Rosebud Heart Notecards
By Tamera Bastiaans
What you need:
A piece of heavy cardstock
a small piece of pretty paper or fabric
30-40 dried mini rosebuds
A heart template (3" or 4")
glue
scissors
1/8" ribbon (optional)
Directions:
Cut the card stock in half (8 1/2 x 5 1/2). Now fold this in half to form a card.
Using the heart template (a cookie cutter works well), trace the shape onto the decorative paper or fabric. Glue the heart shape onto the middle of the front of the card. You will need a 3" heart for a vertical card and a 4" heart for a horizontal card.
Glue the rosebuds all around the edge of the heart, covering up the raw edge of the paper or fabric. I found that I needed to use my scissors to cut off the green bottom of the rosebud so that it would sit flat on the card.
Tie a bow with the ribbon and glue it on the heart.
Write a note on the inside and give it to someone you love!
Variation: In order to tie it onto a gift, punch a hole in the top left corner of the card and thread a ribbon through it, using it to tie onto the gift.
