Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2021

August 2, 2021

Welcome everyone to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2021 blog hop. I’m happy you are here today. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. The My Monthly Hero Kit is now available in the Hero Arts store.

 

 

4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set
Coordinating Fancy Dies
5.4″ Square Cling Stamp
5.25″ x 6.5″ Stencil
3 Liquid Watercolors (Pink, Indigo, Dandelion
6 5.5″ x 8.5″ Sheets Watercolor Paper

For today’s card I am sharing a tutorial on how to create several shades of brown using just two  Hero Arts liquid watercolors in Cocoa and ArtPrint Brown. I stamped the image from the kit in Hero Arts Embossing Ink and heat set it with Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder.

 

 

You can watch the tutorial here or on my YouTube channel.

Now, lets get into the bonus card I have as well. This card was made using the Rainbow Window Fancy Die. This die is an add-on for the month of August. I love this die! It’s so pretty to use as a cover for a card.

I die cut the image from Hero Arts Dove White cardstock. I fulled the rainbows with Copic markers and added a touch of shimmer with a shimmer pen. Setting this panel aside I stamped a sentiment from the Hero Arts Better Together stamp set which is also an add-on for this month.

 

This card panel was screaming to be a shaker card. I added Hero Arts Acetate behind the rainbow, sprinkled sequins onto the blue panel and sealed up the card. I layered the shaker piece onto Hero Arts Mustard cardstock and a Dove White Side Folded Card.

 

To finish off the card, I added a few enamel dots in colors that coordinated with the rainbow colors. All products are listed below for your shopping ease.

We will give away one $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, August 8th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Next on the hop is Daniel. I’ve also included the entire list of participants in case you get lost along the way.

    Dear Dana –
    Always a joy to see what you have created! Love the rainbow card and the Floral Color Wheel card is pretty too in that earth tones monochromatic style. Just a heads-up: I clicked on the SSS links for the last several items you have listed and they all led to the “Oh no!” page at SSS. You might want to double-check that.

    Thanks for the lesson in watercoloring. Love your use of browns in the first card. I wouldn’t have thought to use only browns with that stamp but I really like the look you achieved. So lovely. Also like your bright and cheerful rainbow card. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

Morning everyone. I’m sharing a sparkly card I m Morning everyone. I’m sharing a sparkly card I made using products from the @heroarts Unity Collection. 

This card is to remind my family and friends that they matter and are amazing human being.

Also who won’t want a sparkly card to showcase in their space. And a rainbow at that!!

To wrap up the Valentine's Day card series for 202 To wrap up the Valentine's Day card series for 2023, I decided to pull out my alcohol inks that I have not played with in such a long time. As a HUGE morning coffee lover, I decided to share this non traditional color palette for my last card.

The tutorial up is on my Youtube with a few tips and tricks to make a super fun and coffee inspired card. You can find the link in my profile. The products that I used will also be link there.

Let's mix things up on our next Valentine's Day Ca Let's mix things up on our next Valentine's Day Cards. I'm using two products I don't think I've ever used together before. Hot foil plates and stencils for the win! I have two very different color palettes today that aren't your traditional red and pink cards.

I do have a favorite out of these two cards. Can you guess which one? Check out the tutorial to see just how easy these cards were to put together. (link in bio)

Morning everyone. It's another day for valentine c Morning everyone. It's another day for valentine cards. In today's tutorial I made a trio of valentine cards from one background. This was so easy and so much fun to make. Where are my Distress Oxide Spray lovers?

With three colors of @tim_holtz Distress Oxide Sprays these cards were created. I don't have all the sprays and are "collecting" them little by little. The fear of using these sprays have been unleashed. 😂😂😂 After watching more and more videos from Tim, my nervousness of "messing it up" has been replaced by "oh that's so pretty". 

By using just two die cuts from products from the January 2023 release from @heroarts

The link for the tutorial is in the bio and I hope I inspire you to start creating your Valentine's Day Cards.
