        • Fall is my Favorite Coordinating Dies
        • Treehouse Die Set

Fall Is My Favorite Color

For my card, I stamped, colored, and die cut three pumpkins and then framed them using a stenciled panel out of which I die cut an arched window. I used foam tape to create some dimension between the stenciled panel and a card base and then used foam tape to adhere the pumpkins.

Supplies:

Thankful For You

My second card features the sweet Cozy Kitty bonus die set when you purchase The Whole Studio which includes ALL 5 of the monthly subscriptions in one discounted buy. I die cut the pieces of the kitty and his little friend from color cardstock and then glued the pieces together. Then I used foam tape to adhere the critters to the arched fallout piece from the first card I made and framed it with another arched panel. To finish, I glued the arched piece to a white card base and stamped a sentiment from the Card Kit of the Month.

Supplies:

Have A Wild Birthday | Hero Arts August 2024 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

SkyPaperScissors

Hello and welcome! It’s release day at Hero Arts and we’re celebrating the August collection. If you aren’t yet familiar with the reimagined Hero Arts monthly subscription program that launched in June, be sure to check out the six new Hero Studio subscriptions options!

This month’s collection has everything you need to create lush tropical jungle scenes!

Have A Wild Birthday

My first card features the stamps and coordinating dies from the August Card Kit of the Month.

For this card, I created two identical leafy borders, one for the top and one for the bottom of the scene, by stamping the three foliage layering stamps in Fresh Lawn, Aquatic, and Ultra Pink Core inks. I die cut the borders and set them aside.

Next, I stamped the water image in Aquatic onto a panel of white cardstock. I cut the panel down to about 3.5″ x 5″ and then stamped the elephant silhouettes in Onyx pigment ink. I used foam tape to adhere the leafy borders to the panel and then trimmed the edges of the borders that were hanging off the sides of the panel.

To finish, I used more foam tape to adhere the stamped and die cut sentiment, glued the panel to the center of a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Kiwi cardstock which I then glued to a top-folding card base.

Sending Special Birthday Wishes

My second card features other wonderful sets from the new release. I used Copic markers to color the birds of paradise and leaves, and then I adhered them to a background created with a new cling stamp. To finish, I added a stamped and die cut sentiment.
