Hearts of Elegance ~ Negative Cut Technique

Welcome back!!! Let's stamp more, stress less!!!

Surprise Inside!!

It's been a long time since I used this technique and what better time of year than "love season"? 

I love how the small strips of patterned paper on the white background give the illusion that this is harder than what it really is.  Then using the die cut of the heart on the inside (I call it the negative cut technique) is the cherry on top!  

It really is super easy.  Check out my quick video to show how it all comes together.  Then the products used and dimensions are listed below.
