There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup can be found on the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Jennifer Kotas‘s blog and your next stop will be Charlene Madrid. The full blog list will also be updated below.

I have two cards to share with you today featuring the Card Kit of the Month and the Die Set of the Month.

My first project focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. I wanted to use the layering disco ornaments in the stamp set, it’s fun because you can stamp all the parts and essentially coloring the entire ornament in. I decided to go with monotone colors of pink using Cotton Candy, Ultra Pink and Azalea and I also used Crimson for the ornament holder. It was so fun and I also stamped matching bows.

For my card panel itself, I thought it would be fun to split the panel, and add Fern cardstock to the left hand side and I stamped the pine tree leaves with Moss and Forever Green core inks for an additional monotone look. For the right hand side, I stamped the sentiment with Cotton Candy ink to pull it all together. To finish off the card with an additional touch, I used a sparkly silver pen to create the ornament string. I love the untraditional holiday color combo of pink and green!

The second card focuses on the October Die Set of the Month. I love that this is a set full of lights, and it’s the perfect accompaniment for any holiday card. I decided to pair the lights with the FREE Merry Everything die set that you receive with the Whole Studio. I chose to cut the Die Set of the Month using a variety of the cardstocks included in the Card Kit of the Month: Fern, Beeswax, Seaside, and Poppy. For the Merry Everything die, I used the gold matte cardstock found in the Card Kit of the Month.

Once I die cut all the items and place them together, I decided to pull out my colored pencils to add a little something extra to the lights so they look like they glow. I think it’s a fun look to the card and adds that extra something special to the card.

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!
