Hello crafty friends! Today I’m joining my friends over at Hero Arts for a blog hop celebrating their October Hero Studio + additional clubs.
VIDEO
You can watch the video tutorial down below or HERE on my Youtube channel.
First, let’s take a quick look at the Whole Hero Studio. This includes all of the kits being released this month:
- Card Kit of the Month
- Layering Stencil of the Month
- Clear Stamp & Frame Cuts of the Month
- Fancy Die of the Month
- Cling of the Month

Huge savings when you sign up for all of it! Or you can pick and choose which club you are most interested in. The items can also be purchased a la carte but only while supplies last. You get a way better deal when you sign up for the club.
Hero Arts Christmas Card Kits are always super popular and usually sell out quick. Here is a look at this year’s holiday kit.

I didn’t get a chance to use everything from the kit but I did pull out the cling background stamp for one of my cards. The contents are all really awesome so be sure to take a good look at them!

Now onto my cards. I will list the main supplies used below the picture of the card and a full visual supply list will be linked at the end of this post.

Hi Mindy. The blue card is by far my favorite. The final layer of white pearl paste took it way over the top for me. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very pretty cards! Thanks for sharing the video on how you created these cards! I like the blue stencil card more than the others but those other cards are pretty awesome too.
Great cards, love your color choices!
