Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Balmy Blue cardstock in half at the score line to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the four 1-3/4″ square pieces of Basic White cardstock onto the front of the card, creating a grid pattern. (See the sample for placement.)
- Stamp the sentiment below the bottom right square using Balmy Blue ink.
- Run the 2″ square of Full of Life Paper through the Cut & Emboss Machine using small bold heart die from the Hearts of Elegance Bundle Dies. Adhere to the bottom left grid using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Run the 2″ square of Balmy Blue cardstock through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the “leaf pattern” heart die from the Hearts of Elegance Bundle Dies. Adhere to the upper right grid using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Using the 2″ x 4″ piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp the bold floral heart stamp onto one side of the cardstock using Balmy Blue ink. Die cut the heart using the same die as in Step #5; adhere to the lower right grid using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
