Here'a a quick tutorial to make
this paper craft - no adhesive needed!
Take a 5" x 8" double-sided piece of light weight
DSP and trace the shape of a heart at the top
Single-sided DSP works just fine, too.
(See sheet on left in photo)
Cut out the heart shape then
use a border punch along the
opposing 5" side
Fold up the border edge about 1/2" short
of the heart shape edge
and use a bone folder along the fold
At the folded edge, mark a point at 2.5"
Fold up each side at 45 degrees
at the 2.5" mark
Fold border punch edge down over flaps
and use bone folder on fold
Fill heart with the treats of your choice -
I used Ferrero Rocher chocolates
from Costco.
HINT: Make a template for your heart
shape to mass produce this craft
I also used a glue dot
to hold the treat in place.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Step 2: Set the eyelet. Don't worry about getting a smooshed look. Set it tightly to get a big hole. The smooshed look is not likely to be seen, especially with 2 ribbons.
Step 3: With your 1st ribbon (apricot for this card), wrap it around the edge of the card and tie it only once. Don't make a 2nd tie to secure it.
Step 4: Slip the 2nd ribbon (mustard on this card) underneath the apricot ribbon.
Step 5: Tie the mustard ribbon over the apricot ribbon. You will need to pull the ribbons to secure it. Go back and forth between the apricot and mustard ribbons as you tighten it to your satisfaction. Be careful not to pull so tight (like on this card) that it tears the card base.
Step 6: Finish your card! (Recipe below)
