I love a big stamp set that you just stamp and color! It’s the perfect image to take your mind off of all the things.

Ornaments are super intricate, even in stamp form. Whenever I have to color them, I choose to go with simple by using one color to color it all! Then, I use a bit of a cheat by way of a sparkly pen! That pen can color right over your one color for all the little intricate details and voila! you’re done!

Detailed images can steal the show but they also can be used in a subtle way. I use them in both ways here. I think you focus on the gingerbread house in the middle though and then you can see all the other details after.

The holidays are kinda overwhelming and every year, I tell myself I’ll get ahead of the game and every year, I’m in the same place. Mass producing cards makes life a little easier and well, you can also use up your scraps! Win win!

I like easy interactive cards and ones that you can do different things with. This one is an example of that because you can use it as intended OR you can do something different. There’s a whole mechanism for this one for a pull but I wanted to use it to create a shaker and that’s what I did!

I have a ton of embellishments and honestly, I need to use them more for shaker cards. It’s usually pretty easy to create an image, use one of these pockets, add embellishments and add something right in front.

Gotta love the rainbow colors for a change from the cozy, jewel toned notes of Christmas. Don’t get me wrong, the holidays are filled with my favorite colors but I just love the sentiment Merry and Bright and love to bring in the rainbow colors.

Lights are the most obvious item to light up on a card. It adds a nice touch to a card when you can add lights that will surprise your recipient.

Black ink is pretty harsh especially on white, but when you stamp on pattern paper, it ends up being a pretty subtle look. I went with really simple for this card — stamping, and adding a sentiment.

Smaller images are harder to create a scene since you need to use more to fill up the space BUT if you use a large die cut sentiment, you can place the images within and fill up the space that way.

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 Card Kit contains a ton of fun pieces that you can make a colorful card. I did a very simple card using the reinkers with water to create a light watercolor background. Then I stamped the images and sentiments for a very simple card.
My second project focuses on the stamp set from the Extraordinary Extras, Floral Rainbow & Clouds. I stamepd and colored the rainbow and used it as a border to use it outside of its ordinary use. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and sentiments and placed it on top of cardstock.
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!
