Hello there and welcome to the Hero Arts Countdown for the November 2020 My Monthly Hero release. The kit releases on Monday 2nd November 2020 and we are sharing inspiration using the kit all weekend long. The kit contains a fabulous 6" x 8" stamp set, as well as a set of masking dies (plus lots of other goodies which will be revealed on Monday) and these are what I am using on my cards today.
I started off my cards by taking Dove White Top Folding Cards and stamping the circular image from the set on to the front. I used Grape Slush Reactive Ink for one and Blue Hawaii Reactive Ink for the other. Both were stamped a few times to get a nice impression.
I then took two of the masking dies (these work so that you can easily mask off the stamped images but I wanted to use them as traditional die cuts for my cards today) and cut the tree and house three times each from Dove White Cardstock. Using Precision Glue, I then adhered them one on top of another and added them to the centre of the stamped circles.
I took the sentiments in the stamp set and stamped them on to Hero Hues Pitch Black Cardstock using Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied White Embossing Powder and heat set. They were then cut in to strips and added to the cards with a combination of foam tape and Precision Glue.
For the house card, I took a piece of white cardstock and smooshed the Grape Slush Reactive Ink on to it. I then die cut it out using the smallest of the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies twice. They were again stacked up and added to the house with more liquid glue.

ReplyDeleteThese are so so beautiful Michelle! I thought when I looked at them that you had masked the circle and used a background stamp. As usual I was wrong! They are really pretty and I adore the little purple heart 💜💜💜
