Hero Arts Dala Horse

October 20, 2020

Hey peeps. How’s your holiday cards coming along? Today I’m using the Hero Arts Dala Horse for a beautiful and colorful card. Let’s take a look at the card.

I started by trimming down a piece of dove white cardstock to 4×4. Beginning with my yellow flower I stamped the image rotating the cardstock until I had a semi-wreath shape. Next I stamped the green leaves the same way and finished off with the red flowers. I set this aside and began working on my horse.

For my horse I wanted to pull in some blue. Using navy ink I stamped the horse and colored it in with Copic markers matching the inks I used for my background. I used the coordinating die to cut out the horse. Wanting to add just a touch of shine, I pulled out my crystal glaze and aded it to the horse’s saddle. I also added some shimmer pen to the horse.

Leaving the horse to dry, I returned to the background piece. Layering this colorful piece onto nautical paper helped to pull in more blue. For the embellishments I used Sunset Hero Hues Enamel Dots.

Popping up the horse in the center of my card panel added dimension to my card. This piece was added to a 4.25 x 4.25 card base. I love how pretty this card turned out. Make sure to grab your Hero Arts Dala Horse for your next card project. Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you back here soon.

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.
