Pattern paper works well as a base and then you can add to them to create the look you want. I did that here with a piece from the Textiles & Textures Vintage paper pack and this card really came to life!

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!

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:
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.

Quick backgrounds are my favorite — You don’t have to worry too much about the images because it becomes your focal point, especially when they shimmer.
I detail my steps over on the Hero Arts blog so be sure to check it out!

Sometimes you don’t need much to achieve the look you want. The newest Honey Bee Stamps release makes it really easy to achieve a vintagey look and I love it. The background stamp is so pretty that it really only needs a strong focal image.

Toner foil card fronts is the cardmaking cheat code — it creates such an easy card quickly, by running it through your laminator with some foil for that added glimmer OR you can leave it as is. Did you know that you can ink blend right over the foil and it’ll resist the ink? It allows you to add some color and it’s pretty!

There’s no such thing as too much glimmer! I used a silvery paste along with perfect pearls to add shimmer. I also used a white gel pen to create a faux glitter look to my die cut sentiment. Best believe — I can still make the whole card shimmer.

A large stencil — it’s great to fill up an entire panel but I couldn’t help add just a bit more color for it to really pop! Add a sentiment and that’s really all you need.

Hi friends, today, I’m sharing a card I created using the Sneak Peek Club kit No. 2 for 2024 from Waffle Flower Crafts. The Sneak Peek Club kit is a monthly subscription that allows you to play with a handful of Waffle Flower products about a month before their official release date. Check out more inspiration on Waffle Flower’s blog as well!
For today’s card, I totally fell in love with these little strawberries in the Multiple Strawberries Die-n-Stencil. They are so cute! I really wanted them to look dimensional so I used a few colors to ink these up: Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Candied Apple, Rustic Wilderness, Pine Needles. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out as well.
I pulled out the Gingham Paper and used those die cut strawberries lined up on edge of my pattern paper. I thought it would be fun to have a funky edge. I pulled out a piece of green cardstock to back up that piece for a pop of color.
To finish off this card, I used the Subsentiments – Berry Sweet to quickly add the sentiment. I kinda love these because my favorite way to stamp sentiments is using white embossing on black cardstock — this saves me the trouble of stamping and heat embossing.
Remember to check out all the other inspiration of how to use this kit!

These were one of the first things that caught my eye when this new release came out. I had to get my hands on it to use it immediately and they were so fun to put together. Not only that, they are mini! Mini anything makes it so much cuter – don’t you agree?

Using alcohol markers was something I’ve practiced over time – lots of videos, lots of coloring. You pick up small techniques along the way and it really just needs time. I kind of got the effect of foil balloons here (I think!).

I love a large focal image for a card — You just stamp and color! I tend to stick with my rainbow colors and for this sentiment, it works perfectly!
