[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.

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.

Here is what you will need for this project: 12x12 Paper Craft Pins Twine A scoring board (Scor-pal, Martha Stewart Scoring Board, Score-it...) 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.
