There are so sets where I have to think about it a bit to create a card with, even if it’s really cute! Pretty Pink Posh has a line of these circular images, which honestly are perfect for holiday tags — super fun and perfectly shaped. As a cardmaker who tends to lean towards scene cards, it’s harder for me to use them on my cards but I actually have a few ideas for this set and it’s super cute!
Reminder! This is a stamp set that is part of Stamptember — once it’s gone it’s gone.

Stamps always come with coordinating dies — but have you seen stencils with coordinating dies? I’m pretty sure they aren’t new to the market but I haven’t used them. I inked the entire 6×6 stencil and then strategically picked which portion to trim off so I could use the dies to get images. It’s pretty cool! I didn’t need to ink this up twice.

Sometimes a simple card is really the way to go. I love big and bold florals but without the detail. It really allows for you to create an easy card. I didn’t even color the entire space! I added a bit of color and that’s really all you need!

Hi friends! There have been so many amazing projects already shared in the past day of the blog hop and there’s so much inspiration today as well! Be sure to check it all out and today’s lineup!
For today, I’m sharing this card that was inspired by Andy Warhol. I take a lot of inspiration from everything around me and tend to think “oh that could be a card”. This one is no exception but to be honest, it’s also inspired by the song Apple by Charli XCX.
First, I started off to by dividing up my card panel into 9 sections, each that will hold the image from the Patterned Apples stamp set. Since there are three different sizes, I wanted to use them all and vary them throughout the panel.
This stamp set has the outline image as well as the solid image. This saves the trouble of coloring but I love dimension, so I had to do an additional step to give it just that added touch. I stamped the image with my base color, then I used a darker color adding it to the edges and blending it out a little bit before stamping again. This is where my Misti comes into play!
To finish this card off, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Patterned Apples stamp set, which fit perfectly in the middle of this card and I love that this card was inspired by two different things in my life!
Here’s a fun quick video of the process:

Knowing how to pick out the right colors — I wouldn’t know anything about it. I’m terrible at it honestly. It’s why I tend to google “_____ color palette” all the time. It helps me see all the different options and then go from there. This palette was picked out by google and it worked perfectly for a fall nighttime sky.

Solid stamping is great — but it’s usually not my cup of tea. Layered solid stamping is great too because it adds dimension to your images, but also not really my style. However, I don’t mind floral solid stamping where you can kinda just stamp offset and it looks more whimsical. I stuck with the lines for the birdie but for the florals, I didn’t try so hard — and you don’t need to.

Masking isn’t always needed — here, I just ink blended on top on the side of my card panel and because of the colors I used, I kept it light so I could easily cover over it with copic markers. Ugh — I just love fall cards so much!

Halloween scenes are fun and spooky but how about using a bit of white ink to add to your scene. For this card, I just used my fingers to create the clouds and it gives the card a mysterious air to it!

Halloween cards — I love them. It’s kinda when I bring out random tricks, like this one. I use ink blending to create a glowy look to the card and it really adds to the spooky vibe of the scene.

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. Hero Arts does silhouettes well and they are perfect for creating a little scene. I wanted to play with white space for a simple card. I masked off about two inches for the top, and ink blended five different colors for a fun and bright background. I used Grape Juice, Butter Bar, Azalea, Cornflower, and Papaya.
My second project focuses on the Haunted Romance Fancy Dies, which is one of the Extraordinary Extras. I also paired it with the September Fancy Dies of the Month called Mirror Portraits. I die cut items from using different cardstocks for a bit of variety, but I did use copic markers for the rose die cut from the Haunted Romance Fancy Die because I wanted the added details. Once I had all my pieces, I arranged them on a panel of Cranberry Cardstock, which I darken up the edges of with Charcoal Core Ink. I also stamped out a sentiment from the Halloween Messages stamp set to finish off 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!

Solid stamps — it’s not always the easiest to get an even layer for stamping and even harder to get a nice ombre. When I don’t want to worry about stamping it choppy, I like to enlist the help of a gel press and brayer. It really helps get that even ink and perfect blend on a large solid stamp.

Hi friends — We’re kicking off the countdown to the September Hero Studio release today and I’m sharing a card using the Card Kit of the Month.
I wanted to feature the main stamp set in this month’s card kit. It’s full of silhouettes and it’s so fun for Halloween! I did a lot of stamping with Hero Arts INTENSI-ified Black Ink and Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink right on top so I could do a bit of heat embossing using Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder. It was a lot of stamping but there’s a huge variety of silhouettes to choose from to create a fun scene and I wanted to use as many images as possible.
Once I stamped and heat embossed everything, I pulled out a bunch of core ink colors to do some ink blending. I used Charcoal and Forever Green for the ground. For the lights in the house and the bats in the moon, I used Butter Bar. For the sky, I used Nautical, Grape Juice, and Crimson.
Head over to the Hero Arts blog for more inspiration using the Hero Studio collection leading up to the release! And then I’ll be back for the Hero Studio blog hop with a couple more projects to share!
