A Blog Named Hero

Sparkly Wishes

Hello everyone, hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!

I’m back today with another sparkly card, this time it is a birthday card.

I started the card by using a mask square stencil with distress inks.  I then sprayed the panel with the mask still on it with Hero Arts White Iridescent Shimmer Mist.  I then stamped an image and sentiment from the December 2018 My Monthy Hero kit.  I matted this panel on a piece of black glitter card stock.

I layered this onto a white card base and added a few Moonshine confetti pieces also from the same kit.  To finish off the card, I added some loose glitter to the angel wings and wand.

Thankful

Hello crafters!  Is everyone ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow?  I am!  Today I’m sharing a thankful card I made with the You are Loved stamp set from Hero Arts.  I’m thankful for all the wonderful people I’ve met (online and in person!) thru this awesome hobby.

I stamped the earth image from the You are Loved set and colored it with Copic markers.  I die cut it using Nesting Circle Infinity dies from Hero arts.  I cut a rectangle from white card stock and stamped a sentiment from the same set.

I adhered a piece of black checkered pattern paper to my card base, added my white panel with foam adhesive, and attached the globe with foam adhesive.  To finish the card, I added a red heart droplet.

Snowflake Happy Holidays

Hi crafters, it’s Caren here today.  I’m sharing a fun sparkly holiday card for you today.  Since it has snowflakes, I think it meets this month’s challenge – Nature!

I die cut the Snowflake Pattern Cover plate from blue card stock.  I adhered it to a piece of silver glitter paper (it’s so sparkly!)  I glued this to my white card base.  I die cut the sentiment from the Happy Holidays Script Stamp and Cut set three times from white card stock.  I glued them together to give the sentiment more dimension on the card.

I added a few white jewels on the snowflakes to finish the card.  I love, love, love this snowflake die.  It is so pretty and intricate and it’s easy to create quick and easy gorgeous cards.

Happy Halloween

Hi crafters!  It’s Caren here, hope everyone had a great week.  I’m ready for the cooler weather, it is still pretty warm here in Oklahoma.

For today, I have a one layer Halloween card to share.  I love making Halloween cards, I think its the bright purple, green, and orange colors.  I used the Pure Magic stamp set and Happy Halloween die from the September My Monthly Hero kit to create my card.

I started by drawing a line on my card base to ensure my bottles were lined up.  I then stamped the bottles using a couple of masks where the bottles would over lap.  I added masks to the rest of the bottles and some post it notes to mask off the area below the bottles.

Next, I ink blended the top part of the card with a few shades of purple distress ink.  I removed the masks and colored the bottles with Copic markers.  I stamped the stars from the same set in black ink onto the card.  I added glossy accents on the bottles to look like glass.

I ink blended with orange and purple distress ink on a piece of white card stock and then die cut Happy Halloween from it.  I die cut the Happy Halloween two more times from white card stock and adhered the three die cuts together.  This is a great way to give a little dimension to the card.  I adhered this to my card and added a few green jewels to finish the card.

So Proud of You

Hi crafters!  It’s Caren here, hope everyone’s week is going great.  I love that Hero Arts embraces other companies in the stamping industry.  For today’s card, I used the collaboration stamp set – You Make a Difference – from Hero Arts and Pinkfresh Studios.  I knew I had to have this stamp set when I saw it.

I used the large flower stamp from the set and heat embossed the image and the sentiment on watercolor paper using rose gold embossing powder.  I water colored the flower image using distress inks and a water brush.

I die cut the image and the sentiment using some scalloped rectangles from my stash.  I adhered the image panel to a pink card base.  I also layered the sentiment image on a piece of pink card stock.  I then adhered the sentiment panel using foam adhesive.  I added three pink jewels to finish the card.
