How to make

Step 1

Using a pencil and ruler, mark a 1.5cm border around all four edges of the card. Open out the card blank and place on top of a craft mat, use a metal ruler and craft knife to remove the central square.

Step 2

Punch a selection of hearts from pink and gold glitter cardstock.

Step 3

Apply a layer of foam tape around each of the card's four sides, then secure three strands of invisible thread running from the top to the bottom of the card.

Step 4

Working from left to right, secure a selection of hearts in the following sequence: 3, 2, 3. To ensure the hearts are secure, use double-sided tape to add a duplicate shape on the back of each.

Step 5

Apply another layer of foam tape around each of the card's edges, and add anther three strands of invisible thread, adding hearts in the same manner as step four.

Step 6

Secure one final layer of foam tape, then add a 6″ square frame on top with a 1cm border; make sure to line up the edges as it's applied.

Step 7

To complete the design add a layer of tracing paper on the inside of the card using the frame to disguise the double-sided tape.
