Materials:
- Foil Papier Tole "Fancy Hearts" (HOTP)
- patterned paper (HOTP)
- white heart doily
- white card stock
- pink card stock
- "Heart Background" embossing folder (Darice)
- "Vintage Label and Banner" die set (JustRite)
- "Antique Valentine Tags One" stamps (JustRite)
- Pink ink
- VersaMark ink
- Sterling embossing powder
- Card Base: This card was made in 2 pieces. The first (for the focal) was an 8" x 3" piece scored at 4" and folded in half. The second (for the steps) was a 6" x 11" piece scored at 1", 2", 4", 6", 8 1/2" and accordion folded to create the side steps.
- Background Focal: I placed the folded card base in the heart background embossing folder and embossed it.
- Background Steps: I cut pieces of patterned paper just smaller than the steps and inked the edges before gluing to the front of the steps.
- Assembly: I glued the OUTSIDE of the front of the focal piece to the INSIDE of the first step. Then I glued the INSIDE of the back of the focal piece to the OUTSIDE of the back step (gluing just the bottom inch or so).
- Decorating: For the focal I backed a heart doily from my stash with pink card stock and then layered the "fancy heart" on top of it (adding it's layers with foam tape). I had a leftover piece from another one that I put on the back step and used the extra art pieces on the front two steps. I finished it with a tag cut from pink card stock using a die from "Vintage Label & Banner", stamped with VersaMark & heat embossed with sterling embossing powder - added with foam tape.
