Instructions:

1. Adhere your scrolled Mary Engelbreit paper to your card. Cut a .5" x 3.5" strip of your Treasure Tape Sheet, and apply it across the center of your scrolled paper. Press outward from the center to remove any air pockets.
    
2. Peel back the red liner and begin laying down rows of thread. You can alternate between ribbon and braid for different width stripes. Trim the threads at each end.
    
3. Using your 1/8" Treasure Trim, create a tape border around the outside of the scrolled paper, overlapping the paper and the ends of your thread stripes. Peel back the red liner and lay down a border using your 042 Ribbon.
    
4. Punch a "stamp" shape out of the pink cardstock. Next punch a smaller square shape out of your coordinating patterned paper. Attach it to the center of your stamp shape. Cut a small heart from your Treasure Tape sheet, and adhere it to the center of your square. Press firmly.
    
5. Adhere your stamped motif to the center of your card, over the stripes. Peel back the red liner on your heart shape. Outline your heart with braid.
    
6. Place your card into a shallow tray or in a small ziploc bag, and pour beadlets over the exposed tape areas. Tap to remove excess beadlets.
