Thinking Of You

My first card features the gorgeous new Craft-A-Flower: Southern Magnolia Layering Die Set. I die cut all of the pieces from white cardstock and then used Copic markers and the Copic Airbrush system to add color softly to all of the pieces. Then I used the registration marks and numbers on each piece to easily layer and glue them together. I used glue dots to adhere the blooms to a very pale blush background panel that I created using the Modern Lines 3D embossing folder. I finished by adding a small sentiment and then gluing the card front to a card base.

Thank You Sweet Friend

My second card features the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Delicate Garden set. I stamped one of the large floral images and then used the coordinating stencils, small blending tools and Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy, Coral Berry, Bamboo, and Parrot Crisp Dye inks to color the image. I cut out the image with the coordinating die and then used foam tape to adhere it to a background with texture created using the Herringbone Tiles 3D embossing folder. I added sentiments made with stamps and a coordinating die that are included in the kit and then I glued the card front to a card base.

Thanks Sweet Friend

My last card features the Build-A-Garden: Dancing Poppies set. I stamped the flower images and then used the coordinating stencils, small blending tools, and Chamomile, Marigold, and Forest Glades Crisp Dye inks to color the images. I due cut all of the images and then used foam tape to glue them to a background panel made with the Modern Lines 3D embossing folder. Then, I added a die cut sentiment made using the Sweet Sentiments die set and a small stamped sentiment from the Craft Your Life Project Kit: Delicate Garden set. To finish, I glued the card front to a card base.

You’re Sweet To The Core | Hero Arts March 2023 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello and welcome! It’s release day at Hero Arts and we’re celebrating the March release with a blog hop full of inspiration and a giveaway. If you’ve arrived from visiting Pocono Pam, you’re right on track!

This month we’re taking a trip to the farmer’s market. The Classic My Monthly Hero Kit includes a 6×8 stamp set loaded with various fruits that are fun to color, fruit-themed puns and some everyday messages as well. Use these stamps alone, or pair them with a fabulous fruit-themed 6×6 cling background stamp. Also included is a packet of the most adorable little clay fruit, great for shaker cards or to use as embellishments. In addition to the previous items, the Premium version of the kit (which I used here) includes additional elements to extend the potential for more cards and techniques – even more Creativity In The Box! There is a fantastic window die, carrying through the theme of fruits and vegetables. Also included are two of the brand new Neon Brights Liquid Watercolors for you to try, and a set of mini watercolor brushes. The kit is rounded out with an ink cube and a generous amount of watercolor paper and cardstock.
