Instructions (Print version)

1. Use a 6” x 10” piece of cardstock folded in half to make a 6” x 5” card base.
2. Round the lower corners with the Fiskars Round the Bend squeeze punch.
3. Cut a 5.75” x 4.75” piece of patterned paper. Round the lower corners with
the Fiskars Round the Bend squeeze punch.
4. Use the Fiskars Leave it to Weaver border punch on the upper edge of         
patterned paper. Weave ribbon through the holes, and tie in a bow.
5. Punch three squares out of cardstock using the Fiskars XL Block Party squeeze punch. Adhere on a diagonal across the center of the card. For added dimension, use foam adhesive to adhere the center square.
6. Punch a heart from cardstock. Adhere to center square using foam
adhesive.
7. Add a brad to the corner of each outside square. Add an “i” and “u” letter
sticker to the outside squares.
