Hero Arts September 2023 MMH CLASSIC Release

September 5, 2023

Welcome to the Hero Arts September 2023 MMH CLASSIC Release. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Our September release includes one of our most popular product combinations – a window die with coordinating layering stencils! In this beautiful fall-themed kit, the window is decorated with leaves and mushrooms, ideal for the autumn season. The kit’s 4×6 stamp set features decorated script messages which can nestle perfectly within the window. There are four ink cubes to use with the layering stencils, and a white lacquer pen for adding spots to your mushrooms – or for any other creative ideas you may have! And calling all shaker card aficionados – we’ve got you covered with clear card panels in the kit, too.

CLASSIC
• Fall Messages Clear Stamp Set, 4″ x 6″
• 3 Color Layering Stencils, 5.25″ x 6.5″
• Coordinating Fall Window Die
• 4 Core Ink Cubes (Spicy Mustard, Caramel, Cherry, Espresso)
• 8 Clear Card Panels, 4.25″ x 5.5″
• Unicorn Lacquer Pen

For my card today I used all the inks included in the kit! This is such a pretty fall color palette. And if you have been to my blog before, you know I love me a good color palette. Even though the fall season is here in the US, we are still burning up here in Florida. So I can only get my fall vibes off of a card right now. LOL

To add just a punch of color, I pulled in some beautiful teal blue paper. The Hero Arts Adriatic paper was the perfect color.

The muted hue of this paper works well with deep reds, yellows and browns. Give it a try with your fall cards.

As usual, I have a tutorial for you today. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy And if you want to see what other cards I have made with Hero Arts releases, click here.

I also have an add-on card for you today featuring the HEro Arts Pumpkins and Leaves Transfer. Talk about easy cardmaking. With these rub-ons there is no coloring required. That’s a win when you need quick cards. To keep with the fall theme, I pulled in shades of orange, yellow and a hint of light brown.

The beautiful background was created using the new Leaves and Swirls stencil.

Pre-order your kit today – we estimate kit shipping will begin Friday, September 8th and continue throughout the week. Remember you can subscribe to your kit/kits each month and never miss out. Let’s not forget about the giveaway either.

Next on the hop Emily! Have a great time hoping around. Take cae!

Simon Says Stamp STAMPTEMBER

September 2, 2023

Hey everyone. I’m so EXCITED to be joining Simon Says Stamp Stamptember. I had the absolute pleasure of working with the new CZ Designs Enjoy Phrases stamp set. With my birthday card stash being every low, this was the perfect chance to replenish those cards

Each of these cards were made with the CZ Designs Enjoy Phrases and the Simon Says Stamp Stepped Back Blocks stencil. I used all Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks in happy and fun color combinations. For the first card I used shades of yellow, greens and blues.

My next card was all about monochromatic shades of blue. Have you seen this trend on my IG the past few posts. I just loving a great monochromatic look. Oh with a pop of gold…stunning!

This one here is screaming sunner vibes as we leave this season behind us. And I added just a touch of bling to this one!

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Countdown

September 1, 2023

The Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Countdown has begun. We can’t wait to share this release with you. We are heading into fall and the temps are getting cooler. It was the perfect time to make a card with a monochromatic blue palette.

Shades of blue on a card feel so calming to me. I have several shades of blue n my home and I feel it makes it feel cozy and inviting.

Mixing blue shades on your card or in your home will make you feel at peace. Well I guess in my case it does.

Can’t wait for you to see the rest of the release. See you back here on TUESDAY (Monday is a holiday). Take care!

Hero Arts Holiday 2023 Catalog Release Blog Hop

August 24, 2023

Welcome to the Hero Arts Holiday 2023 Catalog Release Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. It’s time to get ready for the holiday season. I love making cards for family and friends during the holiday season. So let’s get started.

I’m sharing cards I made using several products from the catalog. My first card is using the Hero Arts Style Moderne Bold Print. I’m absolutely in LOVE with this bold print. The style of the print is so unique and can be used for any season of the year. Keeping this card with a simple color palette really made the design stand out. Only a sentiment from the Hero Arts Holiday Season Messages and a few black enamel dots and this card was complete.

For my next card golden snowflakes on Hero Arts Nautical cardstock was the way to go. The new Hero Arts Three Snowflakes Hot Foil Plate looks so rich with a darker background. It really makes a holiday card look elevated. To make the snowflakes stand out even more, I darkened the edges of my cardstock with Hero Arts Nautical ink.

And for my last card, we have an adorable little elf. The Hero Arts Peeking Elf Fancy Die really does make a sweet and fun card. I have him peeking out from a present I made. Isn’t he just too cute. All the Peeking Fancy Dies from the catalog are perfect for cards, tags and so much more. By using a newish color palette for my holiday card made this card special. The Hero Arts Cranberry, Arctic and Pine cardstock work well together when creating holiday cards.

We’ll be giving away two $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left along the hop. Comment on all the blogs for more chances to win! You have until Thursday, August 31 at 11:59pm to enter. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.
