Hero Arts Spring 2024 Catalog Release Blog Hop

Hola everyone. Thanks for joining Hero Arts in celebrating the the Spring 2024 Catalog Release! If you hopped over from Dana Joy, you landed in the right place. Aren't her cards awesome? To  start the hop from the beginning, visit the Hero Arts Blog. 

The Hero Arts 2024 Spring Catalog is filled with new card making and stamping products to keep your creativity flowing. It features new products that are ideal for card making and stamping. 

For my first card, I used the "I Appreciate You" set. I love creating cards with a "stair-step" effect using three or more colors. I also really, really, really like pink and orange color combo! 

This card is great for Valentine's Day or any occasion you want to let someone know how special they are! 

Card Instructions

1. Cut Dove White, Ultra Pink, Azalea and Coral cardstock to 

    4.25" X 5.5" panels. 

2. Arrange and die-cut a Nesting Infinity Heart onto the Ultra Pink    

    cardstock. 

3. Place the Azalea panel beneath the Ultra Pink panel. 

4. Arrange the next smallest Nesting Infinity Heart onto the Azalea 

    cardstock - lining it up with the Ultra Pink heart. Adhere the die

    with low tack or Washi tape. 

5. Remove the Ultra Pink panel; die-cut the Azalea panel. 

6. Repeat steps 2-5 with Azalea and Coral cardstock. 

7. Heat emboss a sentiment in gold onto the Ultra Pink panel. 

8. Place Coral panel on the white panel; arrange stamp onto the 

    panel for placement; remove the Coral panel. 

9. Stamp and color the image onto the white panel

10. Die-cut the coordinating image on gold cardstock and adhere the 

      heart onto the image. 

11. Adhere the die cut panels together creating a "stair-step".

12. Adhere the stacked panel to the stamped panel with foam tape for

      dimension.

13. To complete the card, add a few sequins. 

Be sure to save the die-cut hearts to create another card or project. 

For my second project, I used the new Square Scallop Infinity Fancy 

Dies along with the Birthday Animals set to create a 4" X 4" notecard. 

Card Instructions

1. Create a 4" X 4" white notecard card base.

2. Die-cut a Square Scallop Infinity Die in Palm; adhere to card base. 

3. Stamp the Birthday Balloon Bold Print onto white cardstock; 

    die-cut with the next smallest Scallop Die. 

4. Stamp sentiment on balloon panel; adhere to Palm panel.

5. Stamp, color, die-cut and adhere a animal from the Birthday

    Animal Set; adhere to card front. 

6. Add enamel dots to complete.

Hero Arts Summer 2021 Catalog Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hola everyone! Hope you are having a great day! 

Thanks for joining Hero Arts in celebrating the 2021 Summer Catalog with a blog hop and giveaway. If you hopped over from the talented Mindy you are in the right place. To start the hop from the beginning, visit the Hero Arts blog. The entire blog list can be found at the bottom of this post, along with the giveaway information.

I adore the Hero Lifestyle Collection and was excited to see a new addition. The 2021 Spring Catalog introduces Hero Lifestyle RBG, a nod to the amazing late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The robe included in the set inspired me to create a children's choir. 

I die-cut the robes in Mustard cardstock. Next I created several diamonds using two Nested Diamond Infinity dies which I cut in half to create v-neck stoles. 

Using the Hero Lifestyles Forms set, I die-cut human figures in Antique Ivory, Pebble and Chestnut cardstock.  

I die-cut hair, shoes and glasses for the choir members in Pitch Black cardstock using both the Hero Lifestyle Forms and Picnic sets. 

I assembled the choir members and set them aside. 

Next, I swiped Berry Smoothie, Fruit Punch and Lemon Drop reactive Inks next to each onto a glass mat and spritzed with water. I laid Dove White cardstock into the ink and pressed for a few moments. I removed the cardstock and let dry. This technique created a beautiful "watercolor" design! I then cut the panel to 3 1/2" X 8 1/2" and matted it with Pitch Black cardstock.

I placed the matted card panel onto a  4" X 9"slimline Dove White card base and assembled the choir in two rows. I popped the front row with foam squares. 

To finish the card, I stamped "Rise Up" from the Hero Arts Unity Collection Power To the People clear stamp set onto Dove White cardstock. I trimmed, matted and placed it into the hands of two choir members.

Hero Arts September 2020 My Monthly Hero Release Blog Hop

Hola everyone! Pocono Pam here! Thanks for joining Hero Arts in celebrating the September 2020 My Monthly Hero Kit Release. If you hopped over from the talented Nichol you are in the right place.

Today I am sharing a clean and simple card I created using the Pumpkin Patch HeroScape Color Layering set included in the kit. It comes together very quickly and I hope you will give it a try. 

I stamped the layered pumpkin patch image two times using my MISTI stamping tool. The blue ink colors I used are: Pool, Soft Pool and Cornflower. These colors can be found together in the Sky Blues Dye Cubes Set. I also used Intense Black Ink. 

I cut the stamped images into 1/4" strips. I was not sure how many I wanted to use, but knew I needed to have enough on hand. 

Placing the strips onto a Dove White Top Folded Card, I interlaced several and decided to work with four. I cut four ends at an angle and adhered the strips to the card with precision glue. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment and added Blues Hero Hues Enamel Dots. 

I hope you enjoyed my clean and simple card.  Next on the hop is the awesome Seeka! 

Thanks for taking a peek.

2018 Stamping for Awareness Blog Hop

"Autism is not a disability, it is a different ability."

                                                                    -Stuart Duncan

Hola crafty friends!!! Thanks for stopping by! I personally know AWESOME children and adults with Autism.   

That is why I am super excited and honored to be a part of the

 2018 Stamping forAutism Awareness Blog Hop

I created this card with the Pink and Main Somebunny Stamp Set & Coordinating Die along with the 

Pink and Main Heart Puzzle Die ❤️ 

 Using colors most commonly found on Autism Awareness ribbons and puzzle pieces, I colored the image with Copic Markers. Placing a piece of sticker paper on red cardstock prior to running the heart puzzle die, ensured the puzzle pieces would stay together. The sentiment is included in the Somebunny Stamp set.
The card came together pretty easy:kraft and black cardstock, score-tape, sequins and a bit of glue.   

Thanks for taking a peek!
