2. Adhere chipboard flower to the top of the stem, about 1-1/4" from the top.  Layer with a second smaller chipboard heart.  Using Big Bite, carefully punch a 1/8" hole in the center of the two layered flowers and top with a rhinestone brad.  Using Big Bite tool again, punch a 1/8" holes in each of the petals on the large chipboard flower.

Make any adjustments to ribbon and then using the Big Bite again, punch a 1/8" circle through ribbon petal and top with a brad in a coordinating color as shown.
