In this video I show you my process for making Lino prints, featuring this heart filled with flowers for Valentine's Day, plus an illustrated floral letter 'F'. I show you how I transfer my design, carve the block and print my Lino blocks with gold and coloured ink onto different colours of paper, getting everything ready for listing the prints onto Etsy. I use an X-Cut Xpress for printing.

Here are the supplies I use:

I got my x-cut here: therange.co.uk/arts-and-crafts/die-cutting/machines/xcut-xpress-die-cutting-machine/#717332

* Here's the link to the cutting tools I use. I have long since lost the packaging but believe I have 12/1, 9/2 and 9/5.
