Creating Senior Sweeties Valentines is a Breeze

Gel Press has a challenge and it’s a sweet one. Here’s the details.

I was thrilled to participate in this challenge and spread some cheer to those in retirement or nursing homes. I also plan on sending some to a couple of seniors I personally know that are sick with the yucky Covid. It’s so important to let them know that others are thinking of them!

Creating cards are easy and fun! I used a few items to make different cards, but each turned out so unique. With the Gel Press plate, backgrounds are simple, fun and quick. The plates come in several different sizes and shapes like a heart, perfect for Valentines.

Supplies:

It's easy to make awesome unique cards with Gel Press products. Share some love this Valentine's Day and send cards to Seniors in homes.

The How To:

  • Using Your Gel Press 5 x 7 plate create background prints for cards by using acrylics and texture stamp.
  • Create prints on your heart gel plate using acrylic and script stamp
  • Trim your prints with a paper trimmer or deckle scissors to fit your card base and adhere.
  • Cut out heart prints.
  • Stamp and emboss a sentiment by using embossing ink, powder and heat tool
  • Adhere the heart to the card
  • Die cut Hello x 2 (one for a shadow) and adhere together. Adhere the hello to the card with tape runner or adhesive pop dots.
  • Finish off by splattering a some spray ink on the card
