The first four were done with a techniques I saw Kristina Werner do on her YouTube channel. I clear embossed the background designs on Kraft card stock, then applied a variety of Distress Inks to get an Ombre effect. Then I inked up another piece of Kraft card stock with the same inks and die cut the various "hello" greetings from Paper Smooches to match, which I popped up using the sentiment dies cut from Kraft colored "Fun Foam". I used the Mama Elephant die set "Madison Avenue Framed Tags" to cut out the 3 frames and popped them up with foam tape. As a note, the arrow background is from Heidi Swapp, the other two the makers are unknown to me.
The 4th card also has a frame cut with the "Madison Avenue Framed Tags" die set, but the frame was mounted behind the colored panel. That one uses the "you are loved" sentiment die from Paper Smooches and the "Sketch Heart" die from Simon Says Stamp. The scalloped frame and the hearts were cut from glitter card stock from Recollections.
The last one is made by cutting about 8 of the "All Heart Cover Panel" die from Reverse Confetti in 110 lb white card stock and adhering them all together and adhering them to a card stock base. The heart shaped "wells" were then filled in with Sepia Glossy Accents (which looks pink to me) and allowed to dry. Then tiny gemstones were added to the top of each heart and each corner. The center sentiment was stamped and embossed in white using Versafine embossing ink and fine white embossing powder on black card stock, and a sentiment from the Reverse Confetti "Crazy About You" stamp set.
As a finishing touch on the first three, various enamel dots and gemstones were attached. I LOVE those clear blue enamel dots! I found them several years ago at JoAnn's and bought 2 packages. I am going to be so sad when they are gone since I haven't seen them since! :(
Finally, all the card fronts were adhered to card bases.
