Hello friends! What an exciting day it is today! The Spring 2024 Catalog release is now available from Hero Arts and we are celebrating with a blog hop filled with inspiration! I have a few projects that I want to share with you.
VIDEO
I have a video featuring my first card where I’m stepping up my die cuts! You can watch the video down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.
This first picture is the original card I made for the catalog.
These next pictures are the recreated card I did from the video. Everything is pretty much the same except I added a few dew drops for embellishments.
Coloring your die cuts with markers is such a great way to step up your die cuts and add a whimsical touch.
I added the sentiment by foiling my Best Wishes Letterpress Plate using Matte Gold Glimmer Foil and my Glimmer Hot Foil Machine.
The smaller sentiment is from the I Appreciate You stamp set.
Here is a supply list of the main products I used for this card:
- Floral Wreath Fancy DIe
- Best Wishes Letterpress Betterpress Plate
- I Appreciate You Stamp Set
- Arctic Cardstock
- Deluxe White Smooth Cardstock
- Pitch Black Ink
- Matte Gold Glimmer Foil
- Glimmer Hot Foil Machine
- Platinum Six Die Cut Machine
This next card is another one I created for the catalog. I absolutely love Heroscapes and always so excited when a new one is released.
This one is called Breath Of Sunshine.
Here are the main supplies used to create the Heroscape Card.
- Breath Of Sunshine Heroscape
- Rounded Jewel Infinity Die
- Azalea Ink
- Espresso Ink
- Green Apple Ink
- Green Hills Ink
- Fresh Lawn Ink
- Pine Ink
- Mist Ink
- Summer Sky Ink
- Pitch Black Ink
Some more exciting news to share is the new release from Ralph Tydall and Hero Arts! He has some super fun products now available!
I couldn’t resist using his layering stencil to create this scene.
Supplies used for this card:
- Center Stage Stencil
- Center Stage Stamp Set
- Cranberry Ink
- Cherry Ink
- Caramel Ink
- Espresso Ink
- Pitch Black Ink
But wait! There’s more!!! I am super excited to see this stamp and stencil set make it into the regular Hero Arts product line. This kit was voted in and here is the inspiration I had shared with it last year. The stencil is called Color Layering Seashells and the stamp set is called Color Layering Sunset Over Waves.
You can tell I obviously had a lot of fun with this when it was originally released.
Check out my original blog post HERE for details about the Seashells and colors I used.
