Hey everyone. It’s the October Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Countdown for October 2023. I’m having the fever for holiday cards! In this month’s kits you will be WOWED with the stunning work the creative team has done.

Working a gray this year into my holiday cards, so this was the perfect time to pull out my Hero Arts Charcoal ink for some fun stamping.

Hero Arts Bold Prints

September 26, 2023

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the blog. Today we are playing with the Hero Arts Bold Prints. I absolutely love the Gingko Leaves Bold Print for a stunning background for my card. If you are new to Hero Arts bold prints, they are definitely a product you want to have in your stash to create cards.

For my card today, I kept it very simple by using different hues of green inks. By using a variation of greens, I am able to keep this card monochromatic in feel and intensity. If you want to draw the eye into the center of your cards, ink blend your ink around the edge. It also makes it look ever so elegant.

As a reminder, you can use several of your bold prints together. Using a word bold print over a clean and simple bold print, you add tons of texture to a card with little effort.

Since the bold prints took up the background, I needed to add a sentiment on vellum. Vellum is a great way to add a sentiment without blocking out what’s behind it. The sentiment I used today is the Live and Let Love stamp.  This is one of my favorite sentiments! And look how pretty it is with our background.

I hope I’ve inspired you to grab these products for your next cardmaking venture. If you want to see more cards I’ve made using Hero Arts products, click here. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Hero Arts Hello Fungi

September 15, 2023

Who doesn’t love an adorable mushroom stamp set? The Hero Arts Hello Fungi stamp set is perfect for stepping into your fall card. With the beautiful line art of this stamp set, you can easily color this with your Copic markers or do what I did, and color it with your color pencils. I think this stamp said would be beautiful stamped in gold on black cardstock.

With fall colors right around the corner, I decided to pull in Hero Arts Woodland and Arctic cardstock. By placing the image on one of the Arches infinity dies it really allows the fungi to be present on this card.

As a reminder, if you want to color on color cardstock with your color pencils, be sure to add a base coat of white underneath your color. This way your colors would not be muted back into the colored background.

By chance your color is too dark, you can lighten up by adding in white on top. Make sure to use light layers of color and build up your layers. If you press too hard, you will add a wax to your cardstock and you won’t be able to build up your color to a nice blend.

I can’t wait to see what you create with the beautiful  Hero Arts Hello Fungi stamp set. If you want to see more cards, I have created using products from Hero Arts, you can click this link here. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Happy Gnomes

September 11, 2023

Hey everyone. I have a card using the Hero Arts Happy Gnomes stamp set. These gnomes are absolutely adorable. Within the stamp set you will have a few gnomes to play with as well as a few accent pieces.

Happy Gnomes

For a cute love in the forest, I paired the stamp set with the Hero Arts Woodlands Forest Stencil  and ink blending cool colors of  Hero Arts Sand and Espresso. To pull your eye to the coloring and stencil, I used the Hero Arts Infinity Arches dies. The arches give this card a different vibe compared to a circle or square.

We are heading into fall so I’ve been using a cooler color palette with Hero Arts Cherry and Woodland cardstock. Now I might not keep that up but for now it’s my jam.The cardbase is Hero Arts Side Folded card.

To color up these images, I used my Copic markers. Copic colors were kept to a minimum to keep the card towards the cooler palette. Leave a comment below if you would like the colors I used. I haven’t colored up many images lately so it was a great time to use them. The Happy Gnomes stamp set is ready for your shopping card. Links to all the products used are below. See ya back here soon.
