Card – Christmas Heart…

Are there many of you intending to make all your Christmas cards?  I have that intention every year but never quite make it.  I might manage a few though…

Here is one I made which uses minimal cost items – corrugated card which you can get from packaging you may receive, sheet music which can be bought very cheaply from a second hand shop, together with some scraps of patterned paper and a bit of ribbon…..add a glittery chipboard heart and there you have it!

Products Used:

• Fiskars Border Punch – Scalloped Lace
• Fiskars Trimmer
• Fiskars Scissors
• Scraps of paper
• Sheet music
• Corrugated card
• Ribbon
• Chipboard
• Glitter
• Sentiment

How to:

• Using your trimmer, trim some music paper to fit 2/3rds of your card blank.  Trim patterned paper to fit the rest of the card.
• Using the Border Punch create a border using some scrap paper.
• Tear some corrugated card very roughly to fit across your card.
• Ink all the paper with black ink.
• Tie the ribbon around the corrugated card and tie into a bow.
• Assemble onto your card blank and then attach.  I did a double wobbly stitch all the way around.
• Glitter a chipboard heart and attach to the design using silicone glue.  This holds better onto corrugated card than pads or tape would do.
• Add your sentiment.
