Today is day 2 of the Holiday Card Series 2021 and Hero Arts is on deck today. I have so much to share with you so let’s get started. This Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit for November 2021 release is today and if you want to make some ADORABLE cards you are going to love this kit. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog.

November is here and the holiday season is upon us! With our November My Monthly Hero kit, we have everything you need to create adorable handmade tags and/or gift toppers for all of your Christmas gift-giving. The dies in this kit are equally great for cards, scrapbook pages and even felt ornaments! We’ve included a stamp set with patterns to decorate the tag pieces, and plenty of holiday-themed messages, too. To round out the kit, we’ve included card stock and glitter paper for die cutting your characters. White Puff Embossing Powder is fun for adding some dimensional texture, and our Lacquer Pen adds dimensional shine. And last but not least, there’s festive red & white twine for embellishing, or attaching your tags to gifts.

Here’s what’s included in the kit this month.

• 4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set
• 13 Coordinating Fancy Dies
• 10 Sheets of Snow Cardstock (5.5″ x 8.5″)
• 1 Sheet of White Glitter Paper (5.5″ x 8.5″)
• White Puff Embossing Powder (0.5 oz.)
• Lacquer Pen (0.5 oz.)
• Holiday Twine (1 yard)

Kit Value: $70
Kit Cost: $34.99

For my card today, I used the Santa from the kit with the Argyle Patten Bold Print stamp. This color palette is one of 10 that are included in the Ink Combos Guide.

This card is featuring the newly released Cozy Winter stamp set and coordinating Cozy Winter Frame Cuts. I loved making this scene card using this stamp set. I first colored the images and die cut them out using the coordinating dies. Deciding not to have the white outline around the images, I used a pair of scissors to cut directly to the black line on each image.

I created the flooring using my Copic makers to make it look like a wood floor. Using the Brick Bold Print, I lightly stamped a wall to sit my window on. This scene makes me think of a cozy cottage!

Here’s a quick tutorial. You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you.

Welcome to the Altenew Paint-A-Flower: Rosa Floribunda Outline Stamp Set Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Virginia’s blog. We are excited to see you here today. Let’s get started on my card.

The Paint-A-Flower Rosa Floribunda is such a beautiful stamp set. Instead of painting the rose I used my Altenew Alcohol Markers. My color palette today was teal, orange and yellow. I think these colors work beautifully together. I also pulled in some gold for heat embossing the sentiment and for a splatter effect on the card.

To make the flowers stand out a little bit, I lined around the image with a blue markers to give a little bit of shading.

Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Garden Rose Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

October 12, 2021

Welcome to the Altenew Craft Your Life Project Kit: Garden Rose Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Amanda’s blog. Nothing is prettier than a garden rose! Enjoy our Craft Your Life Project Kit, an exciting monthly package that is sure to get the creative juices flowing! Featuring a 6×8 stamp set, coordinating die set, as well as a stencil and embossing folder to fit the theme, this project kit has almost everything you need to start crafting. Just add ink and cardstock, and you’ll be good to go! This kit features a stamp including two beautifully drawn roses with three layers each and four leaf outlines. Leave these unfilled, or add color with the stencil set! One stencil acts as a coloring/mask stencil, one includes bold stripes, and the third contains three words that go with the sentiments in the stamp set. Finally, add texture with the 3D embossing folder for a stunning project!

For my card today I made a quick tutorial sharing how I pulled this card together. I love that this kit had a stencil with a design and sentiments. It really helped to make my card super easy to create and I can even mass produce this one quickly.

You’ll see in the video that I made several roses and leaves in another color that I can keep for a future card.

The stripes of the stencil really help to make this design pop! And guess what? No coloring involved.
