Hero Arts My Monthly Hero July 2022

July 5, 2022

Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero for July 2022. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog.We’re serving up tropical summer vibes with our July My Monthly Hero release! This month’s kit features a flock of flamingos in HeroScape form. Layer the included inks to easily stamp the gorgeous birds, and create a scene with water below and clouds above. Your recipient will be tickled pink when they receive your card, embellished with the colorful gems or Teal Hero Pearls that round out the kit.

The kit contains the following:

• 6″ x 8″ Clear Stamp Set
• 7 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 5 Ink Cubes (Cotton Candy, Peony, Azalea, Arctic, Paradise)
• Self-Adhesive Pink & Teal Gems
• Teal Hero Pearls (0.6 oz)

So let’s start with my card. I trimmed down a piece of Hero Arts Dove White cardstock and blended Hero Arts Mist and Aegean inks to create this pretty background for my flamingos to rest on. Adding the sparkly gems from the kit really anchors my birds.

 

 

A tutorial was made for you today. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

 

My bonus card for today is featuring the new Hero Arts Peacock Die. How fancy is this little one? This die allowed me to create a rainbow feather feature for my peacock. Setting it onto Hero Arts Pitch Black cardstock  and tucking him into a piece of Hero Arts Kiwi cardstock really made it pop. A simple sentiment heat embossed with Hero Arts White Embossing Powder went perfectly on the kiwi cardstock. I used a .10 white gelli roll pen to add some waves and dots around the edges of the cardstock.

Pre-order your kit today – we estimate kit shipping will begin Friday, July 8th and continue throughout the following week. We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, June 10th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Next on the hop is Daniel.  I hope we have inspired you to create beautiful cards with the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero for July 2022. Have a great day everyone and good luck!

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April 2022

April 4, 2022

Welcome to the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero release for April 2022. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog.  Our fun and floral April kit is a celebration of spring as well as the amazing people in all of our lives. It features a gorgeous cling background with bees and flowers. Three layering stencils make the coloring process easy; simply pair them with the inks and blending brush included in the kit, and you’ll quickly have cards in fresh spring colors. Combine the “amazing” word die with the mix and match messages in the stamp set for expressing thanks, celebrating birthdays, sending Mother’s Day greetings and more. We’ve also included dies for highlighting select images from the background, and the kit is rounded out with enamel embellishments which complement the ink colors perfectly.

Kit Contents

• 3″ x 4″ Clear Stamp Set
• 6″ x 6″ Cling Stamp
• 3 6″ x 6″ Color Layering Stencils
• 3 Frame Cuts
• Word Fancy Die & Frame
• 3 Ink Cubes (Rose Madder, Green Apple, Cotton Candy)
• Ink Blending Brush (size may vary)
• Spring Enamel Dots

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero

For my card today I pulled in a pretty color palette with purples and black. This color combo is very striking on a card. Using a larger piece of Hero Arts Dove White cardstock, I heat embossed the bold print background stamp in Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder. Next it was time to add color.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April 2022

Since I already knew who I would be sending this card to and I know she loves purple, I used Hero Arts Orchid and Soft Purples inks for the flowers and Hero Arts Green Hills ink for the leaves. To add it the deep black color, I used Copic markers which I will share with you in the tutorial. Once the coloring was complete, I cut the panel in half diagonally.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero April 2022

To keep the card simple, I placed the panel on the card base overlapping at the corners, added a simple sentiment with a few Hero Arts Enamel dots and gold dashes finished off the card nicely. Let me share with you how to put this card together in the below tutorial.

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my YouTube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate inks have been used at no cost to you. I believe the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit for April 2022 will definitely make your card making super easy.

 

We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, April 10th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

I also have a bonus card for you using the New Shoes and Fancy Hat Dies. These dies make wonderful Mother’s Day cards or birthday cards. I love a happy and bright card and rainbows make everything better.

Hero Arts Shoes and Hat Fancy Dies

For this card I blended Hero Arts inks in the following colors: Strawberry, Tangerine, Dandelion, Lime Green, Soft Pool and Passion Flower to ink up my pretty background along with a few spritz of Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer Spray. Next I die cut several hats from the following cardstock: Cherry, Papaya, Canary, Kiwi, Paradise and Amethyst. I also cut out a few from Dove White card stock so I could paper piece either the brim or the band around the hats.

Hero Arts Shoes and Hat Fancy Dies

To add a little bit of depth on each hat, I used a Copic marker to add in some shading. Using the same marker colors, I added color to the flowers I die cut from the die set. Keeping the card simple, I stamped a happy mother’s day greeting from the Let’s Celebrate stamp set also from Hero Arts.

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.
