I am a die cut crafter girl at heart and WOW, did I swoon over the exclusive “love” and heart-shaped metal dies! Take a look at the layout I created to make these die cuts a big focal point of my page:
For my page title, I cut out the “love” word and outline using plain cardstock and patterned papers. I am early in my design process here—just cutting them out and playing around with them helped me to generate ideas for my title.
The stitched heart dies are beautiful on their own as heart shapes, or you can nest them together to create a heart outline, and “voila,” you have just created another shape with your set! The heart outline could be used to create a cute frame for a photo or a journaling spot.
There are several ways to add visual interest to your die cut words other than just cutting them out of plain cardstock. Cutting your words from materials like felt, dry embossing the word, or cutting from fun patterned papers are all great options for adding “oomph” to your title!
I hope you have fun creating with your January Sampler, and especially your new metal dies! Have a wonderful day!
