Cut card stock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Real Red Card Stock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Whisper White Card Stock
- 3" x 4" from red with various words for love in white design of paper from Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack, try to orient the paper so the words will be horizontal on the strip
- 2-1/2" square of Red Glimmer Paper
- 2-1/2" square of Whisper White Card Stock
- 2" square of Whisper White Card Stock
Without adhering, place the designer paper on the bottom of the large rectangle of white card stock. Mount one of the larger sentiments from the Sealed with Love Photopolymer Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the card stock over the designer paper.
When you are happy with your stamping, adhere the designer paper to the bottom of the stamped white rectangle.
Cut a 5" piece of the white ribbon from the Succulent Garden 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack. Place the ribbon over the seam between the designer paper and the card stock. Flip the card stock over and secure the ribbon to the back using small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive placed across the ends. Do NOT stick the ribbon down to the front of the card or you will not be able to tie on the heart medallion.
Adhere the designer paper/card stock layer with the ribbon attached to it to the Real Red card.
Pick out the Layering Circles Framelit that will cut out a scalloped circle that is 2-1/4" in diameter. Place the glimmer paper square upside down on a Cutting Pad on the Big Shot Platform on your Big Shot. To help keep the cutting edge of the framelit sharp, it helps to place the glimmer paper upside down when you can. Place the scalloped circle framelit on top with another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Pick out the Sweet & Sassy Framelit that will cut out a straight sided heart that is 1-3/8" x 1-1/2". Place the scalloped glimmer paper circle you just cut out upside down on top of a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on your Big Shot. To help keep the cutting edge of the framelit sharp, it helps to place the glimmer paper upside down when you can. Place the straight sided heart framelit on top in the middle of the circle. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Keep the cutout heart for use on another project.
Mount the larger floral heart image from the Sealed with Love Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the larger white square. Leave the stamp mounted on the block as you are going to use it again.
Choose the smooth circle framelit from the Layering Circles Framelits that cuts out a circle that is 1-15/16" in diameter. Place the white square with the heart stamped on it on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Center the smooth circle framelit over the heart image. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Put small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the glimmer paper scalloped circle to outline the heart in the center. Peel off the protective backing. Adhere the glimmer paper scalloped circle over the white circle so the stamped heart image is centered in the heart cut out. Flip the scallop circle over and rub the Embossing Buddy over any exposed Tear & Tape Adhesive so it will no longer be sticky. Trim off any excess white card stock if needed.
Use the 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch to punch a hole in the top of the glimmer paper scalloped circle.
Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the red ribbon from the Sending Love Ribbon Combo Pack. Thread it through the hole in the top of the glimmer paper scalloped circle. Slide one end of the ribbon under the white ribbon attached to your card front. Make sure the top of the glimmer paper scalloped circle is on top of the white ribbon. Tie a double knot in the ribbon and trim off excess.
Stamp the larger floral heart image again in Real Red Ink onto the smaller square of white card stock.
Pick out the divided heart cut out from the Love Notes Framelits. Place the stamped heart image on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the heart framelit over it. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot. Remove with the Die Brush if needed.
Fold the heart down the center on the score lines. Add a thin line of Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the center and adhere to the center of the stamped heart on the medallion. Fluff the edges.
