 1, 3 dc, 3 tr. Ch 3, sl st into centre and fasten off.
