Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2022

August 1, 2022

Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2022 kit release. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. This months kit is sooo pretty. I LOVE layering stencils and this one is one of my favorite.

Adventure lies ahead with our August My Monthly Hero kit. The desert southwest is your destination as you create beautiful landscapes with the kit’s layering stencils. We’ve included four ink colors to get you started, but a rainbow of possibilities await. Add some glistening shimmer with PearlEx powder. There are dies to cut out the desert elements, and a message set with greetings that are great for cardmaking and journaling alike. Be wild and free as you enjoy the creative journey!

Here are the contents of this months kit.

• 3″ x 4″ Clear Stamp Set
• 4 Color Layering Stencils (5.25″ x 6.5″)
• 6 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 4 Ink Cubes (Caramel, Sand, Tangerine, Pine)
• 5 Sheets Luxe White Watercolor Paper (5.5″ x 8.5″)
• Bronze PearlEx (0.11 oz.)

For my card today I decided to load up on the pink. You can see my sneak peek card from Friday here. Oh the pretty shades of the Hero Arts Core Inks made this card shine.

I’m huge on color combos so I keep a list of ones I like on my Pinterest board. This way if I’m struggling for an ink combo, I can look there.

When using any medium, try something new. You might just find your favorite way to make a card. Below is a tutorial sharing how easy it was to create this card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

I’m also sharing a card using the add-on On The Road Fancy Die. I LOVE how this card turned. My color medium was Copic makers and the window view is from the Hero Arts City Park Heroscape.

Next on the hop is Daniel. I hope you will enjoy the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero August 2022 release. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Altenew July 2022 Summer Love Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 22, 2022

Welcome to the Altenew July 2022 Summer Love Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Virginia’s blog. Let’s get into some of the cards I have for you today. You can also check out other cards I have made using Altenew products here.

My first card is featuring the Altenew Geo Triangles Embossing Folder and the Altenew Geo Triangles Stencil. These two products together make STUNNING cards. I mean check out how sassy this card is.

Starting off first with the colors, I sponged on Altenew inks in Snapdragon, Honey Drizzle, Teal Cove, Midnight Violet across a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. To create the color blend, I made sure to overlap the colors just a bit. Next placing the paper in the Altenew Geo Triangle Embossing Folder, it was time to run it through my diecutting machine.

Once the diecutting was over, I trimmed down my piece to fit a 5″x5″ white card base. The sentiment was created using the Altenew Bold Alpha Dies. For just a little sparkle. each letter had a bit of Scrapbook.com shimmer pen layered on top of it.

My next card is featuring just the Altenew Geo Triangles stencil. Using the same colors as my previous card, however I omitted one of the colors to keep the white background. Love how random the pattern looks without using four colors.

Wanting this panel to really pop, trimming it down and adding it to a back panel of black cardstock worked perfectly. Just an addition of faux stitching with a white gelli roll pen finished the card off.

All the card needed at this point was a sentiment. I heat set a sentiment from the Monsteras & Quotes stamp set in white embossing powder on black cardstock. Since I didn’t want to cover up too much of my design, I trimmed the sentiment piece as close as I could to the sentiment and popped it up center on the card.

To celebrate the release, Altenew is running a free gift promotion.

Altenew July 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 12, 2022

Welcome to the Altenew July 2022 Marvelous Monthly Series Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Laura Jane’s blog. This release celebrates friendships with its charming images, flowers, and heartfelt sentiments. Show your bestie how much you care, or reach out to a long-lost buddy! We can’t wait to see how you use the products in this collection.

Let’s get into my card. I used the Build-A-Garden Tulips & Friends Stamp and Stencil set. Using the included stencil really makes working with these sets so easy.

For my tulips and leaves I used Altenew Fresh Lemon, Honey Drizzle, Chamomile, Snapdragon, Pastel Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Mountain Mist and Sweet Leaf inks. Just look how wonderful these colors go together.

To keep the card soft, an embossing folder was a perfect spot for my tulips to land. The Altenew Enchanting Vines worked perfectly with a backer panel in a soft yellow cardstock.

Pulling in just a touch of black, I heat set a few sentiments to add to the front of the card. This card really was a breeze to pull together. Now let’s talk about the giveaways.

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 07/18/2022 for a chance to win.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero July 2022

July 5, 2022

Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero for July 2022. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog.We’re serving up tropical summer vibes with our July My Monthly Hero release! This month’s kit features a flock of flamingos in HeroScape form. Layer the included inks to easily stamp the gorgeous birds, and create a scene with water below and clouds above. Your recipient will be tickled pink when they receive your card, embellished with the colorful gems or Teal Hero Pearls that round out the kit.

The kit contains the following:

• 6″ x 8″ Clear Stamp Set
• 7 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 5 Ink Cubes (Cotton Candy, Peony, Azalea, Arctic, Paradise)
• Self-Adhesive Pink & Teal Gems
• Teal Hero Pearls (0.6 oz)

So let’s start with my card. I trimmed down a piece of Hero Arts Dove White cardstock and blended Hero Arts Mist and Aegean inks to create this pretty background for my flamingos to rest on. Adding the sparkly gems from the kit really anchors my birds.

A tutorial was made for you today. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

My bonus card for today is featuring the new Hero Arts Peacock Die. How fancy is this little one? This die allowed me to create a rainbow feather feature for my peacock. Setting it onto Hero Arts Pitch Black cardstock and tucking him into a piece of Hero Arts Kiwi cardstock really made it pop. A simple sentiment heat embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder went perfectly on the kiwi cardstock. I used a .10 white gelli roll pen to add some waves and dots around the edges of the cardstock.

Pre-order your kit today – we estimate kit shipping will begin Friday, July 8th and continue throughout the following week. We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, June 10th 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 hope we have inspired you to create beautiful cards with the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero for July 2022. Have a great day everyone and good luck!
