New Release Blog Blitz – Band of Hearts | by Laurie Schmidlin

It’s the final day of our new release Blog Blitz!  All week we’ve been sharing projects created with the brand new Birch Press Design Craft Dies!

Band of Hearts

When I first saw the Band of Hearts craft die, I was excited about all of the design possibilities!  My first card shows how beautiful this die can be when layered together.

I started by die cutting three Band of Hearts using a pink ombre color palette.  I glued them together, stair stepping each one.

After adhering the Band of Hearts die cut trio to my background layer, I trimmed the top.

The heart focal image and sentiment are from the Grateful Heart stamp set from our sister company, Poppystamps.  The hearts were die cut using the coordinating Grateful Heart die set (also from Poppystamps).

My next card also features the Band of Hearts die.  This time, I used all of the small hearts leftover from my first card.  I started by die cutting the new Amour Layer A craft die.  I filled in the larger die cut hearts with the smaller hearts.

I used another sentiment from the Grateful Heart stamp set from Poppystamps.
