Follow Your Heart

If you are lost, you must quiet your mind, and follow your heart.

Follow Your Heart

This card style is called a Stretch Card. I added a decorative band, because I plan on placing a gift card inside and I want it to stay hidden until the right time.

I used Lori Whitlock’s Reflections Papers from Echo Park, and some Kraft Paper from Close To My Heart.

Supplies for Follow Your Heart Card:

  • buttons: Nautical Value Pack 
  • paper: Lori Whitlock’s Reflections (Echo Park), Kraft (Close To My Heart)
  • stamps – Unity
  • ink – Versamark Gold Dazzle, Rhubarb Stalk Memento and Tuxedo Black Memento (Tsukineko), clear embossing powder
  • embellishments: ribbon (Bo Bunny), bling (Want2Scrap), twine (My Mind’s Eye), corrugated tag (Close To My Heart)
  • adhesive: Scor-Tape, Adtech Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks, Dimensional Foam Tape, Glue Dots
  • other: Heat Embossing Tool, Corner Rounder, Silhouette Cameo, Scissors (Westcott)

Instructions:

  1. Cut basic card pieces and layered pieces and assemble. Lori Whitlock has a great video here: http://youtu.be/KaDIpjGL4zk
  2. Create a sleeve – 1.5×10″ and secure at the back of the card.
  3. Stamp heart on Kraft paper with Versamark Gold Dazzle Ink and sprinkle with clear embossing powder – heat to melt. Dab Rhubarb Stalk Memento Ink on heart and cut out. Add a rhinestone to the center with a Glue Dot.
  4. Stamp sentiment with Tuxedo Black Memento. Round Corners.
  5. Tie ribbon to Corrugated Tag. Tie twine through a button. Hot glue Nautical Buttons to the tag. Adhere tag to band with Dimensional Foam Tape.
  6. Add heart and sentiment to band with Scor-Tape.
  7. Slide band onto card.
