Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Lovely Lipstick Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock
- 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" of diagonal rows of red dotted lines and red arrows on white background pattern from All My Love Designer Series Paper
- 1-1/4" x 2-1/4" from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" from Lovely Lipstick Cardstock
- 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock
- 3 squares each 1-1/2" square from Whisper White Cardstock
Mount the tiny, solid heart image from the Meant To Be Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad and stamp it randomly in the upper right and lower left corners of the front of the Lovely Lipstick card. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Make sure you have Grid Paper under the card so that you protect your work surface. Let some of the hearts go over the edges. Change the orientation of the stamp a bit each time.
Adhere the large rectangle of Flirty Flamingo to the center of the front of the card at an angle.
Adhere the rectangle of All My Love Designer Paper to the center of the front of the card at an opposite angle from the Flirty Flamingo layer.
Pick out the open, straight-edged heart framelit that cuts out a heart that is 7/8" wide from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. Place the 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" Flirty Flamingo rectangle on the Cutting Pad on the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the heart framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Keep the framelit out for the next step.
Place the 1-1/4" x 1-1/2" Lovely Lipstick rectangle on the Cutting Pad on the Platform on the Big Shot. Place the open, 7/8" wide heart framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the small, striped heart image from the Meant To Be Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Flirty Flamingo Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of one of the white squares. Clean the stamp with the Simply Shammy or Stampin' Mist and Stampin' Scrub, but leave it on the block.
Re-ink the small, striped heart stamp with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of one of the other white squares. Re-ink the stamp and stamp it again in the center of the final white square.
Pick out the small, open, scallop-edged heart framelit that cuts out a heart that is 1" wide from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. Place the stamped Flirty Flamingo striped heart on the Cutting Pad on the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the heart framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped heart. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Repeat with the other two striped hearts.
Mount either the "You Make Me Happy" or "I Love Our Life Together" sentiment from the Meant To Be Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Lovely Lipstick Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the Flirty Flamingo strip.
Pick out the scallop-ended ticket framelit from the Stitched Labels Framelits. Place the stamped sentiment on the Cutting Pad on the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the ticket framelit on top so it is centered over the sentiment. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the solid, Flirty Flamingo heart and one of the striped Lovely Lipstick hearts to the front of the card so they overlap each other a bit and the Flirty Flamingo heart overlaps the tops of the designer paper and Flirty Flamingo layers.
Adhere the two remaining striped hearts to the front of the card so they overlap each other a bit and the Lovely Lipstick striped heart overlaps the bottom left edge of the designer paper layer.
Cut a 4" piece of the Lovely Lipstick 1/2" ribbon from the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack so that both ends have sharp angles.
Lay the ribbon across the front of the card horizontally so it is about 1/8" below the tip of the Lovely Lipstick striped heart at the top of the card.
Put a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive horizontally across the back of the sentiment ticket cut out. Remove the protective backing. Adhere the sentiment ticket cut out to the ribbon on the front of the card so the right edge of the ticket is about 1" in from the right side of the card.
Remove the ticket cut out with ribbon attached from the front of the card. Lay it on your work surface upside down. Put Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the ticket cut out so they overlap the edges of the ribbon onto the cardstock. Remove the protective backings and adhere the ticket cut out with ribbon attached to the front of the card where you had it earlier.
Put a Mini Stampin' Dimensional at the bottom of the solid Lovely Lipstick heart and SNAIL across the top of the heart on the back side of the heart. Remove the protective backing from the Mini Stampin' Dimensional. Adhere the heart to the front of the card at a slight angle so it overlaps the bottom left side of the ticket cut out.
