These little envelopes to hold sweets (cookies and Ghirardelli chocolates) were very simple to make, a favorite way to wrap Valentines. Using vellum paper and embossing it with hearts, I used an old envelope (opened up) as a template to trace the shape and cut it out. A little glue, a few folds and an origami paper gift bow (tutorial here) was the last step.
