Hero Arts Spring Catalog Release Hop....

 I was so excited to be invited to share in the latest Hero Arts Catalog Release.  This catalog is full of amazing new products sure to ignite your creativity!  I have several favorites but I wanted to share a couple of them in today's card.  Keep scrolling to check out my project, learn all about the amazing HA Giveaway and see a full list of stops on todays hop!

Here is today's card...

To create this card, I used the new Color Layering Tulip Pattern Stencil.  I blended the full panel but ended up cutting it down to showcase the "smile" die from the new Smile Friend Stamp and Cut XL.  I used the die to cut the sentiment out of the floral panel and then again in yellow cardstock.  I inlayed the sentiment onto the stenciled panel and then popped it up on a white card base.  I used the Tulip Pattern Cover Plate to cut the rest of my panel out and then. used one of the little die cuts to the left of the focal point on my card.  I added some bling with the Translucent Greens Hero Hues Enamel Dots on the card front.  Love the shine and pop of color that the enamel dots add!

And one quick and simple bonus card....

To use up the negative from the Tulip Panel, I made a quick scored frame around a white card base and then added the smile sentiment, with a layer of fun foam behind it, to the bottom of the card.  I added a single green enamel dot for an extra little detail.

A little info about commenting here on my blog....

My comments are moderated because I get a ton of spam.  The kind of spam that tells me about cholesterol medication, among others, and just weird bot comments so I filter those out.  If you leave a comment and don't see it, thats ok!  I will see it and I will get it posted for you.  

The other issue is wether or not you need a google account.  I have my comments set to "anyone" so technically you should be able to leave a comment with any type of login, but Blogger is a pain.  If you can't leave a comment and are not sure if you your name is posting along with your comment, please add your name and email address to the end of your comment. This way we can see who you are if your comment gets chosen as a winner!  I am sorry for the annoyance.  I have no idea why it doesn't work like it should.  I have googled and switched settings around and tried all the things but again... 

Blogger is a pain.

Hero Arts Holiday 2023 Catalog Release Hop

 Welcome to the Hero Arts Holiday Catalog Release Blog Hop!  There are LOTS of amazing paper crafters listed at the end of this post with LOTS to share!  Hero has so many new amazing holiday stamps and dies just in time to get Christmas Crafty!  :) I have 2 quick and simple card to share using some Hero Transfers and a couple new die sets.  Come check it out!  Oh and don't forget to leave a comment for your chance to win.  Details below!  ;)

This first card uses the new die set called Peeking Snowman Fancy Die and a sentiment from Holiday College Hero Transfers....

This card was super easy to make.  First, I took a green card front and attached it to a white card base.  I used the Holiday College Hero Transfers to add in that awesome sentiment.  I love that we are seeing 

Rub-ons make a comeback!  They are so fun and easy to use.  Next, I die cut this cutie snowman die and popped him up next to the sentiment.  Super quick and easy!

This next card uses the Holiday College Hero Transfers again and the 

Candy Cane Fancy Die set....

To create this card, I added the white card front to the white card base.  Before attaching, I did a little masking and ink blending in the top corner just to give the background an easy bit of detail.  I die cut the candy canes and layered them up with the bows included in the set.  To finish off the card, I added in another Holiday College Hero Transfers sentiment.

Hero Arts Summer Catalog Release Hop

Hey there and welcome to the Hero Arts Summer Catalog Release Blog hop!  I am so excited to be joining the girls over at Hero to showcase of few of the new stamps and dies from the latest release.  You can see the full catalog by clicking HERE!

Clean and simple card are my favorite kind.  I love adding color but leaving in a big area of white space.  Today's cards are quick and simple with a fun pop of color using these 3 new products: 

Be You Stamp Set

Color Layering Summer Blooms Stencil

Positive Script Bold Prints Background Stamp

First up, I stenciled that gorgeous floral pattern using the Color Layering Summer Blooms Stencil.  I love how easy it was and, of course, quick!  I used the following inks to create this color combo:

Hero Hues Pale Tomato

Hero Hues Butter Bar

Hero Hues Kiwi

Hero Hues Pine

....along with the Hero Arts Blending Brushes that blend so smoothly!

After creating the full stenciled panel, I stamped on top with the Positive Script Bold Prints Background Stamp.  I love the thin handwritten font to create a quick and easy detail!  

I cut the panel in half so I would have enough for 2 cards.  I used a panel of fun foam to pop them each up on the white card bases. 

Last, I stamped the birds and sentiments from Be You Stamp Set to create to cards of encouragement.

Hero Arts 2021 Catalog Release Blog Hop

Welcome to the Hero Arts 2021 Catalog Blog Hop!  I am so excited to join my friends at Hero to share a few of the latest products from the new catalog.  To see it in full, click HERE!  Keep scrolling for prize information....don't forget to leave a comment on each stop today for more chances to win!  There is also a full list of stops on today's hop.  Let's get started!

This first card uses the new background stamp called Circular Grid Bold Prints.  This background has a million possibilities but I saw it and instantly thought tie dye!  First, I heat embossed it onto white cardstock and then added color to each ring. It was quick and easy to do to give it that messy tie dye look. I used a Rectangle Infinity Die to cut the center out and pop it up on the card base.  Next, I used the new Happy Thanks set to create this fun dimensional sentiment.  I cut thanks out of white cardstock and fun foam, attached them together and then added it to the card front.  

I have always loved text backgrounds so I grabbed another new one to use on today's card.  This scripty background is called Script Bold Prints. 

I stamped the background on pink cardstock and then cut it out with one of the Nesting Postage Infinity Dies.  I added the front panel to  the same light pink card base.   I die cut the Mailbox Fancy Die out out of white cardstock and added that to the front with foam tape.  I added the hello die to the front and did a quick glossy accents coat.  I finished it off with the little envelope tucked in the mailbox with a tiny glittery heart.
