Hero Studio products are also available for purchase without a subscription at full price, while supplies last. Once they sell out, they are gone for good!

This month’s collection features bold urban images and textures. For this card I used the layering sky stamps in the June Hero Studio Cardmaking Kit to stamp the sky in a blend of Dusty Blue and Cornflower Core Inks, with just a bit of Summer Sky at the top, onto a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock. For the white cloud layer, I just barely touched a Charcoal ink pad to the stamp before very lightly stamping down.

Next, I positioned the stencil from the kit over the bottom portion of the panel, making sure to overlap the bottom edge of the sky scene. Using an extra large blending brush, I blended a heavy layer of Charcoal ink over the stencil. Then I used a die from the Nesting Rectangles Infinity Die Set to cut the panel down to a smaller size.

For the sentiment, I used Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink and white embossing powder to heat emboss the sentiment, which is also from the kit, and then to finish the card I used foam tape to adhere the card front to a card base.

Stay Coo!

My next card features the June Clear Set + Dies of the Month as well as the Decorative Tile Pattern Stencil. I stamped the images in Intense Black ink and then colored them with Copic markers. For the background, I stamped the floor tile pattern and then positioned the stencil above the floor. I blended Mist ink over the stencil to create a tiled wall.

To assemble the card, I trimmed the panel down and then used foam tape to adhere the stamped images and sentiment. Then used more foam tape to adhere the card front to a panel of Arctic cardstock and which I then glued to a card base.

You Make My World Brighter | Hero Arts February 2024 My Monthly Hero Countdown + Giveaway

Hello and welcome to day two of the three-day countdown to Monday’s Hero Arts release! The fun new kit (and this link) goes live at 10am PT on February 5th.

For my card today I used Creamsicle and Lemon Drop Reactive inks to create a background using the stencil from the Premium kit. Then I use the small stamp set in the Premium kit to stamp this sentiment which I die cut using a die from the Circles Infinity die set. I die cut a slightly larger circle of vellum which I glued to the back of the sentiment.

To assemble the card, I used foam tape to adhere the sentiment piece to the background and then I glued the card front to a Dove White top-folded card base.

Be sure visit the Hero Arts Blog for giveaway information and to see more inspiration! And, I hope you’ll come back Monday for a blog hop celebrating the new release.
