Summer Mix Media Release Blog Hop

May 18, 2022

Welcome to the Hero Arts Summer Mix Media Release Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Hero Arts has branched out into the mix media world and I am here for it. The creative team has done a fantastic job showcasing the new products for the new catalog. Let’s get hopping shall we?

 

 

My first project I have tile I made using the new Abstract Expressionist Bold Print. I stamped the tile with Hero Arts Watermark and Embossing Ink and then heat set it with Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder. (Make sure to treat the tile first with anti-static powder). Once the heat embossing was complete, I used several colors of alcohol ink to fill in some of the areas of the design. Now it was time to seal the tile.

 

Deciding how to seal the tile was a little tricky. My first try I used a clear spray sealant however it started to eat away at the embossing powder. So instead of using a clear spray sealant, I used a pouring medium instead. Make sure to allow the first layer of sealant to completely dry before you add a second layer if you need to. Once the sealant was dried, I added a cork backing to make sure the tile back was covered to prevent scratching any surface.

 

My next project is featuring the new Hero Art Picasso Inspired Stencil. As you can tell by these projects I’m channeling my inner bold graphic designer. Starting off with Dove White Cardstock, I adhered the stencil to the cardstock and ink blending on Hero Arts Red Royal and Navy inks using Hero Arts Blending Brushes making sure to leave a gap between the colors to maintain a white area. After ink blending, I removed the stencil and die cut the Happy from the Happy Thanks Stamp and Cut XL.

 

 

I also die cut the happy several times from Hero Arts Cherry Cardstock so I could add dimension to the sentiment once I glued it back in place. Using the Hero Arts Months ad Day stamp set, I stamped out the sub-sentiment for the July 4th on Cherry and Nautical cardstock using embossing ink and white embossing powder. What a way to bring in Independence Day with a great card. A small addition of red and blue sequin and a little rounding off of the panel finished off this card nicely.

 

Last but not least, I create a card using the new Flower Circle Stencil. To create a pretty backdrop for the stencil, I first watercolored a panel of Hero Arts Luxe White Watercolor paper using Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors in Artprint Brown, Cocoa, Terracotta, Coffee and Pink. By mixing the colors I was able to create this beautiful wash of color by adding just a touch of satin white acrylic paint to the mix.

 

 

Next I embossed the flower circle stencil in gold embossing powder. For the sentiment in the middle of the circle, I used a sentiment from the Art Journal Messages stamp set and heat embossed it in white embossing powder. To embellish the card, I used the Critters and Silhouette stamp set to create a pretty little butterfly embossed in gold and white embossing powder.

Hoping I really inspired you today using the new products from the Summer Mix Media release. Next up on the hop is Daniel. Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you back here soon.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero- May 2022

May 2, 2022

Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero for May 2022. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. I hope you have enjoyed the sneak peeks and now it’s time for the full reveal. We’ve cooked up some creativity with the May My Monthly Hero kit release. Join us in the kitchen for a kit made for sharing birthday greetings, friendship, or decorating your baked goodies! The main kit features a gorgeous kitchen-themed Cover Plate die. The A2-sized cling stamp adds a great backsplash to your scene, or is versatile as a background on any project. There are dies for embellishing with pots or adding food, a fun new “cast iron” embossing powder, and messages for your card and gift giving needs. The kit is rounded out with cardstock in colors that give a vintage kitchen vibe, as well as wonderfully theme-appropriate baker’s twine.

 

 

Kit Includes
Kit Value: $70
Kit Cost: $34.99

• 4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set
• Cover Plate Fancy Die• 6 Additional Fancy Dies
• Cling Background Stamp (4.625″ x 5.875″)
• 12 Sheets of Cardstock – 4 each of Pink, Mint, White (5.5″ x 8.5″)

• Cast Iron Embossing Powder (0.5 oz.)
• Blue Baker’s Twine (10 yards)

Pre-order your kit today – we estimate kit shipping will begin Friday, May 6th and continue throughout the following week.

Here’s a look at my card. I had so much fun creating. I started with Hero Arts Pebbles cardstock and the Brick Cling Background stamp. Then heat embossed it in Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder to create the background. Now it was time to add the kitchen.

 

Using Hero Arts Dove White cardstock, I die cut the little kitchen twice. Cutting it twice, I was able to create a heavier piece of cardstock. Next I pulled out my Copic Markers and did a little bit of coloring. For the stove and the hood I used silver matte cardstock.

 

 

 

I made a tutorial showing you how I pulled the card together. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

Let’s not forget my bonus card using the Hero Arts Eggcellent stamp set. OMG this stamp set is fantastic. I created a little table for my kitchen set up to be displayed. Again I used my Copic markers to color this one up. Make sure to grab the bundle for this stamp set. You will really want to have the matching dies for this set.

Simon Says Stamp Happy and Joyful Release

April 20, 2022

Hey everyone. It’s time for the Simon Says Stamp Happy and Joyful release. It’s an amazing release and I have a quick card to share with you. The stamp set I’m using is the new Simon Says Stamp Lisianthus stamp. Isn’t this flower beautiful! As soon as I had this stamp in my hands I knew I wanted to watercolor this image.

To begin, I heat embossed the image onto watercolor paper. Next it was time to add color. My watercolor today is from a cute shop on Etsy called IUILE. I used her watercolors to color my Hero Arts MMH kit a few months back. You can take a peek at it here.  The colors are just so gorgeous. For just a touch more of shimmer, I incorporated some new watercolors I purchased from Amazon. (Disclaimer: I REALLY struggled with these watercolors on their own however I will try again to see if I can get the hang of them.)

Once I had everything watercolored, I stamped a birthday sentiment from the set. I LOVE how large these sentiments are in the kit. Plus you get a variety of fonts and that’s a total bonus!

Adhering this panel to a black layering paper, it really made the flower bloom. Onto a white card base it went and this card was done.

I hope you score some really great products from the Simon Says Stamp Happy and Joyful release. You can also check out some of my other cards using Simon Says Stamp products by clicking the link. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Woo hoo the @ginakdesigns May release is now live. Woo hoo the @ginakdesigns May release is now live. I made a card using the Fearless Flyers stamp set along with pretty colors of Gina K. Designs inks.

This card was so easy to pull together with a quick cloud and grass stencil. For added texture, I used Copic markers to add flicks that look like blades of grass. Definately one you could easily mass produce.

Had a chance to play with products I order from @s Had a chance to play with products I order from @simonsaysstamp a few weeks ago. What better way to enjoy the day with rainbow colors on a card. 
Easy ink blending with distress oxides and a little bit of heat embossing did the trick.

The @simonsaysstamp Yay You release is now life. I The @simonsaysstamp Yay You release is now life. I had the chance to play with the new You Did It waver die. This die is the perfect size for an A2 size card panel. With happy rainbow pattern paper I die cut the sentiment for my card. I used the same paper to keep the rainbow theme working on my card.

Having the paper match really gives my card a cohesive look. Adding a small sub-sentiment and a touch of gold finished off my card nicely. This is the perfect die for our upcoming graduates. Head on over to the Simon Says Stamp store to grab this die cut and other items from the release.
