I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and one of the Extraordinary Extras.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. This Card Kit contains a ton of fun pieces that you can make a colorful card. I did a very simple card using the reinkers with water to create a light watercolor background. Then I stamped the images and sentiments for a very simple card.

My second project focuses on the stamp set from the Extraordinary Extras, Floral Rainbow & Clouds. I stamepd and colored the rainbow and used it as a border to use it outside of its ordinary use. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images and sentiments and placed it on top of cardstock.

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!

I have two cards to share with you today featuring this month’s kit and one of the Extraordinary Extras.

The first card focuses on the Card Kit of the Month. This Card Kit contains a ton of fun pieces. First and foremost, I’m a coffee drinker so I’m automatically drawn to the coffee cup die cut. I die cut that out of white card cardstock and color it up with copic markers. I also used one of the snowflakes in this Card Kit to stamp with Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink along with White Embossing Powder directly on the cup for decoration. When you color up die cuts, it looks like no line coloring, so I decided to stamp the owl from the main stamp set with Contour Ink, and did more no line coloring with copic markers. I also wanted some pops of red, so I stamped and colored the berries and poinsettia as well. For my background, I used one of the stencils from the card kit with Crimson Core ink to ink up on Sand Cardstock. I popped the images on Ivory cardstock so they would stand out against that background and I love how the stenciled pattern still stands out. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment on the Ivory Cardstock using Intens-ified Black Ink.

My second project focuses on the stamp set from the Mini and Extraordinary Extras, Winter Foliage Pattern. How this stamp set is set up is that it’s to be paired with the Winter Foliage Pattern Cover plate and it’ll die cut all the images, which is really cool and convenient because you don’t have to line each image up with the die. But I wanted to share a quick and easy card with just the stamp set. I went and did ink swiping with the colors of a Christmas rainbow using the Hero Hues Reactive Glitz inks: French Pink, Spanish Orange, Naples Yellow, and Byzantine Green. Then I just stamp the Winter Foliage Pattern right on top. To finish off the card, I stamped with Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat embossed the sentiment using White Embossing Powder on Pitch Black cardstock. I also trimmed down my panel so I could mat it with the same Pitch Black cardstock.

Here’s a little video for this one:
