Do you remember making your own decorative paper? This paper is made with 2 pieces of waxed paper and hearts punched from tissue paper. We used the Full Heart and Heart to Heart punches to make our hearts. Place the hearts in a single layer, across one piece of the waxed paper which should be laying on a thin towel. Carefully lay the other piece of waxed paper on top of the hearts being careful to not "blow" all the tissue hearts off. Iron the two pieces of waxed paper together until they melt.
We then used this new DSP with several Big Shot dies - Two Tags, Scallop Envelope and Petal Card. What fun, colorful treat holders. You can see we filled them with Ghiradelli, foiled hearts and mini candy bars.
This handmade paper could be used on a card, decorations, flowers and you can create handmade paper for any holiday or occasion.
Awesome!
Does another towel go on top of the 'sandwich' when ironing?

What a GREAT idea! I can see this with all types of flowers, butterflies...using dies and punches. So sweet and will work beautifully for spring things. Thanks so much for the CLEVER idea!

How fun!
I remember making something similar when we were kids. It is especially fun for valentine's Day.
