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.

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.

Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering u Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering up my @heroarts bold prints. I love the look for texture on cards and by using two great bold prints, I created this beauty. A good tip to layering your bold prints, keep it simple! If your bold prints are too busy, layering them will be difficult. 

For my card I used the Hero Arts Ginkgo Leaves and Positive Script bold prints. The script bold print is small enough that it doesn't overpower the leaves. And you don't have to be perfect with the script either as you are just giving the look for words not something that needs to be readable. Perfect match in cardmaking heaven.

You can find all the products I used on the blog today including this beautiful sentiment you see on my card. (it's one that speaks to my heart). Link is in the bio. Have a wonderful day everyone.
