Beautiful Night Sky Holiday Cards

October 16, 2020

Hey peeps. Still playing with the October 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit. I’m making some beautiful night sky holiday cards. These cards are easy to create. Pretty much a one layer and done.

If you missed my post using bright colors for holiday cards, check out this post Colorful Ornaments Holiday card. I pulled in the same pink I used on that card and paired it with grape juice and navy ink. This allowed me to have a spectacular night sky for my card.

I masked off a portion of the card to create a snowy hill. Sponging on the layers of ink above that making sure to work my colors into the paper. Starting with the pink in the lower portion of the panel and working my way up to the navy. I LOVE how this night sky turned out. Next I stamped sleigh Santa’s in embossing ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. Of course I needed to add my favorite white iridescent shimmer spray.

For the trees and deers, I stamped them multiple times in Cocoa ink to get them nice and dark. Night sky holiday cards are just so beautiful to make.

Colorful Ornaments Holiday Card

October 12, 2020

Hey peeps. I’m back sharing inspiration using the My Monthly Hero Arts October 2020 kit. Colorful ornaments holiday cards are easy to make with just a few ink colors and white card stock.

Pulling just a few bright inks together can make a quick card have a powerful impact. For this card I used Hero Arts Ultra Pink, Green Hills and Soft Pool. These colors play nicely together without competing with each other.

I started with the middle ornament using my Misti stamping tool to center it on the card panel. Then I adjusted the ornament and repeatedly stamped around the first ornament in different colors to cover the panel. For added interest, I pulled in a snowflake image from the kit. Stamping some in the ultra pink and a few in embossing ink and gold heat embossing those.

Adding some interest to the card, I spritz the panel with Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer spray. I love this stuff. To pull in more of the gold I used a few small gold baubles.

I hope this inspires you to pull out some bright colors and get creative with your colorful ornaments holiday cards. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Happy Autumn Forest Card

September 24, 2020

Hey everyone. Welcome back to my blog. I’m sharing a Happy Autumn Forest card with you today. Autumn cards to me are cozy cards. Ones that make you want to snuggle up with a cup of hot chocolate and relax.

For my card today I pulled out my Hero Arts Happy Autumn Forest stamp set. This adorable set has this cute little cabin and a wonderful mountain sunset scene with additional elements to use on your card.

I colored the cabin with a few Copic Markers and used the coordinating dies to cut it out. My card needed to have some awesome clouds so I used the Color Layering Moonlit Night stamp. I first stamped it in versa mark on nautical card stock and then stamped the second layer in versa mark but heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Feeling like autumn this year will have early snow, I hand trimmed out a snowbank for my little cabin to sit on and stamped the many thanks sentiment from the Happy Autumn Forest set. A perfect addition to my card.

This panel was the placed on a pumpkin card stock base and adhered to a dove card base. I love how this card turned out. Very simple yet striking.
