Hero Arts Holiday Catalog Release Blog Hop

August 18, 2021

Hello everyone and welcome to the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog Release Blog Hop. I’m so excited to share card inspiration using products from this catalog. There are so many new products I’m sure you are going to fall in love with. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Let’s get into the cards I have to share with you.

My first card is featuring the Hero Arts Holly Berries Stamp Set and the Hero Arts Holly Berries Fancy die. I love the simplicity of the lines of this image and the presence of it on a card. It’s large enough to be the star of a card without having to do loads of coloring or adding many details to the card.

For the second card I’m using the Hero Arts Holiday Ornaments and Hero Arts Holiday Ornaments Fancy Dies. These ornaments are absolutely gorgeous. I used Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors for my medium on this card however you can use Copic markers, color pencils or the Hero Arts Layering Ornaments Stencil.

My last card might just be my favorite. The Hero Arts Geometric Spiral Stencil is awesome! I LOVE a fabulous graphic stamp, die or stencil and this one fits the bill perfectly! Filling in the design with a white gelly roll pen steps up the look just a bit.

I have linked all the products I used for this card below just in case you would like to recreate them on your own. Next on the hop is Daniel. I’ve included the entire list of participants in case you get lost along the way. There is also a giveaway today. We will give away THREE $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, August 29th at 11:59pm pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

Gina K Designs Guest Designer

February 25, 2021

Hey hey peeps. I’m super excited to be Gina K Designs Guest Designer this month. I simply adore Gina and her amazing team. Gina’s products are some of the prettiest in the craft community and she is one heck of a sweet and caring human being.

My card is featuring the Some Bunny stamp set and coordinating dies. Oh this stamp set truly reminds me of Easter. I remember getting my Easter basket each year and couldn’t wait to dig into the jelly beans, marshmallow Peeps and colorful Easter eggs. This stamp set brings me back to a sweet time in my life. This card was so much fun to make with all the bright and happy colors inks from Gina K. Designs.

Using all the eggs, I stamped them in rainbow of colors on my card for my card. Diecutting them out helped to create a border on my card. I also sponged on a fun circle background using the Rina K Designs Sending Sunshine stencil in the same colors of ink.

Stamping a simple sentiment down the middle of my card kept my card colorful and bright. I love layering bright colored cards on black cardstock. It just makes the color pop even more.

For a bit of added interest I pulled out some colorful jewels in matching colors for a little bit of sparkle on my card. Make sure to head on over to the Gina K. Designs blog to see more of the more inspiration from the release. Thank you Gina for giving me the chance to be a guest designer for this release. I’ll be back with another card tomorrow from the release. Have a great day everyone.

Hero Arts Rolling Hills

November 27, 2020

Hey everyone. Today’ I’m sharing a card made with the Hero Arts Rolling Hills Window Die. This die is incredible for quick and easy cards. Check out this soft and elegant holiday card.

I paired the Hero Arts Rolling Hills Window die with the Hero Arts Etched Winter Scene Bold Prints stamp. Stamping in image in soft pink ink for my base color then stamping again with embossing ink and sprinkling it with Hero Arts Sparkle Embossing Powder. Oh MY that embossing powder is amazing with this ink color.

After heat setting the embossing powder I die cut the in Dove White cardstock. I layered this piece on top of embossed background with Hero Arts precision glue. For the sentiment I used the Merry Christmas from the Winter Woods Heroscape stamp set.

For added interest I added some glitter to the rolling hills of the die cut. Also added some sparkle gems for good measure.

Lastly this panel was adhered to a Soft Pink card panel and placed on a white card base. I love the softness this card has. To see move cards made using Hero Arts products click here. Thanks for stopping by today. See you back here soon.

Hero Arts Holiday Blessings

November 19, 2020

Morning everyone. Ready for a clean and simple card? Today I’m sharing the Hero Arts Holiday Blessings stamp set and the Linocut Bold Background stamp. If you need quick and simple cards this pair of products work perfectly together.

A simple color palette and a cute focal point on is all you need if you need quick and simple cards. The Holiday Blessings stamp set is gorgeous with simple words and great accent pieces of holly and leaves. The bold background of the Lincocut background stamp keeps this card slightly masculine. We all need those masculine cards don’t we?

Adding just a few embellishments completed this card nicely. Remember you don’t have to fuss over a quick and simple card.

I hope you enjoyed your visit today. Products are listed below. Affiliate links were used at no cost to you. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.
