In this sample, I first blended some Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick<\/a><\/span> and Candied Apple<\/a><\/span> onto some watercolor paper to create an ombre look. Then sprinkled some water on the paper and lifted up some of the ink with a paper towel for a mottled look. I die cut the heart from the inked paper for the heart inset. Lastly, I die cut the same heart from the black card base and inset the ink-blended\/splattered heart.<\/p>\n I repeated the same treatment to a bit more water color paper and used the Bold Love Word Die<\/a><\/span> to kind of add a defining sentiment to the base of the card. Lastly I die cut the cute boy and girl (and dog) from the\u00a0Sweet Kiss Die Set<\/a><\/span> using red metallic card stock and positioned them in front of the heart. The metallic red adds festive shine and pops nicely from the black card base. The extra heart from the inside of the heart shaped leash I used as a finishing accent hovering above the boy and girl. To add a bit of softness, I also rounded to two right corners of the card with a We R Memory Keepers Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper and inked the edges of the card with more\u00a0 Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks in Worn Lipstick<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n The video below shows all the dies in this new release and also shares how I made this card:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.craftypaws.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/20180128_142319.jpg\")
<\/a>For this Valentines card, I used three of the four new die sets<\/a><\/span>. First I used the middle sized heart from the Inside and Out Stitched Hearts Die Set<\/a><\/span> to inlay a heart from the black card base. I love that with these hearts die set, the stitching is both on the inside and outside of the heart dies so if you just want to use the frame or area outside of the heart, you still get stitched details but you can get stitched hearts if you want to use the heart cut outs only.<\/p>\n
