3D Concentric Heart Dies- Made Easy

3D Concentric Heart Dies- Made Easy

Hi Crafters,

Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to share something from the heart—especially when it’s handmade! This week, we’re creating a stunning layered card using the 3D Concentric Heart Dies. These intricate, lace-like hearts bring a touch of vintage charm to your cards, just like the fanciest box of chocolates. What’s great is, you get large and small concentric heart dies with shadow layers, giving you endless options for layering and color play.

We paired these dies with shimmer cardstock, embossing folders, and florals from the favorite flowers. Let’s make something spectacular together!

First, place the intricate large and small heart dies onto gold cardstock and cut them out.

Cut the shadow layers for each heart using red shimmer and gold glitter cardstock.

Cut 2 large hearts from light blue shimmer cardstock for added contrast.

Emboss your red shimmer heart using your favorite folder for a luxe, textured look.

Offset the gold heart over the red one slightly to create a glowing layered effect.

Create a card base using floral backgrounds and golden corner embellishments. Center your layered heart with foam adhesive.

Place your first blue heart on the card and inlay a gold filigree heart inside for sparkle.

Add the second blue heart with foam adhesive for extra dimension.

Top it all off with a smaller decorative heart with “Happy Valentine’s Day” and add gold foil flourishes.

There are so many ways to create with this die set, and you are going to love your spectacular cards! 

Play with different paper combinations—see how dramatic black makes the design pop?

Try cutting vellum too—it embosses beautifully and adds a soft, romantic touch.

There are so many ways to get creative with the 3D Concentric Heart Dies. Whether you go sweet and soft or bold and elegant, your handmade Valentine is sure to stand out!

We can’t wait to see what you create. Share your card with us in the community—let’s inspire each other this Valentine’s season with heartfelt beauty!

Love,


Anna

I like how you can die cut in several colors and mix and match and make multiple cards. The embossing is a nice touch. I have those Cuttlebug Embossing Folders. I do pull them out occasionally. They are like a layer of buttercream frosting on your project.
Happy Crafting!

Great Valentine cardmaking, Anna! I’m starting in earnest this new year. Thank you for weekly Made Easy Tutorial. After playing cards in Finishing School during holiday break, I also realized how much I look forward to Tuesday tutorials, to set the tone for the week ahead. Tuesday are like ‘warm ups’ for my weekend papercrafting—so doable, using same or similar materials; and, with successful results! Since CREATE 2025 in November, I’ve given myself the gift of creative time each Tuesday, following along. Thank you for supplying inspiration and beautiful products to spark my mind and heart!
