  Step 1

  First I needed stamps to make my images, so I made them. How?

  For one I used a Marvy Uchida large heart punch, a foam sheet and a plastic box lid. I punched the heart out. A note here, the punch has a bit of plastic at the top so I had to trim the foam sheet down so I could slide it in sideways. I then cut the zig zag down the center of the heart. Then glued it to the plastic lid with glue stick.

  Step 2

  For the second stamp I used the Sizzix Big Shot Machine to die cut a small flower from the foam and glued the little flower onto the bottom of the plastic box.

  Step 3

  I then went to town stamping with acrylic paint on the Kunin felt. I wanted to have a bunch to work with (and play with) same thing I guess!

  Step 4

  Now onto the exciting melting part! I can not tell you how cool I think this is!

  Following the directions from the book I melted the Kunin felt away:

  Step 5

  I mounted my melted broken heart onto a card that I cut a window out of with the technique of two crossed colored staples I picked up doing Jen Mason's heart card last week at CHA.

  Step 6

  I wanted to store my card in my altered book for now so to temporarily keep it in there I cut a slit down a page as tall as the card. I have a tiny cutting mat that fits easily into the book that works great for this.

  I then needed to reinforce the page a bit so I used some decorative felt elements from Chatter Box. And there it will stay until the day it gets called into service.
