Welcome everyone! The new January 2021 My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts is now available! I have so much to share with you today so buckle up!
Who loves chubby little bees? I do! I do! Sorry (not sorry) guys I went a little overboard because this kit was so much fun to play with. Please remember, once this kit is gone, it’s gone! That’s one of the perks of being a kit subscriber is you will never miss out.
Blog Hop information will be listed at the end of this post. When leaving comments, please be aware it might not show up right away as I need to approve them.

The cards are beautiful. Did you foil the honeycomb?
I did foil a couple of them with the Glimmer foil system. I showed how to do it in my video linked in the post.

So pretty!
Beautiful cards
I love your bee-utiful cards!!
Fabulous card ideas. Thanks for the video, too!
So many pretty cards! I love how you colored the flowers on the first one. 🙂
Hey Mindy –
I love how you get so much out of the items you use. The punched-out hexagons from the one die can be used for the next card, etc. I liked all the cards and I agree that the Smakula technique card is a stunner… it just needs a bee to make the “bee-utiful” sentiment make more sense. Love your work, lady!!! You bring inspiration to us all. Happy New Year to you and your viewers. Let’s make 2021 a superior year!!

What a great assortment of cards and a great way to show the dies can be used wuuth the glimmer system! So.pretty!
All of your cards are really pretty! Thanks for showing so many ways to use this super cute release! I LOVE they way you hex cut the stamped background and the gradient blue/yellow. I also love the card where you’ve used the same background in soft yellow ~ love, love love!!! I had trouble with the YouTube, but I’m guessing embossed with the clear sparkle and then rubbed with the pumpkin? I’m amazed that the embossing holds so much of the color!! I will check out the video when it’s working again!! Thanks!!!
Such wonderful inspiration here with these beautiful products! Loving each one of these!!
OK!!! I am laughing now! I don’t know HOW I got it all so wrong! I love how much more simple your method is than the one I made up in my mind!! Ha! Ha! I love your video and want to wish you a Happy New Year!!
