birthday card, straight from the heart - ladies edition

and one more "laminate sample - heart" birthday card...my last one to be published...i promise.

this one is sort of a mixture of my previous greeting cards...a sewn fabric heart and some sequins in black on a laminate sample.

basically it is a female, but not tacky version of the first one.

...black and a little bling bling...this is my thing...especially in a rustic combination with wood or faux wood.









this is what you need





- laminate sample

- black bling bling fabric

- heart template

- cotton balls

- bright touch-up pen

- scissors

- glue

- black sequins

- black paper

- yarn

- pins 

- sewing machine


 this is what you have to do





- place your heart template onto the backside of the fabric




- copy the outlines of the heart




- it could look like this




- get your scissors ready




- cut out the heart




- here we go




- cut out a second fabric heart




- get your pins ready




- pin the two hearts together, the outer side of the fabric on the outer side







- sew both pieces together




- leave an opening of a few centimeters





 - get you cotton balls ready, as you can see cotton pads will do as well



- insert the cotton balls




- close the opening with pins









- sew along the edges to seal the heart













- get your glue ready








- apply glue to the backside of the fabric heart




- press it firmly onto the right upper part of the laminate sample







- get you sequins ready




- sprinkle some sequins onto the laminate sample and adhere them with glue






- write your wishes onto the black paper




- adhere the paper onto the backside of the laminate sample








that's it a simple but cool and stylish birthday card for ladies or fashionable gentlemen is ready.

i hope you have enjoyed the tutorial...thank you very much for your visit...best regards...silke
