A Blog Named Hero

The world to me

Happy new year, everyone. I am here today sharing a card using the January My Monthly Hero kit.

I was dying to try the biodegradable glitter from the kit so I started by stamping the earth and sentiment using black ink and colored the earth quickly using copic markers.

I then covered all the green parts in liquid glue before I attatched the green glitter to it. I also used my wink of stella glitter brush to cover the rest of the earth. The result is a very glittery image, but the green parts even more glittery and a little dimensional as well.

After coloring the image I cut the card panel to size and wrapped the brown string from the kit around it a couple of times and tying a cute bow. I then glued three wood veneer stars around the image.

I finished the card by popping the panel up on foam tape before I glued it on to a grass green card base.

So that was our last glimmery, glittery card before the new challenge will be here the 15th. I hope you will come back then.

I hope you will have wonderful day.

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.

 

Swinging by to say hello

Have you been inspired by other crafters the past month. I certainly have and today i am sharing a card inspired by the talented Nancy otherwise known as Nananas in her blog and on her Instagram.

I have noticed that she often uses windows on her card to put her images in. She also uses background stamps and stencils to ground her design on and I have also noticed that she stamps her background stamps or stencils on the top half of her cards. My interpretation of these elements resulted in the card below.

To create this card I stamped the cute hanging kitty from the “Knitting” stamp set. I colored the cat using copic markers and highlighted it using a white gel pen.

I stamped the “Knitting pattern bold prints” background stamp using several yellow, orange and red ink colors to create a gradient pattern. I cut the panel to size and cut a round hole in the panel using a stitched circle die. I backed the whole using acetate to create a “real window” and attatched the kitty using red string from the top part of the inside of the window. I popped the panel up on foam to create wiggle space for the cat and backed the panel using a left over piece of of patterned paper that matched the string.

 

I stamped the sentiment from the May 2018 MMH kit using black ink and cut it to size and glued it on to the panel. I also made a red bow using the same string as the cat hangs by and attatched it to the sentiment strip.

To finish the card I glued the panel to a white card base.

I hope you have a lovely day.

Winter wishes with a barbie dress

My daughter had this beautiful Elsa dress for her barbie doll….now it’s a snowy sky on a card. Just for the record; She knows all about it and the dress was used to pieces before I cut in it. lol

I am sharing a christmas card for A Blog Named Hero today completing the month og christmas cards on our blog. Take a look and see all thos wonderful cards the design team and our lovely partisipants have made.

But on to my card. I cut the dress to get those snow crystal pieces of fabric and glued it on a piece of white cardstock. I then freehand cut a couple of snowy mounds and popped them up on layers of foam tape to get three hights in my window. I then cut a frame using a stitched frame die and loosely attatched it to my scene.

I stamped and colored the the cute raccoon, the christmas tree and the star from the October 2018 My Monthly Hero kit and colored the images using my copic markers and glued them in and on my frame making the raccoon hold the star wondering how the heck he is supposed to untangle himself and also how to get the lights and star on the big tree. I think he needs some help.

I stamped my sentiment, also from the same kit, on my “ground” using a stamp positioning tool to get it just right.

I used a rectangle die to cut a piece of patterned paper to size and glued it on a white card base before I glued my scene to the middle of the patterned paper.

A fun and very cute way to used broken barbie dresses. Just be sure to ask your kids before stealing them… lol

I wish you all a lovely day. Make it a good one.

An elephant remembers everything

Hello everyone. I hope you are all having awonderful day wherever you are. I am here today to share with you a conclusion of the month of sympathy before we will be back shortly to present a new and fun theme for you.

My last card for you this month is a card that can be used for sympathy as well as friendship and love. I love this elephant from the June My Monthly Hero kit. He is so adorable. I decided to use him with the sentiment from the May 2018 My Monthly Hero kit, because, as you know, an elephant never forgets the beautiful moments.

I also wanted to use the thorn tree die, but since I am on my summer vacation I didn’t have my die cutting tool with me. So…I needed to be creative. I used my die as a stamp in my stamp platform, raising the platform up using fun foam. My image was barely visible so I traced the image using a black pen and voila…the thorn tree could be used.

I colored the thorn tree and my elephant using copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.

I cut my card panel to size using a stitched rectangle die and then ink blended my background using the following ink colors on white cardstock:
Grass: Green hills and Nest
Sky: Just rust, Orange Soda and Ultra pink
For the blending I used blending brushes to create an almost canvas-like texture.

I attatched my images using foam tape and stamped my sentiment using black ink before adding even more foam tape behind the panel to raise it up from my white card base.

I finished the card by scattering a few sequins on the card coordinating them to the color beneith.

Be sure to come back the 15th to see our new challenge.

Make yourself a lovely day.
