To start the hop from the beginning, visit the Hero Arts Blog. The entire hop list can be found at the bottom of this post, along with the giveaway information.

Our release for April is a fun, eclectic mix of florals and mixed media! Our Classic Kit includes a 6" x 8" stamp set full of elements to mix and match for creating flower clusters, vases filled with blooms, and interesting patterns - either in the background or right on the flowers and vases themselves! Two red rubber cling stamps add even more pattern options. There are dies to cut out all of the elements, including the messages. An exclusive washi tape with a handwritten script pattern can be added to your design or on your envelopes, and four Core Ink cubes round out this version of the kit.

For my first card, I used the floral clear stamp and a sentiments.

 

For my second card I used the Tea Kettle Fancy Die, a coordinating add-on to the April MMH Kits.

I hope the April 2023 Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kits inspire you to create cards expressing thanks, celebrating birthdays, sending Mother's Day greetings and more.

My First Tunnel Card!

Day 15

#thedailymarker30day

I created my very first inside tunnel card! I watched Jennifer McQuires's YouTube video over and over and over and finally decided to go for it. As I mentioned in previous posts, during this challenge, I challenged myself to create more cards! I grabbed the Diamond Press Tropical Stamps and Dies Set I purchased and hoarded from HSN a few years ago and went to work! 

I used Ink on 3 FadeOut Ink to stamp the palm trees as I did not want dark lines. I then used my copic markers to color them in. The sentiment is from *Pink and Main's Hello Die Set. Oval: Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Oval Dies. 

Click >>Here<<< for Jennifer's tutorial. Give it a try. If you post your card anywhere, please tag me as I would love to see your work!

Thanks for taking a peek!!!

Heart Tree

Day 5

#thedailymarker30day

Kathy of The Daily Marker suggests that we set aside 10-15 minutes day to color during the 30 Day Coloring Challenge that she hosts. Today, I colored for about 1 minute and took another 5 to create a quick card. It was all a happy accident. I did not set my plates up correctly in my Cricut* Cuttlebug for my initial pass of the My Favorite Things* Heart Tree die. Therefore all of the pieces did not cut out. At first, I was a bit frustrated . Then, not wanting to waste paper, I thought I could turn my mistake into a card. Ususally, when I set out to make a clean and simple card, my end result is messy and complicated! I love how this card turned out! 

Copic Marker: BG13, ClearWink of Stella

Sentiment: My Favorite Things* Pure Innocence I Wish You Were Here

Pink & Main Make-n-Take

 Today I had such a great time instructing the 

Pink & Main GIFT BAG Make-n-Take at the Stampfest here in New Port Richey, Florida! This set is easy to assemble and perfect for small gifts and gift cards.    

For an embossed look, using the same color as your bag, adhere 

flower and petal shapes from the set! 

These are adorable and so very easy to make! 

Wouldn't these be adorable for Halloween treats or party favors? 

Instagram friends Beverly (@jordanbev5) and Cyndi (@raccyn) stopped by to say hi! 

Pink & Main fans and new visitors alike enjoyed the Make-n-Take!
