Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
- card from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Real Red Cardstock
- 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"" of lines of tiny red and pink hearts on white background design from From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper, cut so the lines of hearts are vertical on the vertical rectangle
Adhere the piece of From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper to the Real Red rectangle and then to the front of the Flirty Flamingo card.
Cut a 5" piece of Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon and a 5" piece of Real Red 3/8" Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon so there are sharp angles on either end of both pieces of ribbon.
Lay the ribbon pieces at slight angles on the left side of the card front so the red ribbon overlaps the white ribbon. Use a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive to hold the ribbons in place.
Pick out a Flirty Flamingo doily from the Heart Doilies and put it on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the "From My Heart To Yours" sentiment from the Heartfelt Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Real Red Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the doily.
Put SNAIL on the back of the stamped doily and peel off the protective backing from the Tear & Tape strip on the card front. Adhere the doily to the card front at a slight angle so it is centered over the ribbon pieces near the top and covers the Tear & Tape strip.
Use the putty tip of the Take Your Pick to pick out a large red gem from the From My Heart Faceted Gems. Press the bottom of the gem to a Mini Glue Dot on the roll of glue dots. Then, adhere it to the front of the card so it overlaps the edge of the heart doily on the lower right side.
Use the putty tip of the Take Your Pick to pick out a large pink gem from the From My Heart Faceted Gems. Press the bottom of the gem to a Mini Glue Dot on the roll of glue dots. Then, adhere it to the front of the card in the lower left corner so it covers one of the small hearts on the designer paper.
Use the putty tip of the Take Your Pick to pick out a small or medium white gem from the From My Heart Faceted Gems. Press the bottom of the gem to a Mini Glue Dot on the roll of glue dots. Squish the sides of the glue dot in so they are not sticking out over the edges of the gem. Then, adhere the gem to the front of the card in the lower right corner so it covers one of the small hearts on the designer paper.
