  2. Use the Glue Dots® Permanent GlueTape to glue the banner pieces. If you start in the middle, the edges should line up easily.

  3. Use the Glue Dots® Permanent GlueTape, and glue the scallop circle to the white circle, then to the pink stitched circle.
  4. Add one Glue Dots® Ultra-Thin Dot to the back of the Blue Heart.
  5. Wrap some thread around your fingers 5 or 6 times and cut the end.
  6. Put the thread on the Glue Dot® and move it around until the cluster looks good to you.
  7. Add some Glue Dots® Permanent GlueTape to the remainder of the back side of the heart and glue to the pink stitched circle.
  8. Stamp the Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment on the blue strip, and then use the Glue Dots® Permanent GlueTape to glue it to the pink strip and across the bottom edge of the card front.
  9. Pour a small amount of sequins from the black mix. Pick the medium to largest size, and use Glue Dots® Micro Dots to glue them randomly around the card front.
  10. Adjust the thread ball again to make sure how it’s you like, and your card is done. Happy Valentine’s Day!
