[Tutorial] Heart Banner for Valentine's Day + Giveaway + Discount Code
Hello everyone! I can't believe that Valentine's Day is just a week away. My 2013 has been WILD! I have a small tutorial today for a quick heart banner.
Cut paper to 4" x 12". This is the front of the paper I am using.
Step 1. On the back of the paper, score at 6" and make a small mark at 2" as shown:
Step 2. Flip paper, align the 2" mark and the bottom of the 6" score line we made in step 1 along the 4-1/4" line, score.
Step 3. Fold as shown.
Step 4. Mark the corners and fold back to form the heart shape.
Clip it to the twine and you are done! :) Have fun!
We have a sponsored giveaway today :) Kelly with Scraputante contacted me for guest designing for them earlier and agreed to sponsor a giveaway instead. Scraputante is generously offering a $20 store credit to one lucky winner and a 15% off coupon for my blog readers by using code WAFFLE15 by the end of February, 2013. Here is a brief introduction to the store:
I made it within 10 minutes:) The finished heart is about 8-1/2" - a good size for home decorations. This is also a great way to use some of the pretty paper we've been hoarding collecting. I used my favorite V Day collection of all time: With Love by Pebbles.

Very cute heart banner—I like how you folded the paper to make the hearts. My favorite Love collection is True Love by Basic Grey

So cute and so easy Nina! Thinking about tackling this with Ellie….or at least letting her do the folding/decorating. Thanks to Scraputante for the chance to win too! I am really wanting some of the new Glitz right now!
