Hero Arts Birthday Border Fancy Die

June 24, 2021

Hey everyone. I promised more birthday cards this week so here’s another quick one. Using a cover die or border die is a great way to make a quick card. The design element is already there for you all you need is a sentiment. Check out this card I made using the Hero Arts Birthday Border Fancy die.

Keeping this card super simple with just a ombre-ish background panel of Hero Arts Lemon Drop, Key Lime Fizz and Pool Party Reactive inks. Using the Hero Arts Blending Brushes made this background perfect to make for this card.

For added dimension, I did cut the border die two times and adhered them together with Hero Arts Precision Glue.

I’m not sure you can see it in the photo but for a tad bit of shimmer on the card, I used the Hero Arts Iridescent Shimmer Spray. I love this stuff as it’s so sparkly and pretty.

Products are linked below for your shopping convenience. Make sure to swing by tomorrow for another day of birthday cards featuring Hero Arts. Have a great day everyone.

Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons Birthday Card

June 23, 2021

Hey everyone. I’m back sharing some quick and easy birthday cards using the Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons Stamp set and the coordinating Bunch Of Balloons Fancy Cut. Having extra birthday cards on hand are a must in my house. I always seem to need one when I least expect it.

The Bunch of Balloons stamp set pairs perfectly with the Hero Arts Birthday Balloons Bold Print background stamp. I created two cards in different color palettes using just my Copic markers as my coloring medium. Keeping the background just black and white or gray and white lets the balloons really pop!

The Copics I used from this card were R08, YR04, Y35, B04, N2 and N3. The colored cardsock is Hero Arts Cherry.

For this card the following Copics were used R20, R43, BG11, BG34, Coo and Co1. The color cardstock is Hero Arts Paradise.

For the next few days I will share more inspiration for quick and easy birthday cards right here on the blog. All products when posted will be available in the Hero Arts shop via the links below until they are out of stock. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero June 2021 – Party Animals

June 7, 2021

Hey it’s that time! The Hero Arts My Monthly Hero kit for June 2021is now available. Who’s ready for a par-tay? Remember on my countdown post mentioned this kit is party ready. There is so much fun to be had with this set. It even have little confetti dots in the kit! Let’s grab a cake and get this party started.

My little puppy is floating away on his party balloons. I had so much fun creating this card. It’s a rather clean and simple card with an easy to recreate design. You can even change the image to the cat which is included in the kit.

Also remember I said there were great add-ons this month as well. All of them are party themed. So my next card is made with the Candles Bold Print background stamp and the Birthday Messages Stamp and Cut XL. To begin this card I pulled out my Fruit Punch, Lemon Drop and Pool Party reactive inks to stamp the background. Next I used the same colors and blended them onto Dove White card stock to die cut out my celebrate.

Stacking the celebrate sentiment gave it some weight. I added some sparkle clear lacquer pen to this sentiment and set it aside to try. Back to the panel I went to stamp the coordinating sentiment from the Birthday Messages Stamp and Cut XL with intensified black ink. I wanted this card to light up so I colored in the tips of the candles and selected three of them to place my EZ Lights behind.

Keeping my card bright and happy, I decided to use Paradise card stock to make the card base. I truly LOVE the way this card turned out. It really makes my heart happy. We will give away one $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, June 13th at 11:59pm pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
