If you did not attend the workshop and do not have the featured stamp set, use an alternate stamp set or talk with your Consultant about how to purchase this exclusive stamp set. Your Consultant can offer you additional help with this and other great projects and show you our full line of high quality scrapbooking and cardmaking products.

• Use diagrams on page 110 of Imagine: Understudy™ to cut papers. Cut one 2" × 4" Colonial White cardstock for all stamped pieces. Use Heavenly Blue cardstock for bases.
• Scissor distress edges of Colonial White cardstock pieces.
• Swipe edges of B&T Duos^® papers with coordinating ink.
• Sponge surface of five Dimensional Elements hearts.
• When stamping images, use double stamping technique: Stamp image once, re-ink image in same color, and then stamp image directly over first stamped image, making sure to line up stitch marks.
• Assemble layout according to instructions on page 111.
• Use piercing tool to create “x” marks, as desired; thread Chocolate embroidery floss through holes, creating a cross-stitch pattern.
• Use piercing tool to create design on four of the five Dimensional Elements hearts.
• Embellish as desired. (Tip: When layering Dimensional Elements, place a small portion of the negative space from the packaging under the top Dimensional Element to stabilize the cluster.)
