Hello there, SCT friends! It’s Meghann Andrew with you today! One of my most anticipated columns in each issue of SCT Magazine is the 10 Most Wanted! I love seeing the latest and greatest products of the season together. Today, I’m using one of those featured products from our Winter 2022 Issue to create with! Take a look at the product that I thought was especially fitting for this month, the LDRS Creative Big Words “Love” die:

This die includes a big “love” sentiment, as well as smaller scripted words that can be layered to create a special, stand-out sentiment for a card, but when I saw it in the issue, I had other plans for this die! Take a look at how I used it:

 

Supplies | LDRS Creative: Big Word Dies – Love, Lovely Watercolor 6 x 6 paper pack, One Fine Day ephemera pieces, Amazing You sentiment stack stamp, Sentiment Stack die II; Bazzill: Cardstock; Close to My Heart: Exclusive Inks; Scrapbook.com: Deluxe adhesive roller adhesive, Smart craft glue; Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: Crafty foam tape; Therm O Web: Pixie tape; Altenew: enamel dots

Not only could I see this large sentiment creating the perfect layout title, I used it to create a subtle, but textural tone-on-tone layout background, too!

Although a bit time-consuming, the repeated die cut design using the Big Word Dies on the background was completely worth it. I just love this page and all of its special details!

Once I created and adhered to the background die cuts, the rest of the page was quite simple!

To keep the page soft and sweet, I grabbed patterns from the Lovely Watercolor 6 x 6 paper pack and One Fine Day ephemera pieces to create my photo mat and embellish in three areas around the photograph.

I even used the Amazing You sentiment stack stamp and coordinating Sentiment Stack die II to add the perfect small sentiment under the title. I love this layout so much, but I couldn’t stop there. I had so many of the negative pieces from the Big Word Love Die that I used them to create a sweet and simple card.

Are you ready to see this 10 Most Wanted product in action? Take a look at my latest process video on the SCT YouTube channel:

I hope today’s projects have given you some ideas for how you can make the most of your metal dies on a layout or a card using the dies you have on hand!
