What you need to make this card:

1. 7″x5″ White Card Blank
2. Long Reach Punch – Ribbon
3. 15mm Wide Red Organza Ribbon
4. Gold Nesting Hearts Die-Cut Embellishments
5. Just For You Peel Off Sheet – Gold
6. Double Sided Sticky Tape
7. Sticky Foam Pads
8. Craft Glue
9. Scissors


Directions to make this card:

Use the long reach ribbon punch to punch 7 sets of slots along the left hand side of the card blank. Only punch through the front side of the card. The slots have been punched about 1/2″ in from the fold edge of the card and start approximately 1/2″ up from the bottom of the card. The distance between each set of slots is 1″ measured from the centre of a set of slots to the centre of the next set of slots.

Next cut a 8.5″ (22cm) length of the red organza ribbon. Starting from the bottom of the card thread the ribbon in through the first slot and then in and out of all the punched slots. Pull the ribbon so you have even lengths left over at the top and bottom of the card. Fold the ribbon over the top and the bottom of the card and secure inside with double sided sticky tape.

Next cut  another length of the ribbon and use it to tie a ribbon bow. Trim the ends of the bow so they are even and then stick the bow on the top of the ribbon border using a 5mm sticky foam pad.

Select 3 of the die-cut nesting hearts and take the large outer heart and smaller inner heart for each one. Use craft glue or tiny sticky foam pads to stick the hearts diagonally down the card as shown in the picture with the small hearts inside the larger hearts.

Finish the card off with a Just For You peel off wording sticker in the top right hand corner and three mini peel off sticker hearts in the bottom left corner.
