Just Because Cards, Love Cards

Love You | Hero Arts January 2024 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

SkyPaperScissors

Hello and welcome! It’s release day at Hero Arts and we’re celebrating the January release with a blog hop and a giveaway. If you’ve arrived from visiting Ilina Crouse, you’re right on track!

Looking for a way to express love, friendship, and joy to your loved ones? Look no further than the January 2024 My Monthly Hero Kit! Let your imagination run wild with the generous Color Layering Stencil set for countless possibilities. This flower-filled kit includes 5 Color Layering Stencils, Fancy Dies, a clear stamp message set, special watercolor paper, and inks: everything you need to create beautiful cards. 

The Premium Kit includes additional elements to extend the potential for more cards and techniques – even more Creativity In The Box! In addition to all the Classic Kit components, the highlight of the expanded kit is an abundance of Fancy Dies. Hero Arts has also included Gold Leaf Flakes, a Sparkle Clear Lacquer Pen, and rounding out this generous kit is a beautiful Pink Gold Metallic Spray! 

For my card today, I used elements from the Classic Kit. First, I used the stencils and blending brushes to create a floral panel. Though the kit comes with three gorgeous colors of ink, I used different colors from the Hero Arts line: Lemon Yellow, Creamsicle, Azalea, Grape Juice, and Mist. Then, I used the coordinating heart die to cut out a floral heart from the panel. 

Next, for the background, I positioned the new Heart Burst stencil over a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock and used the blending brush that I used with Grape Juice to brush lightly over the stencil. I did not re-ink the brush, there was plenty left on it from having blended the floral pattern. Then, I die cut the “love you” sentiment three times from white cardstock and stacked and glued the layers together to create a thicker sentiment.

To assemble the card, I used foam tape to adhere the heart to the background and then I glued the sentiment over top. Finally, I glued the card front to a top-folding card base.

And here’s another look at the card I shared over the weekend. This one uses elements from the Premium Kit.

Thank you so much for visiting! Your next stop is Natasha Vacca. Be sure to read below for giveaway details!

  5. The colors you used here are gorgeous. Just the right amount of vibrancy, yet offset with just the right amount of softness in the background “bursts”. Stunning.

  10. Beautiful cards! I love the way that you paired the floral heart with the Heart burst stencil! The bright flower diecuts on the second card are so pretty on the arch background, too!
