Hero Arts | Spring Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, today is an exciting day as the Hero Arts Spring Release is now available to purchase in the Hero Arts Store! We are celebrating with a fun and inspirational blog hop (with a giveaway too!). I have two cards to share with you today using two new sentiment stamp sets, a floral die set and a floral stamp set with coordinating stencils. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

My first card uses the new Hero Arts Wild Columbine Set. I stamped the image on to white cardstock using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. I then took the Hero Arts Color Layering Wild Columbine Stencils and placed them on top, one at a time and added ink bending to colour in the image. I used Ink Blending Brushes and Hero Arts Orchid, Amethyst, Dandelion, Kiwi and Green Hills Core Inks. 

The image was die cut out using the coordinating Frame Cuts. I took a panel of white cardstock and masked off the edges. I added ink blending inside using Hero Arts Orchid Core Ink and then removed the masks. The panel was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with tape runner adhesive. 

The flower image was adhered on top using thin foam tape. I stamped the 'happy birthday' sentiment from the new Hero Arts Friendly Messages Set on to white cardstock using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating Frame Cut and adhered to the card with more thin foam tape. To finish off, I added a few clear sequins. 

My next card uses the new Hero Arts Daffodil Fancy Dies. I die cut them from white cardstock twice. I then added ink blending on top using an Ink Blending Tool and Hero Arts Dandelion, Butter Bar and Papaya Core Ink. I used Hero Arts Kiwi and Green Hills Core Ink for the leaves. 

I die cut two Hero Arts Nesting Hexagon Infinity Dies and adhered them one on top of another (for dimension) before adhering to a US A2 sized white card base with Hero Arts Precision Glue. The leaves were then adhered on top with more liquid glue and the daffodil heads adhered with thin foam tape. 

I took the Hero Arts Everyday Sentiment Strips Stamp and stamped it on to Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock with Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was die cut out using the Hero Arts Sentiment Strips Fancy Die. The 'happy birthday' sentiment was then adhered to the card using thin foam tape. To finish off, I added a few dew drop embellishments.
