The original tutorial for making this is here but I also wondered how it would look punched from a heart shape and whether I could simplify it by dispensing with the ribbon punch (as I didn’t have one)! This is how I recycled the idea:
There’s a step by step of my adapted method (for circles and hearts) on my blog today.

from the talented Jessica Jones over at How About Orange
