Create a Valentine’s Day Card for a Friend with Layered Dies & Pattern Paper

In this video, I’m sharing how to add depth to die cuts using ink blending and pattern paper while creating a Valentine’s Day card for a friend. You’ll see how I combine stamping, die cutting, and simple ink blending to give flat die cuts more dimension—without coloring—and how patterned paper can do a lot of the design work for you.

I also show how I like to use dies in a different way by combining die sets to build a small scene, including turning a slimline tree die into a branch for the focal image. This approach is great for beginner to intermediate cardmakers who want more polished results using stamps, dies, inks, and pattern paper they already love.
