Hero Arts Mushroom and Ferns Fancy Dies

July 21, 2021

Hello everyone. Welcome back to the blog. Today I’m playing with the Hero Arts Mushroom and Ferns Fancy Dies. Now I must mention up-front that this stamp set is currently sold out. However, you can add your email to the product to be notified when it’s back in stock. When it’s back in stock, make sure to come back and visit to blog to be inspired to use it. Let’s get into the card.

This card was so easy to create, as I used the die cut piece of paper I used to cut out the die as a stencil. First, I laid down a layer of Field Green in three quarters of the way on the bottom portion of the card. Next, I used the paper stencil to stencil on random images of the fern in Hero Arts Forever Green ink. I loved this technique as it was so easy and make a striking background.

Next, I die cut the ferns out several times from Hero Arts Dove White cardstock and adhered them together using Hero Arts Precision Glue XL. This gave my die cut some weight.

Now it was time to put this card together. I adhered the stenciled panel to a piece of Hero Arts Palm cardstock. Stamping a simple sentiment from the Hero Arts Magical Forest stamp set in Forever Green right above the stenciled area. All that was left was to add the stacked ferns.

Such a simple yet beautiful card. I would love to see how many color combinations you can come up with using this technique and the Hero Arts Mushroom and Ferns Fancy dies. I’ve linked all the products below for your shopping ease. Have a great day everyone.

Hero Arts Meadow Heroscape

July 15, 2021

Hey everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using the new Hero Arts Meadow Heroscape stamp set. This is such a beautiful and easy layering stamp set. Let’s get into the card.

Since this stamp set is so easy to line up you can easily make multiple cards at one by just switching out additional pieces of card stock. I started with Hero Arts Dove White cardstock and stamped my first layer in Hero Arts Lime Green ink. Next using the second layer I stamped the image in Hero Arts Fresh Lawn in. Now comes the layer that brings it all together. The third layer was stamped using Hero Arts Soft Purple Ink. I moved the stamped just a little and stamped again in Grape Juice ink.

Look how gorgeous this image already is. Using a few Copic markers I colored in the mushrooms in the detailed part of the stamp. Now it was time to add in the sky. I used a cloud stencil with Hero Arts Dusty Blue ink to build up all the beautiful clouds for the background.

 

 

All that was left was to stamp a sentiment in the Hero Arts Grape Juice ink and to add in just a few butterflies from the stamp set in Hero Arts Dandelion ink.

 

Finishing off the card, I trimmed down the colorful panel and placed in onto Hero Arts Meadow cardstock. I then adhered this panel to a Hero Arts Dove White card base. This card makes my heart so happy. I have linked all the products used for this card below for your shopping ease. I think you are going to love creating cards using the Hero Arts Meadow Heroscape stamp set. If you have any questions, please make sure to leave them in the comments and I’ll be happy to answer them for you.

Have a wonderful day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Hero Arts Mushroom Forest Fancy Die

July 13, 2021

Hey everyone. I have a quick card to share using the Hero Arts Mushroom Forest Fancy Die. It’s one of the coolest dies I now have in my stash. This die is perfect as the star of your card. Let’s take a look at it.

To start this card I die cut it out of Hero Arts Dove White cardstock. Using different colors of Copic markers I colored the entire panel. Making the bottom portion of the card look like grass blades and the top part to look like greenery. The die cuts out the mushrooms so all I have to do is color them as well.  Using a white gelli roll pen I added the dots to the mushrooms and made the little flowers. Once the coloring was complete, I set the panel aside to work on the background.

Since the die cuts an opening in the middle it’s a perfect spot to add in some clouds and sky. I sponged on Hero Arts Dusty Blue ink across the panel leaving space for clouds. I added just a touch of Hero Arts Butterbar ink to add in some sun.

 

For the sentiment, I reached for the Hero Arts Meadow Heroscape stamp set. The sentiment was stamped in Hero Arts Intense Black ink. Now on to the butterflies. I stamped them once in Butterbar ink and a second time with a little bit of Soft Apricot rolled around the edges. I die cut them out with the coordinating dies. The butterflies are also from the Meadow Heroscape.

 

Now it was time to assemble the card. I trimmed down the die cut panel to be a 1/4 inch smaller so I could add it to a Hero Arts Top Folded Card base. Before adhering it to the card base, I placed the sponged background behind the panel using Hero Arts Precision Glue. I popped up my butterflies for dimension. I really love how this card came out. It’s just so cute! I’ve listed all the products below for your shopping trip.

Make sure to grab your Hero Arts Mushroom Forest Fancy die for your next card. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering u Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering up my @heroarts bold prints. I love the look for texture on cards and by using two great bold prints, I created this beauty. A good tip to layering your bold prints, keep it simple! If your bold prints are too busy, layering them will be difficult. 

For my card I used the Hero Arts Ginkgo Leaves and Positive Script bold prints. The script bold print is small enough that it doesn't overpower the leaves. And you don't have to be perfect with the script either as you are just giving the look for words not something that needs to be readable. Perfect match in cardmaking heaven.

You can find all the products I used on the blog today including this beautiful sentiment you see on my card. (it's one that speaks to my heart). Link is in the bio. Have a wonderful day everyone.
