Have you tried our Letterpress paper? Do you like it? Inquiring minds would love to know - ha, ha!
It is simple, quick, easy and cute! So many ideas are constantly flying through my head and yet I have not had the time to get into my studio to share them with you. Even though these ideas can be completed in a short spurt (at least if you go with your original idea ;-D --- more to come on that in a later post, because this idea created another, and then another, and...) life has been racing along at speeds unknown and so today I just took a moment (or two - ha, ha) to create a couple of designs to share with you.
Letterpress doesn't always need ink and I think this simple little number is over-the-top sweet just the way it is!
Begin by cutting out three heart chains from Art Magnetic Masking Material. I used Tissue Tape to attach them to my cutting plate so that they would not move. I then positioned my guide and attached it to the underside of the cutting plate with a piece of tissue tape. This guide ensures that I will position my letterpress paper in just the right spot - I need to create one with black lines so that it is easier for you to see in my pictures.

Then cut out three hearts using the Heart Chain die. Use a pencil to define the second heart edge on the back side and snip it with your detail scissors to create this cute little pair.
Awww - a feeling of satisfaction - idea shared :-D
