This stamp set is perfect for a birthday card — you can add as many candles as you want! I did a rainbow coloring that I didn’t completely love but it was stuck in my head. To kind of cover it up, I used a white gel pen and dotted it all over to create a glittery look. Looks cool right?

Using the colors – blue, red, and. yellow – generally should create the colors of the rainbow. Here, I kinda kept it separated and I’m really love the bright colors. I’m beginning to really love embossing folders, especially the very detailed ones. Add a little black distress ink and it really emphasizes the details!

It’s summertime and limes/lemons are the perfect fruit to create a drink for the summer time! I also love a good shaker and stencils make for a great background — the repeating background kinda works perfectly for the shimmer mix!

This card isn’t my usual card — I actually have a really hard time with pattern paper or pre-printed card fronts so it takes me more brainpower to pull items together. HOWEVER – these card fronts were really pretty and I wanted to use them! How do you think I did?

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. The images also allows me to take advantage of white space for a card! I stamped out my ocean image with Hero Arts Summer Sky Core Ink and that is what my card revolves around. I next stamped out the sailboat, the birds and the sentiment using Intens-ified Black Ink. To add a bit of color to the card, I ink blend Butter Bar, Ultra Pink, Orchid and Summer Sky for a sunset look. I also realized after the fact that my “ocean” was actually meant to be clouds BUT I guess that just shows how versatile this set is!
My second project features the Clear Set + Dies of the Month, which features mermaids and seahorses. I really wanted to do a scene card BUT I opted to go for a simple one to challenge myself since I find the harder for me. I picked out three Hero Hues reactive ink colors: Blue Hawaii, Pool Party, and Splash along with a card panel of the Luxe Watercolor Paper to do some ink smooshing! I used a plastic bag to achieve this fun look — first by adding the ink to a palette or glass mat, spraying a little water and picking up the color with the plastic bag and transferring it to the watercolor paper. My tip is to not use much water so you can get some of that texture. I stamped the mermaid and seahorse, coloring them up with copic markers before using the coordinating die set to cut them out to add to the card panel, which I matted on Peacock 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!

Honey Bee Stamps has recently been releasing cling stamps that are just so detailed and gorgeous. They make for such a great backdrop or taking the focus of a card. This card makes for a great retirement card, or a new beginning card, and leans more masculine, which are always cards that are harder for me to create.

Hi friends — We’re kicking off the countdown to the July Hero Studio release today and I’m sharing a card using one of the Monthly Minis – Cling Stamp of the Month. For the Monthly Mini – Cling Stamp of the Month, it will be available by subscription at a discounted price ($15 subscription + Free Shipping) or at regular price ($15.99), while supplies last. Available until sold out.
I wanted to feature this really fun cling stamp, which gives you ocean vibes with all the tentacles. There’s a lot going on but once you start coloring, it makes it really easy. I stamped this using the Hero Arts INTENSI-ified Black Ink and the easiest way for me to color this up is to do a bit of ink blending using three colors from the Core Ink line: Butter Bar, Fresh Lawn, and Summer Sky.
Once I inked up the entire panel , I took my black alcohol marker to color up the background, making the tentacles really pop! I used some similar copic markers to add a bit of darker details on the spots of the tentacles.
Now I don’t do this often, but I decided to cut this colored panel up a bit so I could create an artsy look. I really love how it turned out. To finish off this card, I pulled out the Happy Thanks stamp set for a simple sentiment.
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!
This latest release from Pretty Pink Posh has been really amazing — it leans a little more towards the boys, men in your life but also versatile for any sports lover. Masculine cards are generally hard for me and with these sets — it makes it a lot easier! What do you think?

I love this little piggie. Her face is just so sweet and I’m really loving all the details in this stencil. You can easily mass produce each step and have cards at the ready to give away. Sometimes, I’ll even leave off a sentiment to add on later to fit the occasion I need it for.

Simple scene cards are those kind of cards that are easy to stamp and put together a scene. This works even better when you can do some easy ink blending to pull everything together! I use a couple copic markers and this card comes together so quickly.

I’ll admit, I have a tendency to get stuck on colors when I make cards sometimes — this one is another monotone card that uses mini ice cream cones for a fun and yummy card!
