Hi Everyone, Bhavana here with a new post at A Blog Named Hero. This month’s we have Wplus9 as our collaborating partner and I am using products from Hero arts along with Wplus9. I used Hero arts Stamp your own cactus and Wplus9 Ink splats stamp set.

Here is my cactus shaker card using both these stamps.

I first randomly stamped the ink splats on the white card cardstock with Hero arts bubble gum and fresh peach inks also used Wplus9 falling star ink. Later die cut the cactus with the coordinating die Hero arts cactus and flower. At the back stuck the transparent sheet, added foam tape and filled with green colored sequences. and mounted the front panel on the kraft cardstock. Colored the pot with copic markers and added clear wink of stella glitter over it. Stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set.

Sparkly Texture Paste

May 25, 2015

Hello, Jessica here! We are wrapping up our collaboration month with WPlus9 but I had one more card that I wanted to share! This was an interesting card to create…I had an idea in my head but it took a lot of experimenting to actualize that idea. Here’s what I came up with!

I really love the way it turned out. That stencil just might be my most favorite ever!

I started out by placing the stencil at an angle on a piece of WPlus9 Sweet Gelato cardstock and then I applied translucent embossing paste over the stencil. I sprinkled it with glitter and set it aside to dry.

While the embossing paste was drying I prepared the rest of the card. I die-cut the Hero Arts bird with gold glitter paper and the sentiment from the WPlus9 Hand-Lettered Hello die with silver glitter paper. I also die-cut the WPlus9 Spring Wreaths from WPlus9 Sweet Gelato cardstock, silver and gold glitter paper.

To assemble the card I used mini glue dots to adhere the wreath and bird to the embossing paste panel. I used multi-medium matte to attach the flowers and sentiment to the card and then attached the panel to a top-folding A2 card base of Neenah Solar White cardstock. This is an incredibly pink card and it REALLY shimmers when it catches the light. I love how the shapes in the stencil design are echoed in the wreath and how the two companies just work together so beautifully!!

Cool Cat!

May 23, 2015

Meow everyone!

This is Gayatri here today bring to you a CAS card with a new stamp sets from Hero Arts and Wplus9. I recently bought Stamp Your Own Succulent stamp set from Hero Arts.Seeing lots of succulent trend everywhere, I very much wanted to colour these images from the stamp set. Our collaborative partner this month is Wplus9 and this cute kitty from Smart Kitty stamp set will be perfect to go with the Succulent stamp set.

Here is my card using both the stamp sets.

I simply stamped all the succulents and copic coloured them. I the hand cut them all out. I did the same with kitty as well. Although I had the die to cut the kitty, I did not want the white border around the kitty, so I hand cut it out.

I clustered the succulents with the kitty in the middle. I glued the kitty and succulents at various dimensions some flush and some raised to add interest and depth. Then I added a white panel and adhered using foam adhesives. Sentiment is from Smart Kitty stamp set. Here are some closeups!

I LOVE the colours of the succulents against the white space. I have added some iridescent sequins to compete the card.

Come and play along our new challenge – NEW!

Black and white flowers with WPlus9

May 21, 2015

Hi, as we are having the pleasure of collaborating this month with WPlus 9, I wanted to create some stamped flowers using the stamp set Pretty Little Peonies. It was my first time creating stamped flowers. It is really open to so many possibilities!

This time I wanted to play with black, white and grey. And a bit of ribbon. Ok, and a bit of pattern paper. 🙂

I made a video to show you the process.

I hope you like the card and I thank you all the comments in my solo posts (you make my days!).

See you soon!
