Today's card was made using Crystal Clear Cardstock from Flourishes. I have always loved this type of card, but never really made one, so this was a first for me, and I really learned a lot. The most important thing I had to remember is what you see from the front can also be seen from the back.
Using Blush Blossom cardstock, I stamped and embossed two hearts and cut them out, sponge. Take one of the embossed hearts, trace around it (twice) again using blush blossom cardstock, and cut them out (not embossed). Attach one of the embossed heart to the card front, and the other embossed heart to the card back. Do the same on the inside of the card with the plain hearts. All four hearts should line up so when you look at the front of the card, it looks like one heart. By doing this, you are hiding the tape that adherer’s all hearts to the Crystal Clear Cardstock. Stamp sentiment.
Along fold, punch holes about an inch apart, add lace starting from the bottom, and tie your bow.
