Just Because Cards, Thank You Cards

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

SkyPaperScissors

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.

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.

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.
