Hero Arts April 2023 My Monthly Hero Release Blog Hop & Giveaway

 Hola everyone. Thanks for joining Hero Arts in celebrating the April 2023 My Monthly Hero Kits release. If you hopped over from the awesome Mindy Eggen, you are in the right place. 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.

Trinity Stamps- The Bright Side Release-Instagram Hop

Hola everyone! Today, I am helping Trinity Stamps celebrate their release of the Bright Side over on Instagram. There are some amazing new @trinitystampsllc products to share and awesome inspiration from their DT.  You can hop along with us for your chance to win a $25 gift card to Trinity Stamps store. The hop ends 8/6 @ 11:59 PM PDT.  Winners will be announced on the @trinitystampsllc IG on August 7th.  

Below are the cards I created for the Bright Side Release. I used the Blooming Bunch set for both cards. 

On the first card, I partially stamped the floral image on opposite corners of a 4 Bar card panel.  Trinity Stamps has a 4 Bar card die set so, I did not have to measure.  I colored the images with Copic Markers and added the "hello" die cut from the slim line card die set. 

I love how the "hello" turned out. I was attempting to "watercolor"  using alcohol inks on photo paper. I was not happy with the result, but it was perfect as a die cut! I adhered the matted panel to a base with a few crystal clear rhinestones to complete the card. 

This second card came together very quickly using the off-set stamping technique. I first stamped the the Blooming Bunch floral image with Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink in my mini MISTI. I then offset the image by about an eight of an inch, cleaned the stamp and stamped again using Hero Arts Bubble Gum ink. I added a sentiment from the Trinity Stamps Classroom Cuties set along with a few embellishments from the Rainbow Fish flat back bead mix. 

Head on over to Instagram for all of the information about the hop. Trinity Stamps is the first stop>>>@trinitystampsllc and you can find me along the hops as poconopam. 

Thanks for taking a peek!
