Tips from the show

• Line up the heart registration system on each layer; the rest of the design will look after itself.
• You can batch-make these by stamping all layer ones on multiple cards, then all layer twos, and so on for efficiency.
• If you only have one shade of green, start light and press harder on each subsequent layer to create depth.
