2. Punch along dashed line edge with edge punch.

3. Cut out heart shape from center of card stock piece with a craft knife.

4. Wrap card stock around cup and secure with double-sided tape.
Tip: Gently curve card stock with your hands first to avoid the paper cracking and folding when wrapped around cup.

6. Glue gold trim around cup where the crepe paper meets the card stock.
