Monoprinted and Stenciled Valentine’s Cards with The Crafter’s Workshop and Gel Press

Hey there! It’s Gracie again with another cardmaking idea for Valentine’s Day! This time I went overboard and created a bunch of cards using the Gel Press printing plate together with TCW’s Heavy Body Paints and Black Modeling Paste and a super cool stencil that made this design pop! I also have a quick video showing you how I created these backgrounds.

Most supplies used to create these projects were provided by The Crafter’s Workshop and Gel Press, nevertheless all opinions found on this post are my own.

While preparing this project idea I rediscovered my love for monoprinting and also discovered a new obsession: Black Modeling Paste… The Crafter’s Workshop does an AMAZING job with all their product lines and their mixed media pastes are no exception… These modeling pastes are so thick and easy to apply and they add so much dimension, texture and color to your projects!

Video Tutorial

Here is a quick video tutorial showing you the basic steps of the process for these backgrounds. The cards themselves are really easy to put together once you have the backgrounds ready. As you can see, for some cards I simply die cut a large heart from the stenciled backgrounds and added them to a black card base. For a couple other cards I also added an SVG word that I cut on my Cricut and attached that to the card front.
