Hero Arts MMH Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

February 5, 2024February 6, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Blog Hop, Giveaway, Hero Arts20 Comments

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the February 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 Lydia Fiedler‘s blog and your next stop will be Pocono Pam. 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”
17 Coordinating Frame Cuts
4 Tag Fancy Dies
Unicorn Ink Cube
6 Sheets White Cardstock, 5.5″ x 8.5″
3 yards of ribbon/twine

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

Clear Stamp Set, 3” x 4”
Imagine Peace Fancy Dies
Sun Stencil, 6″ x 6″
Ephemera Pack, 48 Pieces
White Embossing Powder, 0.5 oz.

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 love floral stamp sets and this one was such a fun one. I love how it looks and I thought it would be such a pretty background if I stamped it around the center of the card. I stamped it the image with Green Apple on Kiwi cardstock. This turned out really pretty!

My second project features a one of this month’s add ons set, the Cosmos & Lavender bundle. I just love the florals and decided to create a diagonal border of the floral clusters. I stamped and colored them in copic markers.

Giveaway:

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

Dark Cardstock + Heat Embossing | Honey Bee Stamps

February 3, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Heat Embossing, Honey Bee Stamps, StampingLeave a comment

I wanted something different from the usual pinks and reds for lovey dovey cards so I went in the complete opposite direction, and went with dark green cardstock, even darkening it up more by inking up the edges. I do love this layered stencil that I used with clear embossing ink with a satin pearl embossing powder for a really pretty background.

February My Monthly Hero Countdown

February 2, 2024January 30, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Hero Arts, My Monthly Hero14 Comments

Hi friends — We’re kicking off the countdown to the Hero Arts February My Monthly Hero kit today and I’m sharing a card using the new kit, focusing on items from the Premium kit!

I wanted to use all the items included in the premium kit but I had to restrain myself a bit for this simple but really powerful card. I love the embossed message in the middle of this really pretty stenciled background. I love how it brings your focus right to it!

I used a pair of the same die cuts to add a bit more interest to the card and I kinda love it!

Head over to the Hero Arts blog for more inspiration using the February My Monthly Hero kit leading up to the release! And then I’ll be back for the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit blog hop with a couple more projects to share!

Ok, my first card love has always been interactive cards but I haven’t really done them in a long time because they do take a bit of time … even more so because I’m a bit rusty but this one is an easy one where you just need some foam tape. I love how it comes out because it works just like a polaroid!

Misti Stamping | Picket Fence Studios

My misti is probably one of my most important crafty items in my crafty arsenal. I love that I can use it to stamp out an even pattern for my cards, like this wreath! It makes it super easy and since it’s small, I needed it to fill up the space across the card.

Subtle Heat Embossing | Honey Bee Stamps

January 27, 2024January 27, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Copic Coloring, Heat Embossing, Honey Bee StampsLeave a comment

I love border stamps — they make for a quick card and helps portion off your card. To make it even easier, just pull out a scrap, heat emboss the image and then add it to a card panel like this card. I wanted a softer color so I also added a strip of yellow to further section it off and ended up stamping my sentiment directly on. It was totally unintentional but instead, a happy coincidence!

Sneak Peek Kit 2024 No. 1 | Waffle Flower + Giveaway

January 25, 2024January 23, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Die Cuts, Ink Blending, Sneak Peek Kit, Stamping, Stencils, Waffle Flower40 Comments

Hi friends, today, I’m sharing a card I created using the Sneak Peek Club kit No. 1 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.

For today’s card, I wanted to use all the items in the kit. I started off with using the Daisy Background Stencil Duo to create my background. I used it them on top of an 6×6 grip mat to make it easy on me, ink blending with distress inks. I used my shader brushes to really get colors in certain areas, which makes it really easy to get a dimensional look to the florals.

I really loved the font from the You & Me stamp set, so I wanted to create a little panel with the subsentiments but I also wanted to still use the large “you & me”.

I used the Layered Daisy die to add subtle accents around my sentiment. It’s super subtle but I love how it adds to it but doesn’t take away from the sentiment. If you want to see how this card came together visually, I have a video!

Remember to check out all the other inspiration of how to use this kit!

Ink Blending + Shimmer Splatter | Honey Bee Stamps

January 20, 2024February 2, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Honey Bee Stamps, Ink BlendingLeave a comment

One of my favorite things to do is ink blending. It was one of the first skills that I picked up when I started cardmaking and it’s been a favorite ever since. Even though sometimes, it isn’t blended super well, you add a little splatter and you don’t even notice!

Shadows & Dimensions | Picket Fence Studios

January 19, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Layered Stencils, Picket Fence StudiosLeave a comment

Sometimes you just need some accents to really pull a card together. I used the Bake a Cookie Layering Stencil but it seemed a little flat as is. I used my copic markers to add some dimension to the cookie as well as adding a shadow to the cookie. It really makes it pop!

Ink blending with Masking | Ink on 3

January 18, 2024Posted in UncategorizedTagged Copic Coloring, Ink Blending, Ink on 3, MaskingLeave a comment

Two of my favorite techniques are used on this card: Ink blending + Masking! Sometimes stamps just don’t come with coordinating dies and masking is my trick to being able to pair it with ink blending. Although my background is bold, I still think these elephants pop!
