DIY Gel Press Card & Ways to Show Your Friends Love

These days can bring many challenges. People are stressed, worried, uncertain and in need of some reminders that they are loved. I thought I’d share a recent card I made with my Gel Press Heart Petite plate which can be found HERE or HERE.. It’s a simple and easy card but made with ‘heart.’

I simply used Staz-On permanent ink to stamp images onto the Gel Press Petite Heart plate. I let the Staz-On ink dry, then pulled the print by brayering a think layer of Royal Talens pink paint over the stamped image.. I then cut out the hearts and sewed them to the front of the card.

I plan on sending the card to a close friend. Speaking of friends, I was pondering several ways to show dear friends my love. We need more love these days.

• Be there for your friend during the valleys and difficult times.
• Be a great listener.
• In today’s busy world, nothing spells love like making time for your friend. Go to dinner, do something you both enjoy, or just take a walk together.
• Reach out and just ask how your friend(s) are doing.
• Make sure you acknowledge and celebrate their accomplishments.
• Experience something new together such as a an escape room or taking a trip to a new place.

You can make a difference in your corner of the world as you love those around you.
