Amour Arch Layering Card & Giveaway | by Alicia Havranek

Hello!  Today I am featuring the new Amour Arch Layering Die Set from the recent Valentine’s Day release.  In addition to the Amour Arch Die I am using the new Stitched Heart Set and Lingo Thanks stamp set and die.  To celebrate the new release there is a giveaway as well!  You can find the details below.

I used the three Amour Arch dies to cut out red (layer A), black (layer B), and gray (layer C) cardstock.  Once adhering them together, I attached them to a white card base.  I used the Stitched Heart Die set to cut out the two larger hearts with some glitter cardstock.  The smaller hearts are left overs from the Amour Arch die.  I attached the hearts with some foam squares to give them extra dimension.

For the sentiment I stamped the love and hug on black cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder, then die cut them with the coordinating dies.  I used dimensionals as well to pop up the sentiment.  There is a video process of this card if you want to check it out.  It will be at the bottom of this post.

Now for the giveaway!  The giveaway is for LAYER A OF THE AMOUR ARCH DIE.

    I really like this Arch. It adds so much personality to the card. Sometimes after making a bunch of Valentine’s Day cards it gets kind of monotonous. Typically I only have a few options of stamps and dies for Valentine’s but I still make cards for the elderly in Nursing Homes and Assisted Living facilities. A die such as this just gives so many different ways to make a card.

    Very clever use of colours Red, Black and Grey, they really look great. Using the inside of a die cut out is what I allways try and do (no waste) all in all I love your card. Thankyou for the chance to win the layer A die. Xx
