CARD DETAILS
I kept all 3 cards fairly simple, which was easy to do with the size of these fonts and designs.
For this first friendship card, I began by stamping the tribal herringbone pattern stamp from the Backgrounds & Borders Stamp Set
US|
UK vertically down the left side of a piece of black cardstock cut to A2 size. I used white pigment ink and then heat embossed it with white EP.
To add some color I used chalk markers and metallic gel pens to color in some of the spaces of the pattern.
I then lined up the dies from the
Backgrounds & Borders Stamp Die Set and die cut all three words from the panel. At this point, I glued the panel to the card base. This then made it easy to see the negative spaces and line up all the letters. For each word, I then stacked 3 die-cut layers together and glued each letter back into the corresponding place. I used the gold cardstock from the Gold Hearted Paper Pad

UK.
This next card turned out to be my favorite and it was super simple to make. To add the embossing detail to the center of the hexagons I lined up and taped the circle embossing plates to the linked hexagon die openings and then ran it through the die-cut machine. I repeated this using 3 types of cardstocks, three times. Gold cardstock comes from the Gold Hearted Pad
US|
UK and the silver glitter comes from the Silver Service Pad

UK.
I then started by gluing the gold hexagon strip along the bottom edge, followed by the glitter one and then the black one. Even though these all nest together, I liked the look of the white peeking through the background. The space in between was all eyeballed. As you can see I then finished off the top by slicing the top edge off of the hexagon strip. With the piece that was cut off, I then used it to finish off the bottom and cut off any excess.
For this sentiment, I used the Hey You stamp from the stamp set that was stamped and heat set in white on black cardstock and then used the circle die to cut it out. I then just popped it up with foam tape and added it to one of the black hexagons.
This last card was also fun to make, I love how these stamps and dies work together so effortlessly.
For this card, I die cut the top and the bottom using the same arrow die-cut design. I then cut the center area using the irregular dot design die.
Moving along, I stamped the in-between spaces using multiple stamps to create stamped borders. Here again, I used metallic gel pens to add some color to the card.
I then glued silver glitter and gold cardstock strips in behind the openings and then glued the panel to the card base.
Next, I die cut, stacked, and glued together the letters using the MISS die and glued them onto the center-right of the card panel. To finish off the greeting I stamped the YOUR FACE from the stamp set onto a black strip of paper that I trimmed and then popped up just below it.
You know which one of these cards was my favorite, but I would love to know which one you liked the most? Make sure you let me know in the comments below 😉
