I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and one of the Extraordinary Extras.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. This was a really fun stamp set where I wanted to use all the images from the main stamp set and I did just that! I went ahead and arranged almost all the images onto a card panel along with one of the sentiments. I stamped my card panel with Intens-ified Black Ink. You definitely can use the coordinating die cuts in the set but I chose to stamp and mask off the images. I wanted to use the Holiday Treats Cling to stamp the background behind all the images. I stamped that with Moss ink. Then all I needed to do was color it up!  

My second project focuses on the Cling Stamp of the Month, which I paired with an older stamp set called Winter Town Cheer Stamps. Admittedly, this cling stamp has a lot going on, however, I really didn’t want to color up every last bit — imagine how many markers I would be using! I decided to first create a holiday rainbow card panel. The colors include Red, Orange, Yellow and Green, and I pulled out the cardstocks Kiwi, Canary, Papaya, and Cherry. I trimmed down some strips and adhered them to an A2 card panel. Then I went ahead an stamped the Cling Stamp with Intens-ified Black Ink. I used coordinating alcohol markers to color in the background, but made sure they were just a TAD darker so the images would pop. To finish off the card, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Winter Town Cheer on Pitch Black Cardstock using White Embossing Powder.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed the two cards I shared today using some of the new Hero Studio collection. Hope you were inspired to create!
