Hero Arts Spring 2021 Catalog Release and Blog Hop

Hey everyone. Today is the day. The Hero Arts Spring 2021 Catalog is here.  I’m thrilled to share sample cards from products from the release. We also have some additions to the Unity Collection that are just beautiful. To celebrate the release we are having a blog hop.

My first card is featuring the Flower Power stamp from Hero Arts, Pocono Pam and myself. This stamp is a layering stamp were you can stamp that really packs a punch. It also have an outline layer for the flowers which you can color in with any medium.  I love the design of this stamp and I hope you do too.

 

 

For my second card I’m sharing the Hello There die and stamp set. I’m a HUGE fan of mixing fonts for sentiments so this is a perfect win for me. I die cut out the hello there and heat embossed it several times in gold embossing powder.  The thickness of doing this really turns the sentiment into a think embellishment. A simple smaller sentiment below really is all I need for this clean and simple card.

 

And for my last card. I mean during the current state of affairs we really need to stay strong and focused. The Stay Strong Anchor stamp and cut is perfect. This simple yet beautiful small set can be the focal point of your card without a lot of fuss. I kept my card on the masculine side to show that this set is very gender neutral. Paring it with the Sea and Sky stencil allowed for a little it of movement in the card without taking away from the focal point.

 

Make sure to visit each person along the hop and get inspired. Comment on the hop by Wednesday, February 24th at 11:59pm pst for a chance to win one of three $50 gift certificates to the Hero Arts store. The more blogs you leave comments on, the more chances to win! Here is the hop participants.

Valentine’s Day Card Series 2021 Day 1

Hey everyone. I’m back with the Valentine’s Day Card Series 2021 Day 1. I’m thrilled to be doing the series again this year. However this year I will be doing it a little different. Instead of having a video everyday for the week, I’m going to mix things up. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, there will be a video posted on Youtube. On Tuesday and Thursday there will be inspiration here on the blog only.

Having to change things up this year has been a little rough but nothing is normal anymore. I’m dealing with some issues that are keeping me out of my room more than I would like. Making videos as you know is very time consuming and I can’t sit or stand very long to get them done. Hopefully I’ll be able to come back at full speed with more videos but until then, I still want to share inspiration through blogging.

For day one I’m using products from Hero Arts. I’m a huge fan of Hero Arts as most of you know. So bringing in a few items from them for the series was a must. This card may look familiar to you as I made a similar one last week. This one I tweaked just a bit to add to the series.

Hero Arts Bold Geometric Bee Pattern

Hey  everyone. Back again sharing a card using products from the Hero Arts January 2021 release. My card today is featuring the Geometric Bee Pattern Bold Print background stamp.  This stamp is so sharp! I absolutely love the graphic look of this design for a background.

I made sure to really bring out a striking style for this card. Using bright yellow, black and white fully allowed the design to stand front and center. I stamped the image with black ink on half the panel and Veramark on the other half. I them heat set this panel with clear embossing powder.

Hero Arts Geometric Bee Pattern

Once it was cool I sponged on Lemon Drop Ink over the entire panel adding in hints of Butter Bar ink as well.  I trimmed down this panel so I could add a black backer to this piece. Before placing the backer on. I die cut the center of the image with one of the dies from the Hexagon Infinity die set. Next I die cut the next size up hexagon to create a base from the smaller hexagon.

 

Placing the first panel on black cardstock I popped up the hexagon black panel in the center of the design making sure to keep the design in the right direction. For a touch of whimsy I placed a colored bee from the Bee The Queen stamp set along with a sentiment which was fussy cut.

 

Applying this to a Side Folding Dove White Card and this little beauty was complete. I love how this card turned out using the Geometric Bee Pattern stamp set and I hope you enjoyed your visit today.  I’ll see you back here soon.
