I'm in love with the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper that's available as one of your FREE choices in the Sale-A-Bration brochure.

First I cut a piece of DSP 6 x 6 and die cut the heart.

After fiddling around with my folds for a little while – I came up with the perfect dimensions. Place your heart on the Simply Scored tool and score at 1-3/8 & 4-1/8.

Fold in the sides, turn your heart as shown below and score again at 1-3/4 while the sides are folded in. Fold up the bottom flap and secure with a brad or adhesive.

The bow that I made is pretty self explanatory, but I decided to make a little template so it would be easier for my customers to make.

I made a template that's 2-1/2" wide by 2" tall. I punched a 1/2" hole in the middle and then cut from the hole to the bottom of the template. This made an area big enough to handle the brad I used to hold my ribbon together. I wrapped both colors of ribbon around the template 3-4 times.

Insert the brad around all the layers in the middle.

And just slide it off the bottom of the template. I then inserted my brad through the mini envelope and the Calypso Coral cardstock layer on the front of my card.
