With just a few supplies you can create your own. For ease I concentrated on just 3 colors and 1 set of related Art Foamies. There are many how to gel printing videos on YouTube, check them out if you’re unfamiliar with gel plate printing.
Art Foamies used:
After the paint dries, cover the gel plate with white gesso and use as an ink pad. Stamp an Art Foamie onto the plate and stamp on to the notecard.
The other technique is to use the gel plate as an ink pad. Create your colors on the gel plate. Art Foamies work great with this technique because they don’t move around, making it easier to get a good image. Stamp on to the plain notecards.

An easy way to embellish the cards is adding some touches with black or white paint pens
