2. Import the files into your Cricut maker or cutter of choice. Make sure you cut at least 1 background, 1 top lip, 1 bottom lip and 1 message strip for each finished “lip” that you’d like. Cut these out of your paper of choice.
*tip: it is best to cut the message strip out of a thinner paper than the lips. This will make sure that it isn’t too bulky when folded up. I used cardstock for the lips and a thinner cardstock for the message strip

3. Write your love note, message or Valentine wish on your message strips and fold them up. Fold the shorter strip in 1/2 and the longer strip in 1/3’s. Just be sure they fit inside the lips without touching the outer edges of the background lip.

4. Using your sewing machine (or a thin bead of glue), stitch (or glue) the bottom lip in place. Be sure your “message” is secure inside the lips without touching the outer edge. Work your way around the outer edge of the lips going around the bottom lip and then adding the top lip. You will keep the inner most “pursed” part of the lips free (without glue) for the messages to be revealed + pulled through.

5. Using hot glue, attach toothpicks to the backside of each finished lip. Allow to dry and then put into your breakfast, favorite dessert, kids’ lunchbox, or Valentine’s day dinner 🙂 When it’s time to open, just simply tear open starting at the “pursed” part of the front top lip and tear off to reveal the message, love note or wish 🙂
