How to make:
1) Using
the 12x12 Love Story paper pad, take a sheet of paper and draw half a heart
down the page and cut it out.
2) Using
a ruler, measure 1cm in from the straight edge of the heart and score a line
with a pair of scissors and fold to create a flap.
3) Use
double sided tape to secure the flap to the left edge of another Love Story 12x12
sheet.
4) Cut
out a smaller heart shape from the 12x12 Love Story paper pad, large enough for
a photo, and using a glue stick, position the paper heart and adhere to the
centre of the heart flap.
5) Mat
your photo onto the patterned heart shape.
6) Using
the buckles set, cut out a few borders and decorate the left edge of the heart flap.
7) Cut
out a mixture of hearts using the Willow die set and
decorate with red inked edges , glue along the curved side of the heart
flap.
8) Glue
a resin flower to the centre of the heart flap to begin making a clasp. On the
right of this resin flower, stick a wooden button heart on the square card. Add
another resin flower on top of this to give the card dimension. Tie together with a small piece of twine to
connect the half heart shape and card.
9) Open
up the flap and cut a piece of card about 7x4 cm to make a pocket. Cut out more
decorative toppers from the Love Story pad and layer on to the pocket to add a
scrapbook effect. Glue the left, right and bottom edge of the pocket and ensure
to leave the top edge un-glued.
10)
Cut out a tag from the 12x12 Love Story pad and
write a message on the back, insert into the pocket before closing the flap.
Tip: Add a few
memories such as small photos, cinema/ travelling tickets to the pocket as
memorabilia
11)
Cut a strip of paper 15.5x6cm and on one end, cut
a fishtale, align the straight edge to the bottom left corner of the page and
using a glue stick, adhere the paper onto the card. Cut out a few more of the
tags from the 12x12 sheet and layer them together to gain the collage effect.
12)
Finish the page by cutting out a title using the
varsity die set on craft foam. Use craft glue to stick the title to the layered
tags.
