December 6, 2021

Affiliate links used at now cost to you

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero for December 2021. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. The December My Monthly Hero kit is a reminder that no matter where we live, near or far, in cities or in neighborhoods – through it all we’re here for each other. The kit includes a lively cityscape cling background stamp, a beautiful new cover plate die, and a clear stamp set containing useful messages for welcoming new neighbors, or letting friends and family know you are thinking of them. The images in the clear set have coordinating dies as well. Rounding out the kit is our popular Pitch Black cardstock, ink cubes (perfect for blending a gorgeous sunset) and adorable clothespin embellishments.

• 4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set
• 11 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• Fancy Cover Plate Die (4.25″ x 5.5″)
• City Cling Stamp (6″ x 6″)
• 4 Sheets of Black Cardstock (5.5″ x 8.5″)
• 3 Reactive Ink Cubes (Berry Smoothie, Fruit Punch, Lemon Drop)
• 10 Clothespins

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Dec 2021

For my card,  I blended a quick and easy background using Hero Arts Reactive inks. Next I blended on a small amount of black soot distress oxide ink around the boarder of the card for added depth. Next I splattered the panel with water and Hero Arts Iridescent Shimmer Spray. Once that was dried, I stamped the City cling stamp in clear embossing ink and sprinkled it with Hero Arts White embossing powder.

When stamping the sentiment, I used two of the inks I used for the background to have a gradient ink blend for the sentiment and the little doggy.

 

 

 

Below is a tutorial showing how my card came together. You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel.

 

Here is a bonus card I made using the new Hero Arts Signpost Stamp and Cut XL. This stamp set is so pretty. I love the hanging signs you can create with it. I kept the card very clean and simple by adding just a bit of sunshine  behind the sign and adding grass for the sign to sit in.

 

The die cut truly fills up a card panel nicely.

 

Next on the hop is Daniel. Don’t forget Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, December 12th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. I’ve also attached the full list of participants in case you get lost along the way.

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.
