Circular Pattern | Trinity Stamps

Ok — I’ll admit that I haven’t used my Altenew Stamp Wheel enough and I really should. It is the best little stamper, especially when you want to create an easy circular pattern without much effort and even more so, when you have small images to use with it!

Alcohol Ink Die Cuts | Picket Fence Studios

I haven’t played with alcohol inks in quite a bit of time. Crafty supplies kinda cycle and I pulled these alcohol inks back out. I really wanted my favorite mix of colors — pink, blue and purple. Yupo paper was a bit hard to die cut out but remember to use a metal shim just to make sure it cuts. I also love how this little window works perfectly with the feathers!

DIY Backgrounds | Erin Lee Creative

You definitely can’t always find the exact supplies for what you want to make. Here, I wanted to create the Lover house so I did it myself. I just pulled up a picture, grabbed a pencil and a ruler and tried to recreate it. It’s a simple background but I really wanted the sentiment to shine.

Coloring but Not Coloring | Picket Fence Studios

I saw this image and fell in love but I really didn’t feel like coloring all the details but I wanted color. I went ahead, stamped this image out and then used a ruler to create lines. I colored it in with a rainbow array of colors and then I used greys and a little blue green to add a bit of dimension. It turned out great!

Hero Arts March MMH Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the March 2024 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts. There’s a ton of inspiration and the full blog lineup can be found on the Hero Arts blog. You should be coming from Rachel Kleinman‘s blog and your next stop will be Seeka. The full blog list will be updated below! This month’s collection focuses on peace, love and kindness! Here is a peek at the Classic Kit:

The Classic Kit includes:

  • Clear Stamp Set, 6” x 8”
  • Frame Cuts
  • Cover Plate Window Die
  • 2 Rub-On Transfer Sheets
  • 3 Ink Cubes (Cherry, Periwinkle & Deep Ocean)

and the Premium Kit (along with the Classic kit items) includes:

  • Clear Stamp Set, 4” x 6”
  • Frame Cuts
  • Translucent Pinks Hero Hues Enamel Dot

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and add ons!

The first card focuses on the Classic Kit. I’ll admit that I’m not a big fan of solid stamps because my preference is just to color but one that builds a scene in this sketchy kind of way along with silhouettes is something I can get behind. I used the 6″ x 8″ stamp set along with the Periwinkle, Deep Ocean, Cherry and INTENS-ified black ink pads to stamp this scene up. You can create any type of scene you’d like and interchange all the silhouette images. It’s so fun and easy! I also couldn’t resist using the Rub-On Transfer Sheets to add a little flair to the card. It reminds me of those old asian paintings with the scene and then the writing over it — exactly what this card looks like.

My second project features a one of this month’s add ons set, the Ramen Bundle and the Origami Paper Bold Prints. I love split card designs, it’s usually a great way to use up pattern paper or add some interest to a card. I stamped the Origami Paper Bold Prints on both white and Cherry Cardstock using the Cherry Core Ink. I used half of it on one side, half on another side. Then I stamped some of the images and sentiments from the Ramen Bundle using Cranberry Core Ink and placed them on my card panel.

Here’s a little video for this card above:

Giveaway:

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