Hero Arts My Monthly Hero June 2021

 

Hey crafty friends! I hope you are enjoying your day and the outlook for your weekend is fun! Here in Florida, we are enjoying some nice and sunny days, perfect for jumping in the pool.

I am really trying to be good about using the things I buy at least once. I had the stamp from the Hero Arts June 2021 card kit sitting next to me and I thought it was time to create a fun birthday card featuring the adorable little cat.  

Following A Blog Named Hero Challenge, repeat stamping, I began by creating several masks of the cat and presents from masking paper. Next, I stamped out the cat at the top, then repeated the stamping of the presents for this little kitten to play on!  

Copic Marker Combination

Cat: N7, N5, N3, N1, R22, R21
Blue: B29, B24, B32, B41
Aqua: BG49, BG13, BG11
Purple: BV08, BV13, BV02, BV00, V04 on the second blend
Pink: RV66, RV55, RV52, RV00
Gold: Y08, Y04, Y00, YR04 on the second blend

For the background, I ink blended with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink around the image and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink at the outer edges. Next, I created texture by splattering the panel with diluted white and blue acrylic paint.

Finally, to complete this card, I clear embossed the sentiment and finished the card by die cutting the panel with a stitched rectangle die.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero July 2020 Card Ideas | 5 Cards

Posted on by pixiedonna

Hello everyone, Today I’m excited to share the five cards I made using the Hero Arts July 2020 My Monthly Hero Card Kit. This kit is still available and if you like the Atlantis, underwater theme then this kit is definitely for you.

Hero-Arts-My-Monthly-Hero-July-2020

For my first card, I used the contents of the main kit and created a somewhat monochromatic look to this card. I stamped the layering stamps using Blue Hawaii Reactive ink from the kit, VersaFine Onyx Black ink then clear embossed it, and finally the last layer I stamped with VersaMark Embossing ink and added clear embossing powder to finish.

The background panel was ink blended with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink and faded out towards the top. And finally, I adhered all of the images to the card front and finished this card by adhering the entire panel to an A2 sized top folding white card base.

For the second card, I made a shaker card using an oval die from the Hero Arts Oval Infinity Die set and adhered it to a bright ink blended background panel. I used the reactive inks for this panel and the Fancy Edge die from the main kit.

Hero-Arts-My-Monthly-Hero-July-2020

Since I have been on this slimline card front kick lately, it was only fitting to make at least one slimline card using this kit. I began by die cutting a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with the Trinity Stamps’ Slimline Stitched Card Panels and Window Dies and ink blended the panel followed by ink smooshing several more shades of Distress Oxide inks.

I really wanted a subtle background and muted tones for this card, so I reached for Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink to layer the background stamp. I added black VersaFine ink for the second layer and used the Coral Embossing Powder from the kit for the third layer of the stamp.

To finish this card, I stamped the silhouette of the fish image from the main kit, three times, added glossy accents to the images, and added a few of the clear drops by Studio Katia.

Hero-Arts-My-Monthly-Hero-July-2020

This happens to be my favorite card because of the ink blended panel. I did use Distress Ink for this panel for a more vibrant look. I die cut the panel with the Underwater Pillar Window die and added the jellyfish image from the Need A Hand stamp, which are both add-on items.

And finally, on card number five, I used several of the other images including that adorable octopus from the Need a Hand Stamp set and added the Waves and Clouds background cling stamp over an ink blended panel.

Copic Coloring Combination

Octopus: V09, V06, V04, V01, V000
Seahorse: YR18, Y35, Y11
Seagrass: G28, YG17, YG06, YG03, YG00

I’ve linked the video of these cards, where I share the process tutorial on my YouTube Channel. Let me know which is your favorite from the cards I made.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero March 2020 | Stop and Smell the Blossoms

Posted on by pixiedonna

Hey there, I have a fun scene card to share with you featuring the images from the March Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Card Kit.

Hero-Arts-My-Monthly-Hero-March-2020-Card-Kit

Sadly, the kit is sold out, but Hero Arts carries a variety of color layering images that would work for a card design like this one.

For today’s card, I stamped the tree onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock using Lawn Fawn Walnut Premium Dye ink and Hero Arts’ Cotton Candy Mid-Tone Shadow ink. In the second layer of the tree, I stamped with VersaMark Ink and embossed it
with Wow Pink Sorbet Embossing Glitter.

Hero-Arts-My-Monthly-Hero-March-2020-Card-Kit

To create the background, I ink blended a panel of smooth cardstock with Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide ink and inked the background over the stencil with VersaMark ink then added white embossing powder.

To finish the scene, I created the grassy hill using the die from the kit and inked with the Green Hills and Field Greens Mid-Tone Shadow inks, die-cut a piece of smooth cardstock using the new Cloud Sky Scene Dies and added the sentiment with black ink.

I had so much fun working with the Hero Arts Kit and creating this mini scene! As always, thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Hero Arts November 2019 My Monthly Hero | 8 Cards from 1 Kit

Posted on by pixiedonna

Hi everyone, Today I’m sharing the eight cards I made using the Hero Arts’ November 2019 My Monthly Hero Card Kit. And let me
say that this is an amazing kit. Not only for the value but the stamps and dies in this month’s kit are absolutely stunning.

Hero Arts November 2019 My Monthly Hero Card Kit featuring 8 handmade Christmas cards from 1 kit, colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.

Card 2

I mainly focused on the images from the main kit in creating these cards with one exception from an add-on.
I first stamped all of the images I planned to use on Bristol smooth cardstock with black ink and heat embossed with
clear embossing powder. Since these images are tiny, I grabbed the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to quickly color
these images in, and die cut them out using the coordinating dies.

Card 4

For each card, I tried to incorporate some technique that would highlight each card from incorporating vellum, ink blending,
inlay cards or creating a custom background.

While most cards are simple in nature, they are also quick and easy to re-create or mass produce for the upcoming Holiday Season.

Card 6

The last two cards were probably my most favorite to create. The second to last card incorporates the Decorated Winter
Branches Window Fancy die add-on and simple ink blending for a stunning result. And the last card, probably my
favorite incorporates the Doorway Fancy die as an entire A2 sized card.
