Check out the video below.

Card #1 - Over the Moon
Print Over the Moon digital stamp on Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock and copier paper with a laser printer. Turn on laminator to heat up and be ready. Cut the Rose Gold Deco Foil with a quick trimmer to the size of the printed image. Place piece of trimmed to size Rose Gold Deco Foil (pretty/shiny side up) on printed image and place into a folded sheet of copier paper, which will serve a a carrier sheet. Run through carrier sheet which holds the printed image and Rose Gold Deco Foil through the laminator. Tip: I used a very old and cheap laminator, so I had to run the carrier sheet through the laminator five times! However if you have a new laminator, once or twice should do the trick. Note: As the image printed does not have bold lines, thus the foiling on the image is very subtle and can be seen when the light hits the image at some angles.
Fussy cut the image on the copier paper to use as a mask after spraying the back with repositionable adhesive spray. Place Over the Moon created mask over the image and place My Favorite Things Cloud stencil and Waffle Flower Slimline Cloud stencil, one after the other and apply Distress Ink Tumbled Glass and Broken China with ink blending tools with domed foams.
Remove mask and colour image with Copic markers. After colouring image use Uni Pin Fine Line 0.1 pens, black and light grey to outline the image and make it pop.
To add another dimension to the card, die cut image with Spellbinders Essential Ovals Die Set, back with dark blue card and another two layers of card with liquid glue.
Trim card panel to slightly smaller than card base and swipe Distress Ink Uncharted Mariner to edges of card panel to make it pop before adhering to card panel with double-sided tape. Attach die cut layered oval to oval on card panel with liquid glue.
Die cut some hearts in red metallic card using the Simon Says Stamp Mini Hearts Party Die. Attach the heart die cuts of various sizes and that’s the card finished!
Card #2 - Happiness
Print Happiness digital stamp on Neenah Solar White Cardstock. Turn on laminator to heat up and be ready. Cut the Pink Melon Deco Foil with a quick trimmer to the size of the printed image. Place piece of trimmed to size Pink Melon Deco Foil (pretty/shiny side up) on printed image and place into a folded sheet of copier paper, which will serve a a carrier sheet. Run through carrier sheet which holds the printed image and Pink Melon Deco Foil through the laminator. Tip: I used a very old and cheap laminator, so I had to run the carrier sheet through the laminator five times! However if you have a new laminator, once or twice should do the trick. Note: As the image printed does not have bold lines, thus the foiling on the image is very subtle and can be seen when the light hits the image at some angles.
Colour image with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. Outlining some of the vines with a green colour pencil does make the image pop.
Die cut image with Altenew Nesting Frames die and attach another two die cut layers for dimension.
For the background, emboss a pink card with Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month, Jan ‘23, Stylized Trellis, which is a 2D Embossing Folder. Flip over to use the debossed pattern. Gently apply white pigment ink over the debossed image. Cut down the debossed card panel to cover the card base front and adhere with double-sided tape.
Die cut some hearts in rose pink metallic card using the Simon Says Stamp Mini Hearts Party Die. Attach the heart die cuts of various sizes and that’s the card finished!
