A Blog Named Hero

Trio of Tags

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.  It’s really hard to fathom what is going on in the world right now.  I hope that sharing some craftiness can bring a little sunshine into your day.

I’m sticking with this month’s challenge theme of Anything but a card in today’s post.  I made three different Christmas tags using various inks and stamp sets from Hero Arts.

For my first tag, I ink blended a white tag and a stencil with two ink cubes from Hero Arts – Lime Green and Forest.  I then stamped the holly image and Merry Christmas sentiment from the Mini Christmas stamp set, colored the small images with Copic markers, and added a couple of jewels to complete the tag.

My second tag uses the Hero Arts Blue Reactive ink and the Stacking Snowflakes stamp set.  I stamped one part of the snowflake in the blue ink and heat embossed the second layer with silver embossing powder.  The sentiment is from the November 2017 My Monthly Hero kit.

The third tag features more ink blending with blue inks and then I overlayed a snowflake stencil and used the Unicorn White Hero Art ink.  The stamps for this tag are from the Winter Silhouettes stamp set.

Unbearably Thankful

Hi Everyone!  It’s Caren here today sharing a Thank you card using the cute Unbearably Thankful stamp set and frame cuts.

ABNH_02272020

I used a hexagon masking stencil and ink blended on white card stock and adhered this panel to a black card base.  I stamped, colored, and die cut the images from the Unbearably Thankful stamp set and adhered the images to my card using dimensional foam adhesive.  I then stamped by sentiment from the same stamp set.

Thanks for visiting.  There is still time to join this month’s challenge – Birthday.  Today’s card could easily be used as a birthday card by just changing the sentiment.  So what are you waiting for – join the challenge today!

Happy Monday everyone, it’s Caren here today with a sweet valentine card that uses three different background stamps from Hero Arts.

I started my card by heat embossing with white embossing powder on white card stock with my three background stamps – Sugar & Spice Bold Prints, Bursting with Love Bold Prints, and Patterned Lanterns Bold Prints.

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.

ABNH_CB_1227

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.

ABNH_CB_1127_1

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.
