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.

Thank You | Hero Arts April 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello and welcome! We’re blog hopping today to celebrate the April Hero Studio collection. These sets are available by subscription so if you’re not already a monthly subscriber, be sure to check out all of the Hero Studio subscriptions options!

Thank You

My first card features the April Card Kit of the Month. This kit is packed with lush selection of stamps, coordinating dies, standalone dies, cardstock, and embellishments!

For this card I stamped the large terrarium image in Copic-friendly Intens-ified Black Ink onto a 4.25″ x 5″ panel of Arctic cardstock. I colored the image in with a selection of Copic markers and then set the panel aside.

Next, I used the arched die to cut a window from a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Dove White cardstock and I used the terrarium base die to cut the wooden base from the Fawn cardstock included in the kit. I also stamped and die cut the sentiment.

To assemble the card, I glued the window panel over the Arctic panel and then used foam tape to adhere the base of the terrarium. To finish, I adhered the sentiment and then glued the card front to a card base.

Hello

My second card features new leafy dies from the April Die Set of the Month.

For this card I used one of the dies to cut three vibrant leaves from an alcohol-inked panel in my stash. Next, I used the sentiment dies to cut the detailed sentiment from Coral cardstock and the shadow layer from Dove White cardstock and then I glued the pieces together.

To assemble the card, I used foam tape to adhere the leaves and sentiment to an arched piece of Dove White cardstock made with the arched die in the Card Kit of the Month. Then I used more foam tape to adhere the arched piece to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Paradise cardstock. To finish, I glued the card front to a card base.

Thank You | Hero Arts February 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

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

This month’s card kit is amazing and it’s packed with options for making a scene that looks like you’re lying down in a field of tulips looking up at the sky. You can also use the elements separately for a ton of versatility!

Thank You

For this card, I stamped the layered leaves and tulips twice to create a ring of tulips around the card. After die cutting the tulips, I used foam tape to adhere them to a card base and then added the stamped and die cut sentiment and butterflies.

Supplies:

Have A Lovely Day

My second card features the February Clear Set + Dies of the Month: Lovely Flowers set. For this easy card, I stamped the sweet floral images in Copic-friendly ink onto white cardstock and then used Copic markers to color them in. I used rectangle dies in three sizes to cut out the images and then adhered them to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Kiwi cardstock. To finish, I added a stamped sentiment from the set and then glued the card front to a card base.
