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!

Scene cards are made easier when you can use ink blending to quickly color up the background to create the scene you need. Here I used brown for the sand and then blue for the ocean… of course, I had to pick some pretty colors for a sunset sky as well.

When I first started making cards, I picked colors with no rhyme or reason… and although that is absolutely fine, sometimes, it just needed look cohesive. The trick is to incorporate the same color palette throughout!

I love all the detailed images from a red rubber stamp but sometimes it’s a little too much to color! It’s easy to stamp a bunch on them to create an easy background paired with a simple sentiment.

I’m used to blending brushes or a ink blending tool, but these pint sized pouncers are great for stenciling but also for creating skies! I love the effect of these pouncers for mimicking clouds!

Sometimes I play with white space and here is an example of that. I focus my ink blending on the left hand side of my card panel. This was particularly a perfect match with one of the newest Trinity releases stamp sets where the images are stacked on top of each other in one image.
