copic – SkyPaperScissors

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.

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

August 5, 2024August 7, 2024 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.

Supplies from Hero Arts:

August Cling of the Month (Orchids background) stamped in Periwinkle Core Ink
Birds Of Paradise Dies
August Clear Set and Dies of the month (sentiment) stamped in Onyx pigment ink
