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.

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. 

The Unity Collection is the perfect way to share cards with your friends that feel underrepresented! The core of this collection is just that. Share love and respect to people who may not look like you, think like you or embrace life like you. We all want to be seen and heard in this world. 

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.

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.
