Elegant Heart Frame Cards: Ink Blended or Inlay?

Hello, friends! Yesterday I was up on my YouTube channel creating with the Gina K. Designs Heart Frame Bundle, and I showed two ways to use it, plus gave tips for many more! Click ‘watch on YouTube’ on the thumbnail below, and don’t forget to hit the thumbs up button, leave a comment, and subscribe to my channel!

In this video, I created two cards to inspire you to use this special die set and stencil bundle:

First, we started out with the easiest technique of the two. The coordinating stencils make it easy to ink blend the leaves in two tones, and the berries to the square panel behind the intricate heart frame die cut. It takes only minutes to ink blend, then adhere the heart frame to the top to give you an elegant focal point for your card.

To finish off this card, I kept it simple, adding a small frame of Sea Glass, then adhering it to an A2 folded card base. The sentiment was placed underneath the square, and I finished off the card with a few Micro Disco Ball Sequins.

The second card shared an inlay technique, which is not complicated, but it does take a bit more time to execute. But, look at the result:

The amazing texture that you get from the inlay panel is worth the effort! And I shared lots of tips and tricks (plus a few shortcuts!) in my video for using this inlay technique.

To finish off this card, I added the inlay panel to a panel of Innocent Pink cardstock, stamped using the Snowy Background Stamp. A few Angel Aura Rhinestones finished off the card beautifully.

I hope you enjoyed this week’s livestream, and be sure to grab the Heart Frame Bundle, plus the additional supplies that I used to create these cards below! Thanks so much & happy creating!
