Love is in the Air Part Three! |

Only 10 more days until Valentine’s Day so another card idea using the Adoring Hearts stamp set and Hybrid Embossing Folder plus the Most Adored Designer Series Paper. Check back later in the week when I have a video showing how to use the brayer, Adoring Hearts Bundle and the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder.

Today’s card showcases the Adoring Hearts Embossing folder. I really love how you can quickly cut and emboss at the same time. Bonus if you are only using a few hearts, you will have several already cut to use on future projects. TIP: I keep all my extra die cuts I haven’t used in a large plastic container and my scraps in a plastic shoe box. When I need an extra doodad or a small piece of cardstock for a saying I will have one already cut.

This card is perfect for an advanced stamper. I used the pretty plaid for the Most Adored Designer Series Paper. I then cut several hearts using the Hybrid Embossing Folder and other dies in the bundle. It is in Bubble Bath, Real Red and white which are traditional Valentine’s Day colors.

Bonus: You can get this paper for FREE if you purchase the Adoring Hearts Bundle during Sale-A Bration. Retail amount $53.00 USD Item #162570.

Now how did I create the cut embossed hearts and the pretty filigree hearts with heart frames? I will be happy to share it with you my friends, and it all revolves around the hybrid folder!

First you want to place the nine heart die inside the embossing folder. You will notice how the die fits right over the hearts and kind of “locks” in place

Next you will add your cardstock. I cut mine in a 6″ x 6″ square so I have extras. Now run it through your die cut machine. Bonus: Not only will you have nine little embossed hearts but if you look closely at folder you will have nine open hearts with tiny embossed hearts all around. Later in the week I will show you what you can do with this extra piece! The sandwich for the folder is base plate, embossing folder and the gray plate – same as when using a 3D embossing folder.

Once you have cut out your embossed hearts its time to cut the little hearts and frames. So break out that nine piece heart die. Place the small filigree hearts and smaller hearts inside the open hearts as shown and run through your die cut machine. Guess what? More hearts to use on future cards!
