• Cut out the star kaleidoscope using sharp scissors.
• Tape the end of the metallic thread to the back of the star kaleidoscope, then wrap the star in a Spirelli fashion. (You may need to go around twice since the thread is fairly thin. Or just use a thicker thread.) Tape the other end to the back.
• Apply foam adhesive to the back of the star kaleidoscope and set aside.
• Cut two 1-5/8” x 3-1/4” rectangles from the kaleidoscope patterned paper.
• Adhere the rectangles to the 5” x 5” square of cardstock as shown.
• Using a sewing machine, zig-zag stitch along the inside edges of the rectangles.  Secure the ends of the thread on the back with tape.
• Stamp a small heart on the cardstock in the bottom right corner.  Sprinkle embossing powder over it, remove excess, then heat with heat gun.
• Fold the 11” x 5.5” cardstock in half to form card base.
• Adhere the 5” x 5” square in the center of the front of the card.
• Zig-zag stitch around the outside edge of the 5” x 5” square.  Pull the threads to the inside of the card and bury in the zig-zag stitches.
• Adhere the star kaleidoscope in the remaining space as shown.
