If you are not already a subscriber make sure you subscribe to the Newsletter and don't forget that pesky confirmation email to complete the subscription!

1. Take a piece of 8x8 Card Stock (white) and fold in half for the base of your card
2. Ink your Dots for Sure stamp up with Close to My Heart Sunny Yellow and stamp along the bottom of your card 
3. Place your washi tape on your card, I snipped the ends of mine to look like banners

4. Snip a small piece out of the fold on your card to create a hole so you can tie your twine onto the card, right below the doily
5. Stamp your sentiment in Rich Cocoa on a Wilton Doily and adhere above the Washi Tape

6. Stamp the heart from Straight from the Heart in Sunny Yellow 2x on scrap card stock 
7. Cut the inner heart out of one the images and layer with washi tape
8. Using 3m foam adhesive add the hearts to your card
