Hero Arts City Park Heroscape

December 18, 2021

Morning everyone. I have a card today using the new Hero Arts City Park Heroscape stamp set for December. This stamp set is perfect for our friends who live in a city environment. All the images remind of NYC and Central Park. When my son lived in NYC, I had the chance to stroll through Central Park and it was amazing. The hustle and bustle of the city really made me miss living closer to a big city.

 

Being from New Jersey, we used to visit the Big Apple during the summers with friends and family. When I got married, my brother-in-law lived in NYC and was a dancer of Alvin Ailey. We would go visit him and see a show. The memories of these times are priceless. My card was kept very clean and simple with a navy, gold and white color palette. I used Hero Arts Nautical cardstock, Hero Arts Gold Glitter Embossing Powder and Tulip puffy paint for the snow.

 

 

To deepen up the navy I did sponge on some Hero Arts Navy ink in a few random spots to intensify the color a little bit. And the puffy paint is perfect for making snow.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon with another card featuring Hero Arts products.

Holiday Card Series 2021 – Day 9 Scrapbook.com

November 17, 2021

(Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you)

Hey everyone. Day 9 is here of the Holiday Card Series. I’m featuring products from Scrapbook.com. By using the Ink Combos Guide, I will show you how to use the colors from the guide with paper instead of inks. Remember the combo guide is a reference of colors that work well together. So if you limited on your inks and how a ton of cardstock, you that instead. Let’s check out the cards.

The first card is featuring the Scrapbook.com Christmas Foliage stamp set. This is a slimline stamp set perfect for filling up a card panel. The color palette today is number 10 in the guide.

 

 

 

Now my second card, I pulled the same colors in cardstock to create my color palette. By using the slimline cardstock paper pads from Scrapbook.com I was able to create the card without using any inks as my color. You’ll see just how easy this card was to create in the tutorial.

 

 

 

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel. All product used are listed below.

 

I can’t below tomorrow is already the end of the holiday card series for this year. I’ll see you back here then! Have a great day everyone.

Holiday Card Series 2021 – Day 8 Waffle Flower

November 15, 2021

(Affiliate links used at no cost to you)

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the Holiday Card Series 2021. We are on day 8 and the products today are from Waffle Flower. Today I felt like a little ink blending and a cover plate die would be a great match up. Using distress oxide inks with the Waffle Flower Poinsettia Cover Die help me make a stunning card.

 

This color palette is number 5 in the Ink Combos Guide! Love the non-traditional colors this creates for a holiday card.

 

 

 

My second card I used the same color palette however I switched up the stamp set. This time I used the Snowflake Background Stencil from Waffle Flower. Look how gorgeous those snowflakes are. The sentiments used on both cards are from the Waffle Flower Wonderful Christmas stamp set and coordinating dies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By adding coordinating sequins I found in my stash, this card finished off beautifully.

 

 

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel. All product used are listed below.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here for day 9 of the holiday card series.

Hey everyone. We are on day 7 of the Holiday Card Series for 2021. Today I’m working with Concord & 9th products for a lovely watercolored card design. I had to do a little bit of watercoloring for this series again. Watercoloring for me in such a easy thing to do. I don’t overthink the process as I just let it flow.

 

The color palette today is from the Ink Combos Guide you can find the in sidebar of the blog. It’s a free download for you to use for your holiday cards or beyond.

My second card today is sharing that same color palette this time with a touch of gold sparkle. All products are link below.

 

You can watch the video here or over on my Youtube channel.

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.
