Let the new Heart Wire be more than "just" a Valentine design – it's perfect for friendship cards too! Hi, Jean Okimoto here, sharing another idea featuring this great new die – and a chance for you to win just for commenting on this post.
Cut Heart Wire from glittered pink craft foam – leave it in the die.
Wondering why the new Magnificient Mum Floral Blooms are shown here? Has she gone completely over the edge? Not yet - but I thought it was a great way to diecut a bunch of tiny random double-stick shapes from Scor-Tape to attach the Heart Wire. Save the adhesive-covered mum outlines too – we'll use them later. We save everything, don't we?
The Memory Box collection of dies has many, many designs that you can use to diecut adhesive pieces for your projects. I chose the mums here because I wanted to use the outlines for another project.
Attach the sticky pieces to the hearts – and the ends.
Use the 3-¾" x 5" Rectangle Basics die to cut white cardstock. This is another great new set of 16 dies designed to create the perfect rectangles for layering on A-2 and other cards. Stamp the greeting – from the new So Many Things to Love set – with Imagine Crafts Celestial Copper Delicata. Heat-set the ink. Use a piercing tool to lightly press the adhesive-covered hearts (liners removed!) onto the rectangle. Remove the die and press the hearts firmly onto the background.
Wrap the two ends loosely around the edges like a heart-hug. Attach the rectangle to a side-folded A-2 card of textured white cardstock. Add tiny clear iridescent sequins.
