Directions

Insert fuschia patterned paper into paper trimmer. Cut to measure 6" x 3". Adhere this piece to a large white piece of cardstock using photo stickers. Tear white cardstock around edges of fuschia cardstock, leaving approximately º" border of white.

Using hand punch, punch once in each corner of fuschia cardstock. Insert eyelet into hole. Flip this piece over face-down onto craft mat. Insert eyelet tool into backside of eyelet. Gently tap 2 - 3 times, or until backside of eyelet begins to curl over. Set eyelet tool aside. Tap 1-2 more times directly onto eyelet with hammer to finish. Repeat for remaining 3 eyelets.

Lay white cardstock onto craft mat. Lay lettering stencil onto cardstock. Cut all letters in word "LOVE".

Apply pink chalk to entire letter. Apply fuchsia chalk onto left half of each letter. Draw squiggly line down centers of all letters using glitter gel pen.

Using photo stickers, adhere all letters to white handmade paper, overlapping letters. Tear white handmade paper around word, leaving approximately a º" fringy border. Adhere word to center of fuschia piece. Adhere these layers to upper left corner of background piece.

Lay lettering stencil onto ShapeBoss tray. Insert white cardstock between stencils, then stencil heart shape 4 times onto piece of paper, making sure to leave plenty of space between each embossed shape. After each shape has been embossed, tear a square shape around each heart to create squares that measure approximately 2" square.

Remove one stencil from ShapeBoss and place over embossed heart shapes. Use as a stencil for chalking onto embossed shapes. Chalk 2 pieces with fuschia chalk, the other two with pink. Remove stencil and chalk around torn edges.

Adhere button to center of heart shape using craft glue. Set aside to dry.

Cut a piece of twistel to measure 13". Spread apart so it lays flat. Apply a thin layer of craft glue to backside of this piece and adhere to right side of background paper approximately 2" from right edge of paper.

Using pop dots, adhere heart squares over twistel and press firmly to secure.

Trim photos to desired size. Mount one photo onto fuschia paper using photo stickers, the other photo onto pink paper. Insert layers into paper trimmer, and trim cardstock matting away to leave approximately a 1/8" border around each photo.
