Happy Holidays

Hi everyone, Caren here today.  My card today features all dies with not stamping today!

I die cut the Christmas Lights Border Fancy die and the Happy Holidays Script die from sparkly silver paper.  I adhered these to a aqua card base with liquid adhesive and added a white jewel to dot the I in holidays.

This clean and simple design would be easy to mass produce in different colors.

Merry Christmas

Hi everyone, Caren here today.  In honor of the 2020 Winter card catalog release yesterday from Hero Arts, I created a card with one of my favorite background stamps Christmas Lights Bold Print.

 

 

I stamped the Christmas Lights onto a black piece of card stock with Versamark Ink and used gold embossing powder to heat emboss the image.  I die cut out the portion that I wanted with a stitched scalloped rectangle die.

I used an older Hero Arts set – Christmas Sentiments – for my Merry Christmas sentiment.  I again heat embossed on black card stock with gold embossing powder.  Also, inked the edges of my sentiment rectangle with Versamark ink and added gold embossing powder.

I added shimmer to all the light bulbs with a shimmer pen – this doesn’t show up in the pics 🙁  I popped my sentiment up on the card using dimensional adhesive to finish the card.

Happy Holidays

Happy Monday everyone.  Has anyone started their Christmas cards yet?  I decided to create a Christmas in July card for today’s post.

 

I used the November 2019 My Monthly Hero kit stamps and dies to create my card.  I stamped, die cut, and colored my images with Copic markers.

I heat embossed the sentiment with red ink and clear embossing powder.  I also used a Versafine marker on the star and ornaments on the tree with some sparkly embossing powder.

There’s Always a Rainbow

Happy Saturday everyone!  It’s Caren, today I’m sharing  a card that fits this month’s challenge of combining old and new.

The stamped the rainbow/cloud image and sentiment from the May My Monthly Hero kit onto a white card panel using black ink.  I colored the rainbow and clouds with Copic markers. The plane and balloon dies are also from the May kit.

For my yellow panel, I used an old Hero Arts background stamp called snow dots.  I adhered this panel to my white card base and added dimensional foam adhesive to the white panel and placed it on the card.  To finish off the card, I added a few lime green jewels from my stash.

It’s Been Too Long

Hi everyone, it’s Caren here today bringing you a clean and simple card.

ABNH_05272020

Anyone else feel like it’s been too long since you saw your friends, ate out at restaurant, or went to a store?  It’s been weeks for me!

Anyway, I used one of my all time favorite stamps sets to create this card – Safari Wild About You.  I used three different shades of yellow/orange distress inks to create my background.  I then stamped the animals, tree, and sentiment in black ink.  I layered this onto a black panel with dimensional foam adhesive and added the panel directly to my white card base.

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget about this months challenge – Hugs from a Distance.
