First, cut a piece of plain white copy paper in half length wise, then into strips.
Write on each strip a reason what you love about your significant other.... I think handwriting is best here for the personal nature of it but you certainly could write it on a computer, print it out, then cut into strips after.... Fill up your strips, and roll each message up.
Print the Button Box template from Mirkwood Designs on the backside of a piece of double sided printed paper.
(here's the front side of the paper so you can see what it looks like...)
Cut out your template, score along the score lines. (**note: the print and score lines don't bother me because they are on the inside. If it is an issue for you, print the template onto a white piece of paper, and then use your print out as a template/guide over printed cardstock. You can trace with pencil or simply hold it on top of the paper as a cut guide.)
Tuck your rolled message into the base of your little box/envelope. DON'T adhere your edges. You want it to open up like a cute little packet of notes.
Use stickers to spell "I love..." and adhere to the top flap:
Color your Rubber Romance Image - this is "You Shouldn't Have". 
Mat your stamped image, and use same stickers to spell a title. Tie the whole thing with a bow tied string.
On Valentine's Day, it's just a matter of a pull, and all these cute little notes roll out with reasons why you love your special someone...
Enjoy.
