opulent gold and pink anniversary card with multiple, matte foil hearts

Smitten Cut and Emboss Folders- Made Easy

Hello crafters,

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and the Smitten Cut and Emboss Folders are just the thing to create love themed ephemera in one pass through your diecutting and embossing machine. With this set, you'll get 9 different images-- from hearts and keys to lovebirds and more! 

Crafting for Valentine's Day is a heartfelt way to show love and appreciation to your friends and family. Use our stamps, stickers and dies to add personal touches and create unique cards. Each valentine will become a beautiful expression of affection that the recipient will cherish for years to come. Get out your Smitten Cut and Emboss Folders and let's create a gorgeous card for an anniversary, February 14th, weddings and beyond!

First, we used a piece of matte gold cardstock and a piece of pink matte foil cardstock and place it in each of the folders. We like to place a piece of wax paper on top for easy removal.

Next, we cut a heart out of the Annalise Cardstock with the 3D Doily Dies.

We created a background using the Birthday Greetings 3D Concentric Dies, but you can use any of the frame dies in your craft room.

Next we created 2 collages for the top right and bottom left of the card using the pink and gold embellishments that we cut and flowers from Annalise.

Combine the heart from the 3D Lace Doily Dies and the one from your Smitten Cut and Emboss Folders.

Place the double heart with the arrow through it a little south of center on your double heart.

A sentiment from the Romantic Stickers and Sentiments and a bow finish your card in a beautiful way.

Now you have the most stunning anniversary card to send. If you need a different card, simply swap out the sentiment for any occasion.

What's great about the Smitten Cut and Emboss Folders is that you can use all of your beloved paper scraps in all kinds of colors.

The Smitten Cut and Emboss Folders aren't just for Valentine's Day! Use them anywhere you need a heart.

These hearts are lovely on our new Heart Shaped Cards and Envelopes!

We know that if you are looking forward to all of the hearts, lace, flowers and love of Valentine's Day, this set is going to be great for you! Create diecuts for cards, scrapbook pages, tags and more. Anywhere you need an extra, smitten flair, add one of these diecuts. Enjoy this tutorial for the next week, and access it unlimited with your AG Membership. If creativity is one of your goals this year, then our Finishing School is the place to be! 

Also, tickets are on sale now for the 5th Annual Crop at Home event! This event will be from the comfort of your own home and hybrid, meaning both card making and scrapbooking. You will get the dies, materials, instructions and 3 days (9 classes) of live teaching and community. You will use these techniques and tools for years to come.

Bye for now,

Anna

Just received my cut and emboss folders today. Working on organizing my papers and will start on the Valentine cards. These will work great also with the Astrid photo album I am working on for my grandson and his lovely family. 🙏🌸
