  • Lacy Layered Heart Madness

    Lacy Layered Heart Madness

    Hi Everyone, it’s Tina here. I have 5 cards to share with you today using the new Lacy Layered Heart Dies. I sort of went crazy lol. This die is so versatile and below you will see the possibilities are endless. This post will be a little long and I will give brief descriptions on how I created each one. All cards are A2 size (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″). So let’s get started.

    For this card I diecut the Lacy Layered Heart Die (pattern) will foil cardstock and fun foam, the solid with white cardstock. I adhered the foil diecut on top of the fun foam and adhered it to the solid white diecut. I diecut the Double Stitched Rectangles using white cardstock. I added the sentiment from the Say It With Hearts stamp set and stamped mini hearts before adhering the whole panel to a card front. For some added interest I adhered sequins.

    For this card I used the pattern paper from American Crafts Loves Me 6×6. I diecut a Double Stitched Rectangles using white cardstock and adhered to the card front. I diecut Lacy Layered Heart the solid using patterned paper and adhered to the card front. I diecut Double Stitched Squares using the pattern paper which included a sentiment and adhered to the card. I diecut Stitched Sentiment Strip using the patterned paper and adhere to card. For added interest I adhered some Heart Sprinkles.

    For this card I embossed a piece of white cardstock and diecut it with the Double Stitched Rectangles die and adhered it to the card front using foam tape. Using a scrap piece of cardstock I added Distress Oxide Inks and diecut it using the Lacy Layered Heart solid and white cardstock for the pattern. I adhered both to the card. I diecut I Love You Shadow colored for the shadow and white for the sentiment. I adhered both to the card stock. I kept this one clean but you could add some Crystal Nuvo Drops Morning Dew for some added interest.

    For this card I used the Nuvo Glimmer Paste Moonstone with a Heart Stencil on white cardstock. Once dry I diecut it with the Double Stitched Rectangles and adhered it to the card front. I diecut the Lacy Layered Heart solid and pattern using red cardstock and adhered it to the right edge of card. I trimmed off the excess.  I stamped and colored an image and adhered it using foam tape. I diecut some little hearts and covered them with Crystal Nuvo Drops Morning Dew. I stamped the sentiment from the Say It With Hearts Stamp Set.

    For my last card I used the Life Changing Brushes to create a soft pastel background. I diecut it with the Double Stitched Rectangles and adhered it to the card front landscape. I diecut the Lacy Layered Heart pattern in white cardstock and adhered over the inked background. I inked on a scrap piece of cardstock one of the colors from my background and stamped the sentiment from the Say It With Hearts using versamark and heat embossing. I adhered it to the card using foam tape.

    I hope you enjoyed the many ways you can use the Lacy Layered Heart dies. You can also use it as a stencil or dry emboss it in your diecut machine. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
