Layered Heart Card Tutorial

Friday, March 27th, 2009

You asked for it, you got it!  Remember this card from a week or so ago?

I took a moment out of my craziness to write out the instructions and take some pictures. Follow along me, its really not as hard as it looks.

On the original card, which was a Make and Take at CHA Winter 2008, we teamed up with Kaleidoscope Collections, they provided the kaleidoscope pattern paper for the project.

For this example I grabbed these supplies:

Fancy Pants patterned paper, 5 1/4 x 5 1/4″  First Date (pink) and 5×5″ Head Over Heels (striped)
Worldwin 5 1/2 x 11″ Light Hawaiian Blue Colormates cardstock and 5×5 Silver Mirro Card cardstock (I love this stuff!)
Krylon Silver Leafing pen
S4-137 Classic Scalloped Heart Die Template (just the largest one)
S4-136 Classic Heart Die Templates

Fold the Light Hawaiian Blue (blue) cardstock in half.  Run the Krylon Marker along the edges of the card.  Do this also on the First Date (pink) cardstock.  Allow to dry.

Cut/emboss the Silver Mirro Card with the largest S4-137 Classic Scalloped Heart.

Adhere the pink paper to the blue card, edges only, no adhesive in the center.  Center and tape (use low tack tape, or stick it to your clothes to make it less tacky) the S4-137 Scalloped Heart to the center of the card, with the cut side facing the pink paper.

Now invert the fold in the card, so that the pink paper and die are on the inside of the card.  Slide the spacer plate inside of the card, and position the card so the cut edge of the die is facing up and will cut into a Master Mat, not the spacer plate.

Feed into the Wizard.  Remove the spacer plate from the sandwich and place the tan embossing mat over the project.  Feed in to the Wizard again to emboss. (Remember when we did this here?) Now you have cut a scalloped heart shaped hole in the front of the card!

Grab your striped paper, blue scalloped heart die cut and S4-136 Classic Heart Die Templates.  Pick every other die, starting with the smallest die template, and arrange on the striped paper, then tape with cut side down.  Using the other 2 die templates, tape them on the blue scalloped die cut.  Cut/emboss each set.  Edge each die cut with the silver Krylon pen.  Assemble as shown, stacked to the center of each heart.

Fold the card so the pink paper is on the outside front, adhere the silver scalloped heart from the outside so it sits perfectly inside the hole in the front. Adhere stack of hearts onto the silver heart.

See, you just made this super cool card with a few supplies and only 4 cut/emboss runs!

I’d love to see your creations, leave a link to your card in the comments!
