Instructions (Print version)

1. 1. Cut Heidi Grace Cherrywood Lane cardstock to 4 ¼ x 5 1/4. Fold in half. Cut a piece of coordinating cardstock 4x5 and place on top of base.
3. 2. Punch out 5 hearts using the Large That’s Amore Squeeze Punch in coordinating cardstock. Line up hearts along edge of ruler or along line on cutting mat. Add a bit of tape to the top part of each heart & attach to the other. These hearts make your "scalloped" edge.
5. 3. Glue hearts down along the folded edge of card leaving a bit of the heart bottom to hang over the fold, trim off excess heart tips.
7. 4. Take 1 ½ x 5.5 strip of cardstock and punch holes using the Leave it to Weaver Border Punch. Take a strip of cardstock and slide through the holes. I’ve also added a second strip of coordinating cardstock and woven it through also.
9. 5. Take the 1 ½ x 5.5 strip & lay it on top of the hearts as close to the tips as you can. Tape down & then crease it so it folds over the back of the card.
11. 6. Stamp the Heidi Grace bird stamp & Happy Day sentiment onto white cardstock using the Fiskars Stamp Press. Punch out the bird stamp using the Fiskars X-Large Round & Round Squeeze Punch. Ink edges. Matt the bird on brown and then again on pink using a scallop punch. Trim the sentiment to 1x1 ½, ink edges, mat on brown and then on pink.
13. 7. Use pop dots to mount the bird image & sentiment to the card.
15. 8. Layer the Heidi Grace Cherrywood Lane Glitter Flowers – I used a small and a large and added a brad to the center.
17. 9. Finish the inside of the card as desired.
