Hero Arts City Park Heroscape

December 18, 2021

Morning everyone. I have a card today using the new Hero Arts City Park Heroscape stamp set for December. This stamp set is perfect for our friends who live in a city environment. All the images remind of NYC and Central Park. When my son lived in NYC, I had the chance to stroll through Central Park and it was amazing. The hustle and bustle of the city really made me miss living closer to a big city.

 

Being from New Jersey, we used to visit the Big Apple during the summers with friends and family. When I got married, my brother-in-law lived in NYC and was a dancer of Alvin Ailey. We would go visit him and see a show. The memories of these times are priceless. My card was kept very clean and simple with a navy, gold and white color palette. I used Hero Arts Nautical cardstock, Hero Arts Gold Glitter Embossing Powder and Tulip puffy paint for the snow.

 

 

To deepen up the navy I did sponge on some Hero Arts Navy ink in a few random spots to intensify the color a little bit. And the puffy paint is perfect for making snow.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon with another card featuring Hero Arts products.

Holiday Card Series 2021 – Day 8 Waffle Flower

November 15, 2021

(Affiliate links used at no cost to you)

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the Holiday Card Series 2021. We are on day 8 and the products today are from Waffle Flower. Today I felt like a little ink blending and a cover plate die would be a great match up. Using distress oxide inks with the Waffle Flower Poinsettia Cover Die help me make a stunning card.

 

This color palette is number 5 in the Ink Combos Guide! Love the non-traditional colors this creates for a holiday card.

 

 

 

My second card I used the same color palette however I switched up the stamp set. This time I used the Snowflake Background Stencil from Waffle Flower. Look how gorgeous those snowflakes are. The sentiments used on both cards are from the Waffle Flower Wonderful Christmas stamp set and coordinating dies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By adding coordinating sequins I found in my stash, this card finished off beautifully.

 

 

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel. All product used are listed below.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here for day 9 of the holiday card series.

Simon Says Stamp Handmade Holiday Release

November 10, 2021

Hey everyone. This morning I’m sharing a card using a new product from the Handmade Holiday Release from Simon Say Stamp. My card is featuring the Holly Branch Embossing Folder. WOW this embossing folder is stunning.

To create this gorgeous background I first spritzed a piece of white cardstock with Rangers Distress Mica Spray. Next I dried the cardstock with my heat tool until all the moisture was out of the paper. Pulling out my embossing folder, I placed the paper inside with the embossed side facing the paper and ran it through my die cutting machine.

 

Since I had not played with my Nuvo Mousse in a very long time, I decided to buff it over the embossed paper to give it an aged look. Oh the shine on this card is incredible in real life!

 

I used my R39 Copic marker to color over the berry and finished the card off with the Simon Says Stamp Large Joy die cut!

 

This was an incredibly easy card to make. You can use different colors of mica spray and the Nuvo mouse! Make sure to swing back by here at 1:00pm EST today for the next tutorial for the Holiday Card Series 2021. See ya then.

Beautiful Night Sky Holiday Cards

October 16, 2020

Hey peeps. Still playing with the October 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit. I’m making some beautiful night sky holiday cards.  These cards are easy to create. Pretty much a one layer and done.

If you missed my post using bright colors for holiday cards, check out this post Colorful Ornaments Holiday card.  I pulled in the same pink I used on that card and paired it with grape juice and navy ink. This allowed me to have a spectacular night sky for my card.

Night Sky Holiday Card

I masked off a portion of the card to create a snowy hill. Sponging on the layers of ink above that making sure to work my colors into the paper. Starting with the pink in the lower portion of the panel and working my way up to the navy. I LOVE how this night sky turned out. Next I stamped sleigh Santa’s in embossing ink and heat set it with white embossing powder. Of course I needed to add my favorite white iridescent shimmer spray.

Night Sky Holiday Card

For the trees and deers, I stamped them multiple times in Cocoa ink to get them nice and dark. Night sky holiday cards are just so beautiful to make.

Night Sky Holiday Card

Show us your night skies using this My Monthly Hero kit. We are inspired by your creativity. Be sure to tag @heroarts on Instagram. See you back here soon.
