Hello friends, Eloise here and today I’m back with a Valentine’s project. I’m using the Lingo Alphabet Dies, Adora Layer C Dies and Lingo Thanks Stamp Set. Today is also another day of the Blog Blitz, so at the end of the post there will be details about the die set being given away today.
I started off with ink blending some Distress Oxide Inks onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. I created two strips to be able to cut all the letters I needed out. Once they were ink blended, I flicked on some water and dried it with a heat tool. I then die cut all the letters out needed for ‘I Love You’ from the Lingo Alphabet Die Set.
(Distress Oxide Inks Used: Tattered Rose, Worn Lipstick, Picked Raspberry)
I then white heat embossed the sentiment ‘You Mean The World To Me’ from Lingo Thanks onto a strip of black cardstock. I cleaned up my embossing with a black pen and set that off to the side with my letters.
I wanted a super simple background, so the sentiment could be the main focus. I decided to do a grey watercolour background. I used my Mijello Misson Gold Palette and did a few stripes. I dried it with a heat tool and then cut the piece down to size.
I then roughly laid out my layout and decided I needed an extra colour, plus something to scatter. I used the Adora Layer C Die as it cuts many little hearts out.
I quickly ink blended some more Distress Oxide Inks onto another piece of watercolour cardstock, making sure to cover the whole background as I’ll use the rest later. I flicked on a little water, dried it and die cut the layer from it. I picked out a few hearts from it to scatter.
(Distress Oxide Inks Used: Abandoned Coral, Candied Apple, Fired Brick)
Lastly, it’s time to assemble. I took some twine and laid it down onto my background. I adhered my letters on top using foam tape, which also adhered down the twine. I scattered my hearts around as well to add a little extra. I added foam tape onto my additional sentiment and adhered it down into place as well. I cut off the ends of the string leaving a little showing.
To finish up I took the same red paper I made before and adhered my panel on top using foam tape. I adhered the entire panel onto a card base and my card was complete.

Hello Everyone!
Are you checking out the new Valentine’s release in the store? Today I’m showing two projects made with the Dahlia Heart layered set. You’re going to love these intricate heart designs not just for Valentine’s projects, but for wedding and anniversary’s too! We all want to know that we’re loved!
I made two cards from the same inked up distress panel.
I inked a white card stock panel with Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Candied Apple distress ink to achieve an ombre shades of red. The panel was splatered with water, some Picked Raspberry, and finally some white ink. Next I cut the largest Stitched Heart die from the panel. If you look close you can see it leaves a stitched outline along the outer edge of the die cut.
I adhered the panel to a card base, cut the Stitched Heart a second time from gold and inserted it inside the window cut on the panel. I cut and adhered the Dahlia Heart Layers one at a time over the gold heart. I used an acrylic block to hold them in place as they dried.
I reserved the die cut heart for my second card. This one started with a white panel of card stock that was debossed using the Amour Layer C background die. I cut the Dahlia Heart Layer A from gold glitter paper and adhered it over the distress ink heart.
You’ll create lots of stunning projects with these beautiful intricate hearts.
Hi it’s Tracey here today and I am so excited to be sharing a project with you today using the new 
To create this card I started out by stamping and white embossing the main image from the Shining Mandala stamp set onto a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I chose Bristol Smooth because I am going to be ink blending with the stencil set. The colours I chose for the ink blending were all Distress Oxide inks–Broken China, Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry. The way the stencils are cut out each layer exposes different sections of the overall stamp and also cover other areas allowing you to blend colours together in some places but also allowing other colours to shine on their own too! Here is the video I created to show you my process…
If you look a little closer you can see the clean white embossed lines and also how the colours blended together in some areas creating beautiful new hues.
With this stencil set you could create a mandala completely independently from the stamp and still get all of the clean lines and blending depending on the overall look that you are trying to achieve.
