November 2023 My Monthly Hero - CLASSIC Kit

Mixing parts of the classic kit and premium kit, you REALLY stretch your cardmaking! Remember you can use each kit by itself or use bits from each kit.

Also mix up your supplies. Use inks, markers and paste! This makes your cards look amazing.

Hopefully today’s tutorial will inspire you to mix things up on your cards. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel.

 

 

Now I also have a inspiration card using an add-on from this month’s release. This card is featuring the Winter Holiday Cheer Bundle. Grab your colorful inks and make a beautiful holiday town.

My little town is sitting in a winter wonderland. By hand trimming  snowbanks and lightly blending on a little Hero Arts Dove ink, I had the perfect place to add in some trees.

To add in a little more interest, you could use Hero Arts glitter with a touch of glue for sparkle on your snowbanks.

The colors inks I used for my little town were Mist, Soft Blossom and Periwinkle. For my trees I used Moss and Espresso. To light up the windows I used a light yellow marker and for the doors and dormers I used a medium brown. Next on the hop is Ilina. We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, November 12th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

Have a great week everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Simon Says Stamp Season Of Wonder

October 5, 2023

Welcome to the blog everyone. Today I am participating in the Simon Stamp Season Of  Wonder release. I’m super excited to share this card with you today. Scene cards are really difficult for me to create, however with a little masking I was successful.

I started off my stamping the little girl with her stack of presents on the left side of the card. Next, I stamped the bundle of presents to the right of my panel. Now it was time to mask off these areas. Pulling out my masking sheets, I stamped and fussy cut out the girl and the bundle of presents. Using the masks, I covered up these two areas and then stamped my tree. Once the masking paper was removed, it was time to color.

The Copic markers are I used today are the following:

E11, E 13, E15, E39, E50
R46, R59, R81, R83, RV34
BG13, BG49
YG23, YG67, YG99
Y26, Y28
W4, W6, W7

Now that coloring was complete, I hand drew in the floor for my images and colored with Copic markers. For a little bit of texture, I pulled out a light beige Copic marker to make faux wallpaper. To top off my tree I stamped the star, colored it in with my Copic markers and fussy cut it. I use double sided foam to adhere it to the top of the tree. And lastly, I stand the large Christmas sentiment at the top of the card, and also stamped a sub sentiment which I fussy cut out.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do! Here’s to starting off those holiday cards for this year. It’s time now to fill up your cart with products from the Simon Says Stamp Season of Wonder release.Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you back here soon.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero October 2023: PREMIUM KIT

October 2, 2023

Hey everyone. Welcome ot the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Release day! I’m thrilled for all of you to finally see the entire kit. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Our October release transports you to a snowy night in the forest. This kit features a set of three gorgeous layering dies for building your wintry scene. A 3″ x 4″ stamp set supplies swirling snow and stars. There are four message dies with frames; very useful for the holiday season. The highlight of this expanded Premium kit is a set of three “peeking” animal dies. Add them to your winter scene for a whimsical touch. There’s also a 4″ x 6″ stamp set featuring images with a Nordic flare for building ornaments, flowers, snowflakes, and more. We’ve included a fun new product making its kit debut – white acrylic spray! A generous assortment of cardstock enhances the theme. The finishing touch to the Premium Kit is a set of beautiful vellum snowflakes.

 

 

• 3 Large Scene Fancy Dies
• 4 Fancy Word Dies
• 3 Mini Peeking Fancy Dies
• Swirl Snow Clear Stamp Set, 3″ x 4″
• Nordic Layering Clear Stamp Set, 4″ x 6″
• 4 Sheets of Pitch Black Cardstock, 5.5″ x 8.5″
• 4 Sheets each of White, Slate, Winter Blue & Frosted Blue Cardstock, 5.5″ x 8.5″
• White Acrylic Spray, 1 oz.
• 20 Vellum Snowflakes

Premium Kit: $103 Value for $49.99

Let’s get into my card. For my card I wanted to keep the color palettes between the release card and my add-on card simple and elegant. Starting with Dove White  cardstock, I die cut my first layer. My second layer was created using Palm cardstock and my third layer is Cranberry cardstock. I love this color combination.

On the third panel, gold heat embossing was a great option. By using gold embossin powder for my snowflakes and splatter, it really made my card pop. Also dip dying my sentiment (which is a technique I always forget about), I pulled the gold onto the sentiment.

This card is truly a favorite of mine. Remember you can enhance your enamel dots with alcohol markers. I’ll show you in the tutorial.

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

Here is my add-on card using the beautiful Color Layering Folk Winter Animals Stencil. Oh my oh my! This is one gorgeous stencil.

If you can fall in love with a stencil, this one is my boyfriend. LOL This stencil is absolutely PERFECT for your holiday cards.

Remember, I said I was going to keep the color palette similar to my release card. By using the same three colors gold, red and green, this card is equally as gorgeous as the release card.

We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, October 8th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Hope I have inspired you by using the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero October 2023 Premium Kit. Can’t wait to see what you make with yours.  Next on the hop is Emily. Thanks for stopping by today and good luck with the giveaway.
