Designer's Tip: Another glittery heart—this one created with adhesive glitter sheets! Simply remove the backing paper from the glitter sheet, then place it on paper and press to adhere. Run the paper through the die cutter to cut out the heart. Use the additional dies to die cut solid roses and daisies from paper, then glue them behind the flowers in the heart.

Instructions:

1. For the card front: Turn the card with the fold at the top. Cut 6⅜"x4⅞" Little Things aqua words paper and glue it centered on the front. Cut 2"x4⅞" Little Things pink paper and mat the long edges on white cardstock with 1/16" borders.
2. Wrap the white ribbon over the pink paper, ⅜" from the right edge, and glue the ends to the back. Wrap a 6" green ribbon just left of the white ribbon and glue the ends to the back. Glue the pink paper to the words paper, ½" from the right edge.
3. Cut 4¼"x4" each of Little Things navy pindot paper and blue glitter sheet. Remove the backing and place the glitter sheet on the pindot paper, then die cut the heart from it. Die cut two solid roses from Little Things pink paper and two daisies from teal checks paper. Glue the solid flowers behind the matching open flowers in the heart.
4. Glue the heart die-cut to Little Things tan paper, then trim it to 4⅛"x3⅞". Mat on pink cardstock with 1/16" borders, then on navy cardstock with ⅛" borders. Stamp “with love” in the lower left corner, then glue the panel to the front ½" from the left edge, slipping it under the green ribbon.
5. Make a 4-loop green ribbon bow and tie the center with thread. Wrap the prongs of a ¾" tan Embellie™ over the bow center, then glue the bow to the first ribbon as shown.
6. Place butterfly Dazzles™ on the front as shown. Place jewel Dazzles™ on the heart flowers and glue the jewel Dazzles™ to the butterfly bodies (jewel Dazzles™ won’t stick to the pearl finish of the butterflies and need to be glued in place).
7. For the inside: Cut 6¼"x4½" Little Things teal checks paper and glue it centered on the inside. Cut 4¼"x4" each of Little Things pink paper and pink glitter sheet. Remove the backing and place the glitter sheet on the paper, then die cut the heart from it.
8. Die cut two solid roses from Little Things pink paper and two daisies from teal checks paper. Glue the solid flowers behind the matching open flowers in the heart, then glue the heart to Little Things tan paper. Trim it to 4⅛"x3⅞" and mat on pink cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue the panel to the inside, ½" from the left edge.
9. Trace and cut the banner pattern from Little Things pink paper. Stamp “thanks” on it, then mat the banner on pink cardstock with 1/16" borders. Glue as shown. Place the butterfly Dazzles™ on the heart and papers as shown. Place and glue the jewel Dazzles™ as before.
