Adding Colored Parchment or Designer Paper

Heart Wrap Assembly and Inspiration
Sheet 1
- The heart wrap plate was designed to be used alongside the shaped Heart insert cards.
- Here’s how to use the two together.
- Place your piece of parchment onto the Groovi plate and emboss the frilly heart.
- The broken line running vertically through the heart is where your fold line will be. Emboss this very lightly with the number 2 Groovi tool. You only need to emboss in a few chosen places and the embossing should be hardly visible.
- Do not fold until you have finished embossing and coloring the heart.
- Now remove the parchment from the Groovi plate and emboss, color, and cut out around the border.
- When you are ready, perforate around the heart with a 2-needle perforating tool and cut out using your parchment scissors.
- Alternatively, you can cut it out with scissors or a craft knife around the outer edges.
- When you have finished it’s time to fold at the fold line.
- Place the heart face down on your embossing mat, and using the number 2 Groovi tool and the Pergamano ruler, emboss very gently along the line. Now fold very gently, teasing the fold line, along the edge of the ruler.
- Fold your card blank at the fold line and wrap your heart around the card, bringing the fold lines together.
- Stick together using tiny dabs of Perga glue in some well-chosen places. Alternatively, you can sew together at the spine of the card, or use some small pieces of double-sided tape placed under some embossed areas.
- For the insert cut a piece of parchment to measure 13.6 cm x 17.3 cm. If you cut two you could use one on the back of the card too. To decorate your insert, place the parchment, the wrong side up, onto the Groovi plate.
- Make sure to align three sides of your insert with the broken line marked “Guideline for insert”. Now emboss the two decorative corner pieces that frame the heart. Add a sentiment if you wish. Stick in place as before.
- Alternatively, you could add one of the other borders provided.

Sheet 2
- You can of course use the whole heart on the front of your folded card, instead of wrapping it around. Make sure you do not emboss the fold line for this.
- To help with this I have provided a heart shape that will fit behind the center of the heart to give it strength.
- You can copy this and cut it out of a piece of card. Stick this card heart underneath the finished parchment heart, before adding it to your folded-shaped card.
TEMPLATE FOR FULL HEART
(excluding frill)
Top Tip
- If you want to add some colored parchment or designer paper underneath your heart, you can do this in the following way.

- Perforate around the outer edge of the heart with your 2-needle tool; perforating through both layers.
- Picot cut around both layers separately.
- You should end up with a pair of perfectly matched hearts.
