  • Melted Metal Heart Valentine | Layered Heat Embossing

    Melted Metal Heart Valentine | Layered Heat Embossing

    Hello crafty friends!

    It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the quick and easy card that I created for Valentine’s Day using some of the new products from Kat Scrappiness.

    I created a piece of custom cardstock by double heat embossing it using Versamark and Detail Gold embossing powder. These pieces then got cut using the melting / frosting die from the Scoop of Love die set and the word die from the Love You Sentiment with Shadow die set.

    The “melted metal” top got placed onto the solid heart from the Scoop of Love die set and this piece was adhered with foam tape to the card base which already had a piece cut using the Stitched Hearts Coverplate die. I added the sentiment with help from some press-n-seal and then decorated with red and pink hearts from the My Valentine enamel dots.

    You can check out my video for the full process…

    Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

  • 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!

    Step 3 – Place Foil Paper over the background and insert it into a folded photocopy paper. Pass it in your laminator. I passed it twice. Remove the Foil Paper and what you have is a beautiful foiled background. See photos below.

    Step 4 – Diecut Double Stitched Rectangles to the background created from Step 3 – Adhere to card using Foam Tape.

    Step 5 – Diecut sentiment 3 times and adhere all layers using Collage Medium and adhere to card.
