For my card using this month’s kit, red and gold was my go to color combination. I think red and gold cards are so striking. Making cards is a simple palette really allows for the design to come to life. Mixing up my mediums too by using Hero Arts Gold Wax and Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder.

By pulling just a few pieces from the kit, I was able to create this stunning card. Remember I said that keeping a simple color palette makes a card really shine.

I have a tutorial for you using the kit to show you just how easy this card came together.

You can watch the video here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate inks have been used at no cost to you.

Now for a card using the Sprinkled Dots stencil from the add-ons for this month. For this card, I started by taping off three sections on the card. To add color to this piece, I used Pan Pastels in Permanent Red Shade, Rich Gold and Permanent Green Extra Dark. Once I removed the tape, I used the Hero Arts Sprinkled Dots stencil with Hero Arts Gold and White Paste. This created a lovely background.

Pulling in a earthly element, I decided to place this panel on a Hero Arts Sand Side Folding Card. For the sentiment, I pulled out the Very Merry Christmas Cover Plate. By using just the letter from the die, I was able to get a large sentiment for my card. The sentiment has some weight to it as I stacked each letter three times finishing off with the top letter being in Hero Arts White Glitter Paper.

This was truly an easy and beautiful card to put together.

Next on the hop is Daniel. Make sure to leave comments along the way for your chance to win a $50 gift certificate to Hero Arts. Have a great week everyone.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Countdown

September 30, 2022

Welcome everyone. I’m thrilled to be back in my craft space (on a limited basis for now) and working on the soon to be released Hero Arts My Monthly Hero. We are gearing up for the holidays with this release and it’s oh so pretty.

This month’s kit is full of holiday cheer. If you love silhouette images for your holiday cards, this kit is for you. I wanted to keep to a blue color palette for my card today. With all the beautiful colors of blue Hero Arts has to offer, I was covered. The colors I used were Dusty Blue, Cornflower and Nautical.

By using my Hero Arts Blending Brushes, I was able to achieve this beautiful background. For a splash of shimmer, my Hero Arts Shimmer Mist definitely came in handy. I trimmed down my panel with colorful panel using the Hero Arts Hexagon Infinity dies making sure to cut an extra piece in black cardstock for an added shadow layer.

The background you see on the card, well that was create with a product from the kit. 😉 Thanks for stopping by for the Hero Arts Sneak Peek MMH October 2022 kit. Make sure to come back on Monday October 3rd for kit reveal and a tutorial. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Hey everyone. We are on day 7 of the Holiday Card Series for 2021. Today I’m working with Concord & 9th products for a lovely watercolored card design. I had to do a little bit of watercoloring for this series again. Watercoloring for me in such a easy thing to do. I don’t overthink the process as I just let it flow.

The color palette today is from the Ink Combos Guide you can find the in sidebar of the blog. It’s a free download for you to use for your holiday cards or beyond.
