If you are lost, you must quiet your mind, and 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:
- Cut basic card pieces and layered pieces and assemble. Lori Whitlock has a great video here: http://youtu.be/KaDIpjGL4zk
- Create a sleeve – 1.5×10″ and secure at the back of the card.
- 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.

- 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.
