instructions

1. Hanging Window card - 1 Take a red card,19cm x 14cm, score and fold the half down the centre. Trim aperture from the centre. Take a piece of fancy hearts paper, 12cm x 9cm, and fold in half. Make an additional 1.5cm vertical tab at each end and secure to the back of the aperture using double-sided tape.
   
   2 Punch a large scalloped-edged circle from white card and cut several circles from pink, red, white and lime with the circle cutter. Matt and layer circles using 3-D foam pads and punch a tiny hole in the top of the layered piece.
   
   3 Stamp flowers onto the white heart using red ink then clear emboss. Pull narrow white ribbon through the hearts and fix to the green circle with 3-D foam pads. Punch a tiny hole centrally above the aperture and attach the layered section using the red ribbon.
   
   4 Trim two narrow strips of fancy hearts paper and stick to each outer edge of the card. Trim two more narrow strips from lime card using the decorative-edged scissors, on one side only, and glue to card. Finally, hot-fix a silver crystal to the red heart.
