May 22, 2023

We are so EXCITED to share the new Hero Arts Summer Catalog 2023 Release with you today. There is so much goodness packed into this catalog. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Let’s get into the cards I made.

I’m pleased to announce new additions to Hero Arts CommUNITY collection. My first card is featuring the Holding Together Cling Stamp. This stamp covers a full size card panel. You can watercolor this image with the Hero Arts Skin Tone Liquid Watercolors like I did here or you can color it with your favorite alcohol markers. Or what about ink blending your card panel? The Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder really sets off the watercolors nicely.

Next is the United People Hot Foil Plate. OMG when I saw this after production I almost fainted! This is absolutely one of my favorite images from the CommUNITY collection and I’m thrilled to it turned into a hot foil plate. Be still my to foil plate heart!

I knew when I saw this hot foil plate, it needed to be make a striking card. Hero Arts Nautical cardstock and gold foil made this work sooo well. However let me show you another way to use it.

For this card I paired the hot foil plate with rainbow foil and the new Zig Zag Texture Bold Print. Look how fun this faces are in rainbow color. I also die cut the panel using the new Scalloped Circle Infinity Dies.

Okay I have one more for you. LOL I know hot foil plate overload. Here is another rainbow panel I made. This time pairing it with a simple die cut heart and sentiment.

And for my last card of the day I used the new Together Stamp and Cut. This stamp set and die set also works perfectly with the Encouragement Sentiment Strips. The background texture on this panel was made using the Hero Arts Rough Dots Bold Print stamped into a layer of Hero Arts Glitter Paste. It gives such a great simple vibe to the card.

Fast and Easy Cardmaking

May 19, 2023

Hey everyone. I have a very quick tutorial for you today. When I have images already colored and I need a fast and easy card, a background stamp is my go to. Here I will share a tutorial using the Hero Arts Triangle Mix Bold Print (a new fav) to create two fun cards.

Every once in awhile, I will sit down and color multiple images. This really should be always but I’m like a squirrel and get sidetracked easily. Once I have the images colored, I’ll set them aside until I’m ready to make a card. Well today is that day! Yay for me!

How sweet is this adorable card. Let me show you the bonus card I have using the same products.

Here it is. Another darling card.

The tutorial is below. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

A Sweet Treat

May 17, 2023

Hey everyone. I’m back with a sweet treat card. Today’s card is featuring the new Hero Arts Gumball Machine Fancy Die. This die set makes the perfect gumball machine for your cards. It’s super easy to use and man does it scream my childhood.

I started my card off by die cutting my pieces from Hero Arts cardstock and vellum. The colors I used where Cherry, Mist and Mustard. It was very easy to assemble the machine.

For my background I used the Triangle Mix Bold Print. For a bit of shimmer, I stamped the image with embossing ink and then sprinkled on Hero Arts White Pearl Embossing Powder. This gave the panel a tone on tone look.

For the sentiment, I used Hero Arts Ice Cream Truck stamp set.

Have a sweet day everyone.

Let The Good Times Roll

May 14, 2023

Hey everyone. I’m sharing a card I made using the new Hero Arts You’re Dynamite Bundle and the Starlight Rays stencil. This stamp set just screams good times from my childhood. So let the good times roll and let’s get into the card.

I colored my images using Altenew Alcohol Markers. Next I used Hero Arts Crimson and Cornflower inks along with the Starlight Rays stencil to create the background. Instead of white cardstock, I used Sand.

I stamped the sentiment in Hero Arts Unicorn White ink and heat embossed it with Hero Arts Detail White Embossing Powder.

I trimmed down the stenciled background and placed it onto a Hero Arts Dove White Card Base. For a little height to my card, foam tapes were put under the colored images. This card really makes me reminisce on my younger days of roller skating on Friday nights.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon.
