Hero Arts My Monthly Hero July 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!


Altenew July 2022 Summer Sunshine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Welcome to the Altenew July 2022 Summer Sunshine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes). You should have arrived here from Laurie’s blog. The release has a great summer vibe and will make your summer cards look oh so fabulous.

Let’s get into my card. I used the Altenew Monsteras and Quotes Stamp Set, Monsteras and Quotes Simple Coloring Stencil and the Altenew Monsteras and Quotes Die Set. I love very graphic leaves and this stamp set has just that AND fantastic sentiment to go along with it.

I kept my card very clean and simple. Lots of white space along with black and white polka dot washi tape to frame out the sentiment panel. Stamping the leaves in Altenew Black ink and then using the stencil with Altenew Bamboo and Altenew Grass Fields inks really makes the leaves pop. Using the coordinating the dies helps to trim them out nicely.

The cleanness of just the three colors of black, white and green truly makes this card a stunner.

Altenew June 2022 Today is the Day Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Welcome to the Altenew June 2022 Today is the Day Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Natalie’s blog. Let’s get into the hop.

 

My card today is featuring the new Altenew Climbing Leaves stamp set and coordinating Climbing Leaves die. Creating my card was so much fun. Using white cardstock, I blended on a base color of Altenew Bamboo ink to create a gorgeous green backdrop for my leaves. Next I stamped the Climbing Leaves stamp set in Altenew Parrot ink.

Altenew June Release

Using the coordinating die I die cut out the leaves. For a pop of color behind the die, I used the Altenew two pieces of Rouge card stock from the Red Sunset Gradient Cardstock set. Using Altenew Rouge ink I stamped out a few sentiments from the Altenew Bold Sentiments stamp set. These sentiments were popped up on the top of the card. Next the card panel was placed onto a white card base measuring 6×6.

 

My next card was created using a sentiment from the Climbing Leaves stamp set and the Altenew Linked Ovals Embossing Folder. A bright yellow really allowed the embossing folder to create a beautiful border for the sentiment.

 

When using embossing folders, stretch your design by cutting the design in half so a sentiment will fit nicely in between. A few yellow gems finished off this card.

 

For my last card I used the Altenew Sentimental Florals stamp set and coordinating Sentimental Florals stencil and dies. I have to say this card is absolutely my favorite. Keeping the card clean and simple but with a graphic layout really makes this card a winner. Pulling colors from the flowers, I added a graphic element by splitting the background with pink and black cardstock.

 

A soft purple was blended in the center of the flowers to keep the color palette working. A simple sentiment heat embossed in white onto black cardstock kept the card simple. For added interest, a few white pearls were added to complete the card design.

Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3 + Giveaway (over $2,000 in Total Prizes)

Welcome to the Altenew 8th Anniversary Blog Hop Day 3! This is a hop with over $2,000 in total prizes. You should have arrived here from Butterfly Reflections, Ink blog. I have so much to share with you today so let’s get started.

 

 

My anniversary card for the Altenew hop was created using the Paint-A-Flower Sweet Pea stamp set. This stamp is so precious and easy to color. The sweet pea holds the symbolic meaning of blissful pleasure. Its upright, clumping flower clusters also symbolize good wishes, friendship, kindness, and goodbyes. It’s such a beautiful flower to gift someone who might be moving away or as a gift of new friendship. A simple watercolor was with the Altenew Woodless Watercolor Pencils made coloring this flower so easy.

 

A simple sentiment offset from the sweet pea keeps the card simple and elegant. With a light splatter of gray watercolor creating just a little texture.

Clean and simple with just a hint of color from the pencils and this card was almost complete. To finish off the card I trimmed down the white panel so I could have a midtone gray card stock peek behind the panel before I placed it on a white card base.

Hero Arts Spring Catalog 2022 Blog Hop

Welcome to the Hero Arts Spring Catalog 2022 blog hop. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Today I’ll be sharing card inspiration using newly released products from the spring catalog. So let’s get into the cards shall we?

The first card is featuring the Flowers In Vase stamp set. This stamp set has the large flowers and nine sentiments. Also available are the coordinating frame cuts and layering stencils. The flowers are a wonderful graphic design and they fill up a card nicely. Pair this stamp with a simple background stamp like the Passing Clouds Bold Print to make a simple yet elegant card.

 

 

For my next card, I’m still working with florals. The simple Tulip Bouquet has seven sentiments in the set and a few little critters. It also have a coordinating frame cut and color layering stencil. Within the catalog there are coloring suggestions to make your card making super easy. So if you don’t have the new Spring Catalog 2022 I would suggest picking it up as it’s full of inspiration.

 

 

And my last card today is featuring a sentiment from the Let’s Celebrate stamp set. We all need a little bit of celebrating every now and again and this stamp set is perfect for those style of cards. I paired one of the sentiments with the United People Bold Print stamp. By ink blending the background this card came together in no time.

 

The simple sentiment really makes the card stand out.

Next on the hop is Daniel. We will give away THREE $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, February 20 at 11:59pm pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Have fun on the hop and I’ll see you back here soon.
