Gina K Designs Heart Frame Die with Sticky Sheet Trick and Dazzle Dust
For this project, I used products from the new Gina K Designs Cheerful Garden Mega Card Kit, including the Heart Frame Die Set and the We Go Together Stamp and Die Set. I also used the Starlight Dazzle Dust Glitter from the Gina K Designs 12 Days of Christmas Box. All products I used in this project are listed below.
Measurements:
Card Base: 4 1/2 x 4 1/2"
4 1/2 x 9", Score at 4 1/2"
Edible Eggplant Panel: 4 x 4"
White Mat: 4 1/8 x 4 1/8"
Inside Panel: 4 x 4"
Product Measurements:
Detail Heart Die: 3 1/2 x 3 1/2"
Square Frame: 3 3/4 x 3 3/4"
Heart Frame Die Set
The Heart Frame Die Set has two pieces, a square frame and a detailed heart. If you use the detailed heart die on its own, it will cut a window into the paper. There is also a coordinating stencil that will add colored detail behind the image openings. For this card, I cut a square panel from Gina K Designs Edible Eggplant cardstock and used the detailed heart die to cut out the beautiful heart image.
I used my Spellbinders Tool ‘n One to remove all of the fall-out pieces, and then was able to easily clean them off my glass mat using my Glassboard Studio CraftCatcher tray. The edge of this tray slips right under the edge of a glass mat, and you can sweep the paper pieces right into the tray and then into the garbage. No more lost pieces under your craft mat!

I made an additional project using the Cheerful Garden Mega Card Kit, where I used the Cheerful Flowers Embossing Folder to make a mini slimline card. I used the new Metallic Black Dots to add some sparkle to the card front. Check out the video and blog post if you want to check out this related project.
Sticky Sheet Trick
I cut a piece of Altenew Double-Sided Adhesive Sheets to fit behind the Edible Eggplant panel, and adhered it to the back of the heart image. The sticky side will then be face up behind the heart image. Next, I poured the Starlight Dazzle Dust over the card front and burnished the glitter into the adhesive sheet using my finger.
Once that was done, I poured the glitter back into the container and used a Swiffer cloth and my CraftCatcher to clean up any leftover glitter. I rubbed the shiny side of the adhesive release paper over the card front to burnish the glitter into the adhesive fully.
Related Playlist:
I have a playlist of all videos related to the Gina K Designs 12 Days of Christmas Box. I did a daily unboxing video, as well as some card projects. The Dazzle Dust colors were revealed on Day 6. You can check out my 12 Days of Christmas playlist and blog posts for more information.
Sentiment
After the heart panel was complete, I used the heart fall-out piece as a scrap, and used the piece to heat emboss a sentiment from the We Go Together Stamp Set. For the heat embossing, I used a Simon Says Stamp Anti-static powder tool, Simon Says Stamp Embossing Ink, and Gina K Designs Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. Once the embossing was complete, I used the coordinating die set to cut out the sentiment, and then used Connect Matte glue to attach the sentiment to the card front.
Inside of Card
For the inside of the card, I cut a square panel from the white cardstock and stamped the mailbox from the We Go Together Stamp Set on the bottom right side of the panel. For the stamping, I used Edible Eggplant ink to match the card base color.
I adhered the panel inside the card base using temporary adhesive, and I will add permanent adhesive once I write out the message. This allows me to replace the panel if I mess up the writing, instead of having to tear the whole card apart.
