No Line Look With Solid Stamping | Pretty Pink Posh

I love the no line look but it does take a lot of time to achieve when you color — but with solid stamping, it does make it a bit easier and you can add some dimension by adding darker colors on the edges of the image.

Mix of Dies & Stamped Sentiments | Honey Bee Stamps

You don’t have to stick with one type of sentiment — I love when you can mix and match die cuts with stamped sentiments. It really stretches out the look of the sentiments.

When you have smaller images, there’s a lot you can do with them but my favorite thing is creating multiple mini scenes! I use the square die cut to create that anchor for the images.

Hero Studio February 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway!

Hi crafty friends! Today, we are hopping along to introduce the February 2025 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 February Card Kit of the Month.

Includes:

  • Tulip HeroScapes Clear Stamp Set, 6” x 8”
  • Circling Clouds Cling Stamp, 6″x 6″
  • Messages Clear Stamp Set, 4″ x 6″
  • 7 Tulip HeroScape Coordinating Dies
  • 4 Word Fancy Dies with Frame Cuts
  • 5 Messages Coordinating Dies
  • 4 Ink Cubes (Thistle, Azalea, Moss, Blue Raspberry)

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

I have two cards to share with you today featuring the Card Kit of the Month and the Clear Stamps & Dies of the Month.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month . This Card Kit contains a fun layering stamp set to create a border of floral tulips. I picked a bunch of Hero Hues to do some stamping with the tulips layered stamps: Forever Green, Fresh Lawn, Orchid, and Grape Juice. I decided to use the layered stamped image on the top portion of my card and the Thank You sentiment that comes in the stamp set fits perfectly. I also decided to add a supporting sentiment (my friend) on a strip of white cardstock. I wanted to add in more of the purple color by adding Eggplant cardstock at the bottom part of the card.

My second project focuses on the Clear Stamps & Dies of the Month, Lovely Flowers. This one is a pretty simple one. I stamped a variety of the flowers using Intens-ified Black Ink at the bottom part of my card panel and then I stamped the sentiment with Moss ink. Then I ink blended the top of card panel with Ultra Pink core ink, using the Large Ink blending brush. It’s a simple and pretty card that you definitely can mass produce.

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 Saturday, February 8 at 11:59pm PST, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Leave a comment on all stops for more chances to win!

Throwback Tuesday | Pear Blossom Press x Hero Arts

I freaking love this card — 1) it’s uses lights perfectly to mimick the video game console I used to play and 2) masculine cards are so hard to make. This set makes it super easy peasy to create one and there’s a lot of possibilities: Flat, one layered card OR a shaker card OR a pull up card OR a light up card! I’m sure there’s more ideas but I used the lights today and I love it!

Planner: 2025 Week 5 Weekly Setup

Lunar new year is happening this week and it’s not like New Years where it’s just a celebration on New Year’s Eve ringing in the new year. It lasts for quite a bit and I love it.

I had to pull out TheCoffeeMonsterZCo’s Large LNY 2025 Doodles to decorate my week for the Year of the Snake paired with the Chinese Zodiac Emotis washi tape. I also had to pull out my gold pen for some elements of gold and red throughout!
