Hero Arts Meadow Heroscape

July 15, 2021

Hey everyone. Today I’m sharing a card using the new Hero Arts Meadow Heroscape stamp set. This is such a beautiful and easy layering stamp set. Let’s get into the card.

Since this stamp set is so easy to line up you can easily make multiple cards at one by just switching out additional pieces of card stock. I started with Hero Arts Dove White cardstock and stamped my first layer in Hero Arts Lime Green ink. Next using the second layer I stamped the image in Hero Arts Fresh Lawn in. Now comes the layer that brings it all together. The third layer was stamped using Hero Arts Soft Purple Ink. I moved the stamped just a little and stamped again in Grape Juice ink.

Look how gorgeous this image already is. Using a few Copic markers I colored in the mushrooms in the detailed part of the stamp. Now it was time to add in the sky. I used a cloud stencil with Hero Arts Dusty Blue ink to build up all the beautiful clouds for the background.

All that was left was to stamp a sentiment in the Hero Arts Grape Juice ink and to add in just a few butterflies from the stamp set in Hero Arts Dandelion ink.

Finishing off the card, I trimmed down the colorful panel and placed in onto Hero Arts Meadow cardstock. I then adhered this panel to a Hero Arts Dove White card base. This card makes my heart so happy. I have linked all the products used for this card below for your shopping ease. I think you are going to love creating cards using the Hero Arts Meadow Heroscape stamp set. If you have any questions, please make sure to leave them in the comments and I’ll be happy to answer them for you.

Have a wonderful day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Daffodil & Glitter Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 7, 2021

Welcome to the Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Daffodil & Glitter Cardstock Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. Today is an exciting day. The Craft-A-Flower Daffodil and new glitter cardstock is beautiful. I’m sharing a card using the Craft-A-Flower Daffodil.

The daffodil is certainly the star of my card. Keeping the card clean and simple allows for the pop of color from the flower to really shine. Using a simple sentiment and grounding the flower by using an embossing folder on the bottom half of the card works.

A simple sentiment and nuvo drops really finish off the clean look of the card.

Altenew Eclectic Vibes Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 5, 2021

Welcome to the Altenew Eclectic Vibes Stamps/Dies/Stencils/Embossing Folders Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. I’m so glad you stopped by today. I’m joining the wonderful design team sharing inspiration for the new release from Altenew. You should have arrived here from Norine’s blog. Let’s see what I have for you today.

The hop is full of eclectic vibes and I’m feeling a throw back coming your way. I’m an 80’s kid and skating on Friday nights was the thing to do? Did you roller-skate every Friday night? Man those are great memories.

My card today is featuring the new Vintage Vibes stamp set , Vintage Vibes coordinating die and the Vintage Vibes Coloring Stencil. This roller skate stamp set has my heart. It’s perfect for those throw back cards and also for cards for teens today. Rollerskating is making a comeback and I’m excited. I know I can’t skate like I used to but hey I can still roll with the best of them.

Pulling out some pastel ink colors I created this 80’s inspired card. The ink colors I used are listed below in the links. Using the die cut I was able to create a pair of skates to flank my pastel one. Oh I’m so loving this card.

For my next card I used the Just A Number stamp set and Just A Number coordinating die. Need to make a quick and easy birthday card? This stamp set is for you. I pulled out the Poured Acrylic 6×6 paper pad for this one. The die cut sentiment was cut out of inked white card stock in Coral Berry ink and layered on white card stock. A birthday sentiment from the stamp set was heat embossed onto black card stock.

Such a striking birthday card with very little effort. You can even use the sentiments inside of a card if you wish.

Hero Arts Birthday Balloon Bold Prints Card

June 25, 2021

Hey everyone. I’ve shared two days of easy birthday cards and today I have one more for you. This card is very clean and simple as the sentiment give us our pop of color. The Hero Arts Birthday Balloon Bold Print and the Hero Arts Birthday Messages Stamp and Cut XL work perfectly for these quick cards you need asap.

Hero Arts Birthday Balloon Bold Print

When there isn’t any time to color, grab a colorful background to create your sentiment. I had this alcohol ink background sitting in a drawer waiting to be placed on a card. Using the die from the Birthday Message Stamp and Cut XL, I die cut it from the panel. Stacking several of the sentiments on top of each other gave my card a little height. Remember stacking your sentiments with dove white cardstock is a great way instead of using foam tape.

Again a simple black and white backgound and the card is complete. Birthday Balloons Bold Print for the win!

I have several alcohol ink backgrounds to use up and what a perfect way to spice up my birthday sentiments. Products are listed below for your shopping ease. Thanks for checking out the blog post today. If you missed the post with the Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons and the Hero Arts Birthday Borders Fancy Die, click the links. Have a great day everyone and see you back here soon.

Hero Arts Birthday Border Fancy Die

June 24, 2021

Hey everyone. I promised more birthday cards this week so here’s another quick one. Using a cover die or border die is a great way to make a quick card. The design element is already there for you all you need is a sentiment. Check out this card I made using the Hero Arts Birthday Border Fancy die.

Keeping this card super simple with just a ombre-ish background panel of Hero Arts Lemon Drop, Key Lime Fizz and Pool Party Reactive inks. Using the Hero Arts Blending Brushes made this background perfect to make for this card.

For added dimension, I did cut the border die two times and adhered them together with Hero Arts Precision Glue.

I’m not sure you can see it in the photo but for a tad bit of shimmer on the card, I used the Hero Arts Iridescent Shimmer Spray. I love this stuff as it’s so sparkly and pretty.
