Card #1: Repeating Words

To create this card, I stamped out the sentiment, “ETERNALLY GRATEFUL” 5 times on Adriatic Cardstock and heat embossed them all in White Embossing Powder. Then, I trimmed them all down to leave a thin border around each one. Next, I added some Pine Ink to some Adriatic Cardstock to darken it up a bit, then created rectangle blocks to back the words. I popped them all up on a piece of Kiwi Cardstock using foam tape. Next, I trimmed down the Kiwi Cardstock to leave a thin border around the rectangles. Then, I layered it all onto some Canary Cardstock and then to a Dove White card base.

To finish off the card, I heat embossed the final sentiment: “for your friendship” in white on some Pitch Black Cardstock. This repeated word technique I picked up from Online Card Classes Spring Card Camp #2!

Card #2 I Love You

For my second card, I created a more straightforward project with the main image of the stamp set.

To begin, I added some Berry Smothie & Taffy Hero Hues Reactive Ink and to the edges of some Ivory cardstock with a blender brush. Next, I stamped out the main heart image with the same colors, blending them right on the stamp with a blender brush. I repeated this process with the smaller hearts in the stamp set. Finally, i stamped the sentiment in Intens-ified Black Ink and popped up the panel onto the font of a Dove White card base with foam tape.
