A couple of cards


Some months back Jill from Designing Divas presented a project to make a card that has a heart on the front and when the card is untied you view the message on the inside.  I ran across the one I made at club and decided to make more of them.  You start with a 5-1/2 inch by 12 inch card; score at 2 inches and four inches from each side.  Cut a half heart shape on each of the two outside 2-inch sections.  Valley fold the card at the 2 inch and 4 inch score lines.  Fold the card closed so the two heart halves come together to stamp the background.   Be sure to mask off the areas where you do not want the stamp image to touch.    There is a slit on each of the heart halves to insert  the ribbon to wrap around the back and tie in front.  Finish the card as desired.  I used two sided decorative cardstock to make my cards and glued an extra 4 by 5-1/2 inch card on the very back for more stability.
