Instructions:
1. Using the CD as a template, trace the circle with a pencil on a scrap piece
of cardstock and a black piece of cardstock. Cut out.
2. The red circle is the back of your wall hanging. Using the ‘Love’ stamp, ink
it with the Platinum ink pad and stamp several times all over the circle. Using
the Silver Leafing pen, outline the circle and set aside.
3. Using the Platinum stamp pad, ink up the Love definition stamp from the Well
Defined Backgrounds set. Stamp several times onto the black circle.
4. Using the VersaMark stamp pad, ink the ‘LOVE’ stamp from the Dance with Your
Spirit set. Stamp randomly over the Love Definition that was previous stamped.
Sprinkle the Silver embossing powder over the Love words, shake off excess, and
melt with a heat gun.
5. Now, take the ‘love you’ stamp from the Little Tidbits set and repeat step 4.
Outline the circle with the Silver Leafing pen.
6. Tear a piece of red mulberry paper to fit the black circle and adhere. Set
aside.
7. Punch 4 squares from the scrap white cardstock. Ink the letter “L” with the
Platinum ink pad and set aside. Take one of the squares and place on top of the
Versa Mark pad and push around with your fingers to cover the cardstock with the
ink. Sprinkle the red embossing powder over the square, carefully lift with the
tweezers and shake off excess. Place in a box top or pie tin and heat until
melted. (You may want to hold the square down with the tweezers so it doesn’t
fly away while you are heating it). Quickly add another layer of embossing
powder while it is still warm and melt again. Repeat this step about three
times. On the fourth coat, sprinkle glitter over the square, then a bit more
embossing powder and heat until melted. On the last layer, when done melting the
embossing powder, and it is still warm, stamp the letter “L” directly on the
square. Leave the stamp sit on the square for a minute or two until the embossed
layers cool for a beautiful imprint. Remove the stamp.
8. Repeat Step 7 for the other three letters of the word ‘LOVE’. Adhere the
squares to the circle using the picture shown for placement.
9. Cut hearts out using die cutting machine of choice. I used the Sizzlet Heart
die with the Sizzix Sidekick. Wrap hearts in wire. Adhere one heart flat to the
circle. Adhere the second heart with the 3-D adhesive square referring to the
picture shown.
10. Wrap the circle with the fibers – attaching them to the back of the circle.
11. Make hanger by doubling over the ribbon and adhering it to the CD.
12. Adhere the black embellished circle to the CD. Make sure you get the top of
the circle placed so it is centered over the hanger!
13. Adhere the red circle to the back of the CD.
