Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. I am sharing 3 cards so I apologize for the longer post. Starting in 2019 I loved creating my own backgrounds. I used to be a paper hoarder. Although I still hoard 6 x 6 paper pads my love for DIY backgrounds is still strong. I love it when a stamp set allows you to create backgrounds. Say It With Hearts is such a cute stamp set because it brings back my youth with the Heart Candies and makes for a fun background. I also love making alcohol backgrounds and never use them. I will show you how the Layering Nested Heart die can showcase an alcohol background without it overtaking the entire card. Below are the three cards I created using the Say It With Hearts Stamp Set and the Layering Nested Heart Die.

All cards are trimmed on White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ and folded in half for a vertical side fold card. (A2)

Diecut Layering Nested Heart 6 times on scrap paper. Use washi or temporary tape to adhere all the hearts to align on a White Cardstock trimmed to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. Place the die over the temporary diecut. This will fit in perfectly. You will need to do this to all 6 hearts. Diecut Double Stitched rectangles to the panel created. Trim your alcohol background so that it will fit underneath the panel and adhere to card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Adhere the top panel using Foam Tape. Stamp sentiment on Black Cardstock using Versamark, sprinkle White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a heat tool. Trim and adhere to the center using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. See additional photos for visual.

This card is super simple to make and best made using a stamp positioner tool. In various colours of Distress Oxide Inks I stamped the Solid Heart from the Say It With Hearts. When all your hearts are stamped and the ink is dry stamp the mini sentiments inside of the hearts using Versamark, sprinkle White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. Diecut the panel using Double Stitched Rectangles and adhere to card using Foam Tape. Stamp sentiment on Black Cardstock using Versamark, sprinkle White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a heat tool. Diecut the sentiment using Stitched Fishtail Banners and trim off the left side then adhere to card using Foam Tape. For added interest I applied Nuvo Jewel Drops in various colours on top of White Heart Sprinkles. Let dry and then adhere to card using Collage Medium. See additional photos for visual.

Trim White Cardstock to 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and Diecut Double Stitched Circle. This will be your top layer and can be used as a guide for the next step. Directly on the card front I stamped various colours of Distress Oxide Inks with the Solid Heart from the Say It With Hearts to fit inside of the circle panel. When all your hearts are stamped and the ink is dry stamp the mini sentiments inside of the hearts using Versamark, sprinkle White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. Adhere the circle panel to the card front using Foam Tape. For added interest Diecut Layering Nested Hearts in various sizes in Red Cardstock and adhere to card using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Stamp sentiment on Black Cardstock using Versamark, sprinkle White Embossing Powder and heat set it with a heat tool. Diecut the sentiment using Stitched Fishtail Banners and trim off the right side then adhere to card using Foam Tape.

These cards are using non traditional colours for Valentine’s. What’s fun is that you can change the colours on any of them to make it as soft or bright as you want. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
