2. Follow this LINK to view the assembly guide for
a practically-identical Valentine's Day patch heart card.
3. Here is a tip to help with positioning and attachment of
the words cut outs. A) Retain the weeded (discard) area around
letters after they are cut and removed.
B) Position that panel over card front
into preferred positioning for words.
C) Temp tape or hold in place while applying liquid adhesive
into the "windows" of letter cut outs. Then place
the letters into their cut out windows and apply
fingertip pressure until they are attached to card front.
taking care that the letters remain attached.
Here is the completed card.
