Happy Birthday XOXO | Hero Arts January 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

SkyPaperScissors

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

January’s Hero Studio collection “For the Love of Stamping” features a charming vintage typewriter, timeless hearts, and elegant florals. This collection is perfect for crafting heartfelt cards, love notes, and valentines for the ones you cherish most.

My first card features the January Card Kit of the Month. This kit is absolutely packed with stamps and dies! For the easy layered typewriter, I stamped in Paradise and Aquatic Core Inks, and Onyx Pigment ink. Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also stamped and die cut the sheet of paper with the sentiment using other elements included in the kit.

For the background, I used the included large cover die from the kit to cut a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of Ultra Pink cardstock (a half sheet is included in the kit). I love the beautiful texture this creates!

To finish, I glued the typewriter and sheet of paper together and then used foam tape to adhere it to the Ultra Pink panel. Then I glued the card front to a card base.

My next card features the Lots Of Love stencil. I blended Amethyst and Ultra Pink inks over the stencil, concentrating the pink in the center of a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock. Then I used a two heart dies from the Card Kit of the Month to cut a small heart from the center of the stenciled panel, and a slightly larger heart from a piece of Passion Flower cardstock.

I glued the stenciled panel to a card base and then used foam tape to adhere the Passion Flower and stenciled hearts over the negative space left when I die cut the small heart out of the panel.

To finish, I die cut the sentiment from Iris cardstock using a die from the Love & Hearts die set and popped up at the center of the card front.

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

SkyPaperScissors

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.
