Hero Arts My Monthly Hero December 2022 Release

December 5, 2022

Hey it’s the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero December 2022 release day. I can’t believe we are already to the last kit for 2022. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. This month we invite you to go on a celestial fantasy adventure with us! Our December release is full of stars, galaxies, moons and clouds. The playful December My Monthly Hero kit, with its adorable space cadets, is perfect for birthdays, encouragement, or simply sending a friendly hello. The kit includes a jam-packed 6 x 8 stamp set with coordinating dies. There’s also the perfect cling stamp for your interstellar backgrounds, a gorgeous Rose Gold pigment mini ink pad, and four half sheets of our ever-popular Pitch Black cardstock!

Galaxy overload on this card for sure. LOL I used Hero Arts Deep Ocean and Amethyst Core Inks for the background. For the black piece in the middle, I used Hero Arts Black Watercolor Paper with Iuille metallic watercolors. You will see in the tutorial just how perfect these Hero Arts inks work with these metallic watercolors

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you.

For my bonus card today I used the Hero Art Orbit stamp set. Using the Hero Arts Oval Infinity Dies, I created a mask to first blend on Hero Arts Azalea and Lemon Drop inks in the center of a piece of Hero Arts Dove White Cardstock. Once the blending was complete, I started on the background.

Using the oval that was cut out, I place it over the colorful area so I could blend the background. The background of this card was made using Hero Arts Licorice Reactive Ink along with the Hero Arts Shimmer Spray in Iridescent. Next it was time to heat emboss the Orbit stamp onto the colorful oval using Hero Arts Intense Black Ink and Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder.

I really love how this card came out. A small sentiment stamped on Hero Arts Papaya Cardstock in Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment ink and heat embossed in clear embossing powder.

To finish off the card, I used a few little iridescent stars I had in my stash and placed this panel on a side folding Dove White card base. We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, December 11th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Thanks for stopping by everyone. Next on the hop is Daniel. Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you back here soon.

Holiday Card Series Day 2: Infinity Snowflakes

November 9, 2022

Hello everyone. Welcome to day 2 of the Holiday Card Series 2022 and let’s use Infinity Snowflakes to make our card. Today we are making a layered snowflake card. Infinity dies are an easy way to make quick cards. Just switch out the colors of cardstock on each layered piece and you have endless color scheme.

Making a card with just one theme (meaning I’m not adding anything to the card besides snowflakes) keeps a card looking harmonious. There is nothing to distract your eye from the snowflakes.

By adding the Hero Arts Glitter Paste, I’m able to add texture to to card without a real design that competes with my snowflakes.

Keeping my color palette in a more neutral palette with just a pop of red helps the card brighten up just a bit.

Today’s tutorial will show you how to create this sparkly card with little happiness in your heart. You can watch the tutorial here on the blog or over on my Youtube channel. A supply list has been added below for your shopping ease.

You can find all videos for this years series by click here. Thanks for joining me today. I’ll see you back here for day 3 soon. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Make your gift tags a breeze this year. With my creative juices flowing, I decided to step out of the box and do non traditional holiday colors for my tag. Since I’ve been living in Florida and we seem to only have one season, making brighter holiday cards and tags has become a thing for me. LOL

By using Hero Arts Reactive Inks, being super colorful and bright is easy. For my color combo I used colors which you would see in a sun set. The warm shades of yellow, oranges and pinks is perfect. There is a die that cuts greenery for your tags, however for my tag, Hero Arts Charcoal ink worked magically.

Remember that reactive inks reactive with water. Instead of water, I used the Hero Arts Iridescent Shimmer Spray. I really wish you could see the sparkle on this tag.

I have a tutorial sharing how this tag came together. You can watch it here on the blog or over on my Youtube channel.

For my extra projects, I used the new Hero Arts Mug Tag Fancy die. I mean how cute is this mug of hot chocolate look? When the weather gets a little chilly here in Florida, I love a great mug of hot chocolate.

The inks I used on my mugs were Hero Arts Crimson, Cranberry, Fresh Lawn, Pine, Lemon Yellow and Spicy Mustard. Making pretty ombre mugs makes gift giving fun.

These tags have a TON of sparkle by using the shimmer mist and the Hero Arts Snowflake Glitter.

Thanks for stopping by today. Next on the hopis Daniel. Don’t forget to comment for a chance to win one of the gift certificates. Have a great day and I’ll see you back here soon.

November 6, 2022

Hey everyone It’s countdown day for the soon to be released Hero Arts My Monthly Hero. The November 2022 kit is a smashing good one. If you love creating cards AND tags, yup you need this month’s kit.

This kit has a wonderful fancy die set which allows you so many variations or gorgeous tags and cards. I love a gorgeous tag attached to a gift. But what if your tag and card could be made out of the same die set? Brilliant, I know.

For my card today, I used reds, blues and white as my overall color scheme. Really not a “Christmas” color scheme but I’m stretching my color palette again this year.
