Instructions
Trim patterned paper to 4 x 5-1/4 and cut it at a diagonal.
Turn it and then line that first diagonal cut on one of the lines
on your paper trimmer to ensure that the next cut is straight.
Next, adhere this to a 4 x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla and
stamp your greeting. Use a Small Heart Punch (or circle punch) and punch just a
bit off of each side of the card.
Punch out a Vanilla heart and poke a hole through it. Tie
Linen Thread around card threading it through the heart, then
tying it into a bow. This little touch really pulled the hearts
together and made it an important part of the card.

Versatile Design
This card design is a perfect starting point, it can be easily
tweaked to give it a new look every time. You could change
out the embossed background for patterned paper or use die
cuts in place of the wooden embellishment. The possibilities
are endless.

Stamp image from the Chalk Talk Stamp Set in black Stazon
Ink on White Cardstock.
Using the Chalk Talk Framelits, cut it out with the Big Shot.
Add a small piece of a doily to one edge of the cut out framelit
and tie a ribbon around the top.
Punch out the smallest Heart Framelit (any heart will do if you
don't have this one...or try any flower punch!), sponge the
edges and add a flower from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack
embellished with a rhinestone.
Cut layers as follows: Card Base: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. Black layer: 4-1/8 x 5-3/8. Melon Mambo: 4 x 5-1/4 and
embossed with the Chevron Embossing Folder.
Cut a piece of White Cardstock to 3-1/4 x 4-1/2, run the
bottom through an embossing folder and add Washi Tape to it.
Washi Tape is so thin it just tears and leaves a fun, ragged
edge.
Assemble all layers, then go make someone's day!
