Hero Arts Holiday 2024 Catalog Blog Hop

August 22, 2024August 22, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Die Cuts, Hero Arts40 Comments

Happy Holiday Catalog Day! Hero Arts will be giving away two $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left along the hop. Comment on all the blogs for more chances to win! You have until Wednesday, August 28th at 11:59pm PT to enter. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.

Today, I’m sharing a card featuring one of the sets from the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog release called Cozy Study. I tend to gravitate towards cards that can easily create scenes because of all the possibilities. You can create a full scene, use the smaller elements to create a background, or even create a mini scene — there’s so many ideas to work with!

For this card, I decided to create a subtle mini scene with a focus on one main image. I decided to mask off half my Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock card panel so I could focus my scene on the top half. I stamped the fireplace, dog, books, candle, and clock with Clear Embossing and Watermark Ink, then covered it with White Embossing Powder, and heat set it. Since embossing powder resists ink, I wanted to do some ink blending right on top to bring color to the top part of this card. I used the colors Spicy Mustard, Moss, and Crimson Core Inks along with the Hero Arts Tool Medium Blending Brushes. I’ll use a microfiber cloth to wipe off any excess ink as well.

My main image was going to be the cozy chair but I decided to also add the sleeping cat right on top. I wanted it to look clean, so I decided to do a bit of masking. I stamped the cat first with Intens-ified Black Ink, masked him, and then stamped the couch right on top. I’ll remove the mask, fussy cut the couch and color it up with copic markers.

I trimmed my card panel just a quarter of an inch so the panel would be 4 x 5.25 and added the panel right on top of an A2 piece of Woodland cardstock so the brown will peek out on the left hand side matching the chair. My last touch was to add the sentiment, stamped with Intens-ified Black Ink right next to the couch. My images and focus pulls to the top of the card, leaving white space but it works very well here.

Thank you for joining me today for the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog blog hop. I hope you have feel inspired with all the different projects and ideas!

Aerial shots of any item requires me to set it on top of a desk and color. This one was easy to decide what to do but this set is sneaky, it’s really versatile — there’s a lot of uses for it! As easy idea for this one is to create a shaped card as well!

One Marker Coloring | Honey Bee Stamps

August 17, 2024Posted in UncategorizedLeave a comment

I tend to use a ton of markers to color but there are times where I’m pretty lazy and want a softer look. Using lighter markers and using white space really works for lazy coloring! It’s definitely a softer look but I love it!

August New Release Blog Hop + Giveaway | Pretty Pink Posh

August 13, 2024August 18, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Pretty Pink Posh42 Comments

Welcome to Pretty Pink Posh‘s August 2024 Release Blog Hop! Be sure to check out the latest release from Pretty Pink Posh. Before we jump into my project for the hop, there’s a total of three $30 gift certificates up for grabs (one winner each day) for this 3 day blog hop! Winners will be picked randomly along the blog hop. Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 8/19/2024. Winners will be announced on the Pretty Pink Posh blog.

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 fun card that I created using quite a few sets from the new release. I love how you can mix and match! It comes together perfectly for a fun Halloween card!

First, I started off to create my background using the Halloween Words Stencil along with Distress Mica Stains: Jack O Lantern, Fortune Teller, and Wicked Elixer. Using the sprays just allows me to quick stencil this up, without having it be “perfect”. I love how the colors mix together so well.

Next, I die cut all the items I want to use from the Big Halloween Cupcake, Spooky Mug Additions, and Ghost Holder die sets. For these, I just colored them in using copic markers. I love the dimension you can add and it also gives your images a “no line coloring” look.

To finish this card off, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Upright Greetings stamp set. This fit perfectly on the side of my card panel and finishes off this fun Halloween card.

Be sure to stop by the previous days of inspiration for the Pretty Pink Posh blog!

You gotta love elements that appeal to the little boys and girls who love everything construction! My nephew is one of those kids who is absolutely entralled and I think I’ll be creating more of these in the future! I especially love the border I created around the card for that added extra touch.

You can’t see it in the photos but this vellum really adds to the butterfly die cuts, giving them a magical look. I love that you can choose to not glue down the wings and it adds volume to a card that you normally don’t get.

Hero Studio August Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

August 5, 2024August 6, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Blog Hop, Giveaway, Hero Arts11 Comments

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the August 2024 Hero Studio collection from Hero Arts and remember, there’s 6 subscription options: 1) Card Kit of the Month 2) Clear Set + Dies of the Month 3) Fancy Die of the Month 4) Layering Stencil Set of the Month 5) Cling of the Month and 6) Whole Studio (all 5 in one!).

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the August Card Kit of the Month.

Includes:

• Jungle HeroScape Clear Stamp Set, 6″ x 8″
• 12 Coordinating Dies
• 5 Fancy Dies
• Jungle Scenics Stencil, 6″ x 6″
• Olive Hero Wax
• White Plastic Palette Knife
• 3 Reactive Ink Cubes (Key Lime Fizz, Green Apple, Fruit Punch)
• 2 Reactive Glitz Ink Pads (French Pink, Byzantine Green)
• 5 Printed Sticker Sheets, 6″ x 6″

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

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and the Clear Set + Dies of the Month.

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 also wanted to play with creating a side bar with the dies that come in the card kit as well. I used the larger palm leaf die and cut two of them out of Kiwi cardstock placing them on top of a 1.75 inch strip of Palm cardstock. Then, I used a mix of Deep Ocean and Periwinkle core inks paired with Intensified Black ink to create the little scene on the right hand side. To add a little something extra, I lightly inked Butter Bar on the edge of the card for a bit of color.

My second project features the Fancy Die of the Month, which features Jungle Vines and Critters. I couldn’t resist taking my copic markers to the die cut window but I took a few liberties creating my own oval shape for the frame. Once I finished coloring, I just popped it on top of Pitch Black cardstock so my colored die cut would really pop. For the sentiment, I pulled out the Everyday Sentiment Strips along with the Sentiment Strips Fancy Die for a simple one. I thought that the “Wishing You All The Luck” works so well with this 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!

Giveaway:

Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, August 11th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

Color Cardstock Coloring | Picket Fence Studios

August 2, 2024August 4, 2024Posted in Uncategorized3 Comments

I love coloring but sometimes, you just don’t need to. I do love tone on tone stamping right on top of a similar color of cardstock and to give it just a bit more, I use copic colors to add a bit of dimension. Also, yes, I know it’s early for fall but I don’t really card — it’s my favorite season and my favorite cards are usually in the coming months!
