Hello and welcome! The Hero Arts 2023 summer catalog is here and we’re celebrating the amazing new release with a blog hop full of ideas and a giveaway. If you’ve arrived from visiting Pocono Pam, you’re right on track.
I have a couple of cards to share today, so let’s dive in!
Have A Beautiful Day
My first card features four small scripty panels stamped in different colors and then adhered with foam tape to a card base. The sentiment and the little leaves help tie the four panels together for an easy-to-make card!
Supplies:
- Dove White cardstock
- Mixed Textures stamp set
- Periwinkle, Ultra Pink, Bermuda, and Orchid Core Inks for the four scripty panels
- Beautiful Day stamp and die bundle for the leaves and sentiment
- Green Hills Core ink to stamp the leaves
- Green marker (I used Copic YG07) to color in the leaves
- Onyx pigment ink for the sentiment
- Dove White top-folded card base
Sending Love
My second card features new square frame dies and new flora infinity dies. A little bit of ink blending adds some additional dimension to this already dimensional card.
Supplies:
- Square Set Fancy Dies set
- Build-A-Flower Infinity Die set
- Ultra Pink, Coral, Arctic, Dove White cardstocks
- Aquatic Core ink and a blending brush to add a big of shading to the larger square
- Onyx pigment ink for the sentiment
- Dove White top-folded card base
Let’s Get Together
My last card features an alphabet stamp set used as a background stamp and new two-tone metallic spray. The metallic spray comes as powder in a spray bottle for you to add water yourself. I used the powder for the background; it’s very much like other dry pigment powders that create vibrant color when you add water. I sprinkled a tiny bit of powder onto a watercolor paper panel and then spritzed it with clean clear water. When the panel was dry, I heat embossed the alphabet onto the panel and added the sentiments.
Supplies:
- Watercolor paper
- Fuchsia + Gold Two-Tone Metallic Spray
- Luggage Lowercase Alphabet stamp set
- White embossing powder
- Together Stamp & Cut set for the sentiments
- Onyx pigment ink to stamp the small sentiment
- Pitch Black cardstock for the large sentiment
- Dove White top-folded card base
Thank you so much for visiting! Your next stop is the lovely BreAnn Loveland.
