Instructions
STEP 1:
Cover the frame’s mat with glitter paper and add a small pattern paper border on it. Place punched photocorners on the mat
STEP 2:
Create a tic-tac-toe grid and stitch it with red embroidery floss. Mark you lines with a ruler and then run your Cutter Bug along the lines. The Cutter Bug will keep your stitches even and make small holes for your needle.
STEP 3:
Cover 9 office tags with paper from an old book. Add gems to the holes in the office tags and sticky fabric border pieces to each tag. Adhere to the stitched grid.
STEP 4:
Embellish each section with what you love. Try to use what you have in your stash, unless you are creating one just like mine.
STEP 5:
• Felted Heart: cut a heart using the heart punch pattern from an old wool sweater that has been washed and dried. Needle felt polka dots with ivory roving.
• Glitter Heart: Punch a cardstock heart and glitter it with red tinsel. Add a game piece spinner attached with a brad.
• Stamped Heart: Stamp and heat emboss the wings gold. Stamp and heat emboss the heart with the ring around it. Punch out the ring and stamp an additional heart in glue. Add red microbeads to the heart and trim it out. Place red rhinestones around the ring.
• Photo Heart: Punch a photo out using the heart shaped punch. Punch a red piece of cardstock and add a doodle line around it with a black pin. Place a bow on the photos.
• Button Heart: Tie red embroidery floss in buttons and adhere to a punched heart shape.
• Punched Heart: Punch out 3 hearts. Fold each of them in half. Adhere half of the heart to the next half of the other heart to create a dimensional heart. Punch a min heart out of the red glitter paper.
• Word Heart: Cover a punched out heart with word strips. Add a black and white button.
• Ribbon Heart: Cover a punched out heart with scraps of ribbon. Place lace around the edge of the heart or add some cording. Place a red gem heart in the ribbon heart’s center.
