Merry Christmas | Hero Arts November 2024 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello and welcome! We’re blog hopping today to celebrate the Hero Arts November release. If you’re not already a monthly subscriber, be sure to check out all of the Hero Studio subscriptions options!

November’s Card Kit Of The Month has everything you need to create holiday cards and tags featuring sweet critters!

Merry Christmas

My first card today features a sweet fox from the Card Kit of the month. I stamped him in Intense Black ink and then used Copic markers to color him. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut him out.

Next, I created the wrapped box with the argyle stencil and dies from the kit. The box is made from Arctic cardstock; I used a blending brush and Aquatic ink for the stencilling and to create the darker lid. I cut the the ribbon pieces from Coral cardstock and glued them to the box and lid. I used foam tape to adhere the box, fox, and lid to an arched panel of white cardstock made using a die from the Arches Infinity Dies set, and then I added the stamped and die cut sentiment.

For the background, I stamped the Cling Stamp Of The Month in Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink onto an A2 panel of Coral cardstock to create a subtle tone-on-tone pattern. To finish the card, I glued the arched piece to the background and then glued the completed card front to a card base.

Meowy Catmess

My second card features the November Clear Set + Dies of the Month (Naughty Kitties).

I stamped and Copic-colored the kitty and broken ornaments before die-cutting them. Next, I made a background with the Poinsettia Stained Glass Pattern Stencil and Paradise Core Ink. I created a window panel with a die from the Pointed Arches Infinity Die Set and then used foam tape to adhere it to the background. To finish, I used more foam tape to adhere the kitty and ornaments in the window, added a sentiment, and glued the card front to a card base.

  1. The stamps and dies are fabulous! Hope I will have the opportunity to purchase! Was a subscriber (premium upon startup too) for over three years and cancelled 3 or so months ago. Was not a fan of the kit changes.
