Jar Full of Hearts

Here's another idea for Valentine's Day.
Materials needed:
Patterned paper 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" (I think this paper was from a patterned pack call Print Poetry from SU!                                                           I've had it a few years & I can't find the UPC info.)
Pink card stock 3 1/2 x 4 1/2"
White card stock
Scraps of a red based patterned paper
Perfectly Preserved stamp set (#126692)
Hearts a Flutter stamp set (#129252)
Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set (#115370)
Framelits Cannery dies (#127822)
Hearts a Flutter dies (#130159)
Edgelits Adorning Accents die (#125595)
Polka Dot Grosgrain ribbon Melon Mambo (#115611)
Subtle collection Brads (#119738)
Word Window punch (#119857)
Modern Label punch (#119849)
Melon Mambo ink
Early Espresso ink
Early Espresso marker

1. Place the Edgelits die on one end of the pink card stock. Run it through your Big Shot machine. Adhere this to the left side of the patterned paper.
2. Stamp the jar from the Perfectly Preserved stamp set in Early Espresso ink on white card stock. Stamp hearts from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on white card stock.
3. Place the Framelits Cannery die and the Hearts a Flutter die on top of the stamped images. If you place a red patterned paper under the hearts images, you can cut 2 layers at the same time. Run your dies through your Big Shot machine. Repeat to cut more hearts. I did 3 stamped hearts and 2 patterned paper hearts. If you cut some more, you can place some hearts on the inside of the card.
4. Stamp 1 heart in the center of the jar image. This will make the heart layering easier. Adhere the jar to the left side of the pink card stock that has already had a border cut. Adhere 2 more hearts "inside" the jar. Use the Early Espresso marker to draw lines over the hearts where the heart covered up lines from the jar.
5. Adhere 3 hearts on the right side of the pink card stock near the scalloped border.
6. Stamp the greeting from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set in Melon Mambo ink on white card stock. Punch this out with the Word Window punch. Rub the punched item across the surface of the Melon Mambo ink pad to ink the edges.
7. Cut a piece of Melon Mambo ribbon about 6". Apply adhesive to the back and press it on the right side of the patterned paper. Wrap the ends around the back of the card front.
8. Punch a Modern Label punch from your patterned paper. My patterned paper is two sided so I flipped it over & used the reverse side. Adhere the greeting on top of the Modern Label punch. Adhere it to the top right side overlapping the ribbon. Punch holes on each end of the label and insert brads. Fold to the back.
9. Adhere the card front to a card back. On the inside, you can add extra hearts and a greeting to your loved one.
