Happy Happy Happy Birthday To You | Hero Arts March 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

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

My first card features the Card Kit of the Month. This kit has bows galore and a gorgeous cover plate that creates a streamer effect that is perfect to frame a celebratory sentiment. I blended Amethyst, Ultra Pink, Pale Tomato, Dandelion, Green Apple, and Cornflower Core Inks across a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Dove White cardstock. Then I used the cover die the cut another 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of of white cardstock as well as a panel of Paradise cardstock, making sure to keep the large center fall-out piece from the Paradise panel. I glued the white cover piece over the ink-blended background and then glued the Paradise fall-out piece into the center opening.

I heat embossed and die the happy sentiment three times using white embossing powder and Paradise cardstock. I also heat embossed the smaller sentiment onto the card front. Using foam tape, I adhered the three die-cut sentiments to the card front and then I glued the card front to a card base.

It’s Your Day

My second card features the super fun Layer Stencils of the Month: It’s Your Day set. Just a few easy-to-line-up stencil layers and your choice of colors creates a fun full-A2-sized card front! For this quick card, I blended a rainbow of colors over the stencils and onto a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock: Amethyst, Ultra Pink, Pale Tomato, Papaya, Dandelion, Green Apple, Cornflower, and Summer Sky. Then I used die from the Rounded Rectangles Infinity dies to trim the panel. To assemble the card, I used foam tape to adhere the stenciled panel to an Ultra Pink card base.

Thank you so much for visiting! Your next step in the hop is Nichol Spohr!

My card today features the new Here Comes The Sun hot foil plate. I hot foiled this beautiful image in gold foil onto a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of light blue cardstock. Then I used a large blending tool to blend Aqualicious Crisp Dye ink around the edges of the panel. I also inked up a separate little piece of light blue cardstock and then hot foiled and die cut the sentiment. This sentiment is from the Sweet Sentiments bundle.
