Today is Day 1 of 2 days of blog hops! I'll have links to all the stops on today's hop lower down in my post - plus there's a GIVEAWAY as well!
Here's what I created for the hop:
I went full rainbow with my cards and used the new Faceted Stripes Stencil and my Hero Arts Reactive inks. After blending the inks over the stencils I used 2 different glitter pastes over them to get 2 completely different looks!
I then ran a piece of Simon's 120lb white card stock through my 3" Xyron machine and then die cut it with the Today Will Be Awesome wafer die. After cutting 2 of the mat panels with black card stock I got 2 die cut sentiments from the white - only adhering the letters to one and the outline to the other. Both die cut sentiments were adhered to the cards with Simon's Big Momma Foam tape.
As a final embellishment to the front I added some die cut hearts from Simon's Mini Heart Set that I coated with Nuvo Crystal Glaze to give them dimension and shine.
I finished off the insides of the cards with a sentiment and hearts from the Greetings Mix 1 stamp set. The sentiment was white heat embossed on black card stock then die cut with one of the Nested Banners wafer dies. I stamped the hearts with the same Reactive inks I used on the front and that was it!
To see how my cards came together check out my video below:

I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
