Fold card in half
Cut square out of from of card (carefully!)
Using the cut out bit - cut out a heart (can use PC to find a pic to use as a template)
Use thread to hang heart from the middle of the cut out hole

Print wording either onto anther peice of card or paper using the PC & fit to card

I have a pic of one I did like this if it helps !

'Cut square out from front of card' it should say

Or just cutting red hearts out of different sizes & styles & sticking to red card might look stylish. Or stick decreasing sizes on top of each other to make a 3d effect

Very good whizz. Round of applause. Clap clap clap

You´re a star!!

Thank you very much. Don´t think its going to look as good as yours though.....

[UCM]

You have 2 hours (well nearly). I was thinking you could add some foil somewhere. If you have a tube of tomato puree, you can cut the top bit off, wash out the tubee bit, then slice down the side and you have a piece of foily stuff cos it's gold on the inside. cut a patch and write on it with a Ball point pen. Then you have a lovely attachment.

Wow - UCM what a brill idea that is, im going to try that one!!!!

[poppiesinaline]

what a clever idea UCM. I am going to try that one too

[SoupDragon]

You have a lovely attachment and a pile of squeezed out tomato puree

PMSL, when I started to read UCMs post I thought "how is she going to use tomato puree on a card??!!!"

[UCM]

Heh Heh, now that would be messy. I got the idea off the telly. Some woman used a massive tom puree tube and covered a photo frame with it. She sort of drew lines and put loads of little dots in the squares (bit like dominos) it was terribly effective.

[hunkermunker]

Will use that idea, UCM - thank you! Knew there was a reason to buy puree in tubes not jars

[apronstrings]

Whizz - did you make all those cards? seriously impressed - its all in the artisic flourish - the way you shaped the heart etc.

Good luck chocolate queen

[Whizzz]

Yup all my own work - although some on there are a bit old. Cards & beady jewellery are my thing. All can be personalised and available at reasonable rates for MNers

Thanks for the compliments by the way
