Easy Ink Blending Fall Leaves

September 24, 2021

Hey everyone. I’m back with a tutorial sharing easy ink blending fall leaves with Hero Arts Fall Leaves stencil. A pretty stencil and colorful inks make fall cards so easy to make.

Since I live in Florida, we really don’t get fall weather so creating a fall inspired card is the way to go for me. LOL

Adding a little bit of shimmer on the card really makes it stand out.

All products are linked below for your shopping ease. Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you back here soon. Have a great weekend.

Hey everyone. Welcome back. Today I have a card using the Hero Arts Autumn Branches Cover Plate. LOOK how fabulous this die is. I started off with Hero Arts Sand cardstock and used my brown Copic makers to color over the entire die except for the leaves. Using reds, greens and yellow Copic markers I colored in the leaves and used a glitter gel pen to add in the veins of the leaves.

Next I colored another piece of Sand card stock with a brown Copic marker and heat embossed a sentiment from the Hero Art Autumn Messages stamp set. Such great sentiments for the fall season.

The WOW factor of this card is the back drop for the cover plate. Using the Hero Arts Glitter Paper (Fall) made this card really sparkle. Man look at that luscious paper! When I say this was a SUPER easy card to make, it took me less than ten minutes. The Hero Arts Autumn Branches Cover Plate is perfect for that main reason. You don’t need much to make a stunning card.

Thanks for stopping by today. See you back here soon.

Stamptember With Hero Arts

September 18, 2021

Hey everyone. Today is the day! We are celebrating the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember with Hero Arts. The stamp set is perfect for celebrating the best things in life. And add in sweets and desserts for the win!

My card features a few of the yummy sweets from this set. To start off my card I stamped the party time image onto Hero Arts Dove White cardstock. Next I made a circle mask with my Hero Arts Infinity Circles die to cover up the stamped image. Then I sponged my background with Hero Arts Lemon Drop Reactive Ink and stamped the Hero Arts Birthday Balloons Bold Print in the same reactive ink.

Next it was time color up a few sweet treats with my Copic markers and fuzzy cut them out. Trimmed down my colorful panel, I adhered it to a Hero Arts Side Fold card. To add some dimension to my card, I popped up each of the colored treats with foam tape around the sentiment.

The finishing piece of the card, I used a white gelly roll pen to add some white sprinkles to my donut and cupcake. I think this is such a sweet celebration card for any occassion.

The Stamptember Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp collaboration stamp is now available in the Simon Says Stamp store. Remember, once this stamp set sells out it won’t be coming back in stock. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Altenew Seasonal Textures Stand-alone Embossing Folder Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway! Super excited to have you here. You should have arrived from Colleen’s blog. Today we have so much inspiration to share so let’s get started.

My card today is featuring the new Altenew Linked Oval 3D Embossing Folder. Check out how cool that background is! Man this embossing folder is so AWESOME! It makes the best backdrop from the Altenew You Matter Sentiment Dies.

The linked ovals work so nice with the dies as the don’t compete with the sentiment but complement it.

For the dies, I first die cut it out of white cardstock and used my Altenew Alcohol Markers to make colorful stripes on the dies. Backing them with black really makes them pop!

To complete the card I used a few colorful enamel dots and placed the panel on a piece of black cardstock. This was placed on a white card base and my card was complete. Next on the hop is Amy. Let me tell you about the giveaways before I go.

Fall Is In The Air With Hero Arts

September 16, 2021

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the blog. Fall is in the air with Hero Arts and I’m here for it all. This adorable pumpkin card is perfect for your pumpkin spice loving friends. I used the newly released Hero Arts Color Layering Pumpkin stamp set along with the Hero Arts Pumpkin Patch Bold Print background stamp.

These stamps were made to be friends. I stamped the background in Hero Arts Soft Apricot ink and used a Copic marker to add in the greens and brown touches. Trimming this panel down, I adhered it to a piece of Hero Arts Chestnut card stock. Next it was time to work on the Color Layering Pumpkin.

Start with the lightest color Soft Apricot, I stamped the first layer. Next I stamped the the second layer with Hero Arts Just Rust ink. For the leaves, I used Hero Arts Field Green for the first layer and the second layer was done in Hero Arts Forever Green ink. This card was so easy to create and I hope you will give it a try as well. The sentiment was stamped on Chestnut Cardstock and heat embossed with Hero Arts Detail White Embossing Powder.

Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.
