Hello everyone! I have another Valentine’s Day card for you featuring products from the 2023 Valentine’s Day release.
I did a faux letterpress technique using the Blissful Heart Hot Foil die. This is a good example of using dies other than what they were intended for.
To do this technique I used a brayer to apply Red Archival ink to the die and placed a piece of watercolor paper on top of the die. Next, I ran this through my die cutting machine following the instructions for embossing.
I used one of the hearts from the Double Stitch Loving Heart die set to die cut the letterpress heart.
I die cut the Pinpoint Leaf Plate on a white cardstock panel and adhered it to a red cardstock mat. This was glued to a white note card.
To create the strip behind the heart, I applied double stick to a white cardstock strip of paper and glued strips of cardstock to it. This is a great way to use scraps of cardstock. I glued this to the center of the card and used foam tape to adhere the letterpress heart to the card.
Next, I white heat embossed the words Hugs and Kisses to a strip of black cardstock and used foam tape to adhere it to the center of the heart.
To finish the card I added some Clear Fairy Drops and that’s it!
Thanks for stopping by today!
