Meowy Christmas

November 18, 2019

Hi everyone! The Christmas countdown is on and I wanted to kickstart the holidays with an adorable advent calendar style card featuring Meowy Christmas and the Peek-A-Boo Doors Fancy Die.

Don’t miss our brand new November Challenge, check out all the details here.

I started by stamping the main images and created the scene by masking and colouring with Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers.

Next, I ran the front panel through my die cutting machine and using my Misti lined up the hidden messages from the Hero Greetings Christmas Messages stamp set.

To finish off the card I added coordinating sequins and a touch of shine using a Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hello everyone. Today I am sharing my last card for the month of nature. I went all huge making a mountain and ocean-card for the last card I shared, so I am going all tiny for my last one.

For this card I used the cute mushroom and ladybug stamps from the December 2018 My Monthly Hero kit to create my scene.

I started by inking my sky using a light blue color. I then inked my grass using a couple of green shades. I splattered some water drops on the grass to make it react and cut it a bit wavy to make it come to life. I glued the sky and grass together and cut them to a long narrow strip. I also cut a thin strip of black cardstock to ground the scene a bit.

I stamped my images and colored them using copic markers and created some highlights using a white gel pen. I then glued my images on to my scene.

I glued the whole thing to a white panel cut to size using a stitched rectangle die and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set as the images.

Finally I glued my card panel to a green card base and finished the card by making a few droplets with glitter glue.

Be on the lookout for our new challenge the 15th. It is a lovely one.

Watercolour Jungle

55810935_10156068475811156_4844296198728712192_n Hi all! Its Gwendolyn here to share a card with you which was inspired by our challenge theme “Nature”. The challenge ends tomorrow 10th November, so you still have 2 whole days to enter the challenge! Watercolor jungle cu I just received the Jungle Frame Fancy die I ordered from Hero Arts (it took 4 days from my order to my doorstep…and I live in Germany!) and I played with it straight away! I randomly watercoloured a sheet of watercolour paper and when it was dry, I diecut 2 frames from it using the Jungle Frame die.

I wanted to superimpose the two diecut frames to give some depth to my jungle so I cut one frame at the corners (pic 1) and adhered the 4 sides first onto my card base, a little more to the centre of the card (pic 2). I then added double-sided foam under my other frame and rotated it before I adhered it on top of the first frame so that it wouldn’t line up with the first frame. (pic 3) Watercolor jungle side To finish, I stamped the sentiment with Hero Arts INTENS-ified black ink, and splattered different gree inks onto the centre of my card.

Well I hope I have inspired you to make a card for our challenge and I look forward to seeing your wonderful creations in the link-up.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hero Arts Build a (Wreath) Christmas Card

November 6, 2019

Hi Friends! I’m back today with another card for our Nature challenge. I’ve used the Hero Arts Build a Tree stamp set, but to make a wreath!

I used 3 different branches from the wreath builder part of the stamp set, in 3 shades of gray/silver to form my main wreath. I then triple stamps, for maximum opacity, the red holly berries & my sentiment over top.

To keep with the monochromatic theme I had going, I mounted the card panel onto some black mirror card, and the onto silver glitter paper.

My finished card is 4.5″x4.5″

Thanks for stopping by today!
