Hero Arts Summer Catalog 2021

May 20, 2021

Welcome everyone. Today the Hero Arts Summer Catalog for 2021 has launched. This catalog is full of card inspiration and new products. During the hop you will so the creative team showing how they created their cards using the new supplies. This is just one of my favorite catalogs to date.

For my first card I’m featuring the Hero Arts Color Layering Strawberries. The strawberries really come to life with this layering stamp set. Super easy to line up to really show the details of the image. I stamped my image on cherry card stock with embossing ink to crate my background panel. For the ink colors I used Hero Arts Pale Tomato, Red Royal, Green Hills and Field Greens. To keep the card simple, I used one of the Hero Arts Heart Infinity dies to stamp my sentiment. The card base is the Hero Arts Dove White Side Folding Card.

 

 

 

 

Now my next card is truly a clean and simple card. The Hero Arts Message Strips Stamp and Cut XL. Want clean and simple? This is the way to go. If these colors look familiar to you, they should. They are my blog colors. 😉  Using just one of the sentiments, I stamped the Happy Birthday on Hero Arts Cherry, Mustard and Paradise card stock. I heat embossed it with Hero Arts white embossing powder. With the stamp set you get coordinating sentiment dies. I die cut out each birthday message.

To keep the color palette all about just these three colors, I used the same paper to layer a strip of each side by side on a white dove card base. I adhered the happy birthday sentiment stacked one on top of the other for a clean design.

 

 

 

 

Hero Arts will give away one $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, May 9th at 11:59pm pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Next on the hop is Daniel.

Happy Friday everyone. I love playing with stencil Happy Friday everyone. I love playing with stencils and today I have a quick tutorial using the Fanfare stencil from @simonsaysstamp. By using just one stencil, I create a few cards that show how I stretched my design layout.

Head on over to my Youtube channel to watch the turorial. I hope I can inspire you to use just one stencil to create beautiful backgrounds for your next card.

Have a wonderful day everyone and stay safe.

The newly released @stitchablecards kit is fantast The newly released @stitchablecards kit is fantastic. I stitched up with piece from the kit and I'm so excited to sent it out to a friend. These kits are great for people who love to cross stitch on the go. 

There are times I can't get into my craft room to create and I need my crafty fix. I grab one of my kits and start stitching from anywhere. There are three kit subscriptions you can choice from.  I have a link in my bio for a quick Youtube tutorial showing what came in my kit.  If you love to cross stitch I highly suggest you sign up for these kits.

Morning everyone. I'm on the @heroarts blog today Morning everyone. I'm on the @heroarts blog today sharing two bookmarks I made using products from the new Mix Media release. These bookmarks were so easy to create and I love the colorful style of them. 

I truly hope we are inspiring you with our projects using the items from the release. I remember a time I used to be scared to do mix media. Now it's so easy for me to create without fear. Mix media is just using more than one medium on your projects and I've been doing that forever. LOL

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.

Today we are here with an installment of our month Today we are here with an installment of our monthly series, CommUNITY, where we share artwork from artists who we'd love for you to get to know. CommUNITY is about embracing and honoring the creativity of individuals who are often underrepresented. By sharing art from a diverse group of creators, we hope to not only bring inspiration to this papercrafting community we all love so much, but also support and empower individuals to be their authentic selves as they create and share. Look for a new CommUNITY guest artist right here on the blog each month

Our CommUNITY guest for this month is the amazing @yupimadethat. Tammy and I have a twin connection as she is the mother of twin boys and I have a twin sister. The challenges are doubled with twin. LOL Head on over to the Hero Arts blog to see her creations and hear her story. She's pretty amazing! 

Tammy thank you so much for being our guest this month. You bring so much talent to this craft community and we love it.

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.
