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.

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.
I used the 
It’s New Year’s Eve! I hope you’re rested and ready to stay up late to ring in 2019! Today I’m playing with the Petal Burst Stencil from the store because the finished card reminds me of a firework!
I started by cutting a panel of white card stock the same size as the stencil (6×6″). I adhered the panel to my glass craft mat with double sided tape. Then I taped the stencil over the panel with removable wash tape and inked Candied Apple in all four openings. Next I wiped the stencil with a cloth to remove any excess ink, rotated the stencil, adhered it in place and inked the Spiced Pumpkin.
The stencil has marks etched into the plastic to help you align each turn of the petals.
When all the layers were inked and dried I cut the panel to 5″ square and adhered it to a 5.25″ square card base.
Wishing you a healthy and happy 2019! And in case you missed it..
Better hurry! Today is the last day of our After Christmas Sale!
