Hero Arts | July 2024 Hero Studio Countdown to Creativity

Hello there and welcome as we countdown to the release of the Hero Arts July 2024 Hero Studio Kits and extras, which release on Monday. Yesterday was the peeks of the Card Kit of the Month and today we are focussing on the Monthly Minis. For my card, I am using the Clear Set + Dies of the Month. 

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

The kits this month are all about the beach and oceans and the June 2024 Clear Set + Dies of the Month feature beautiful mermaids and sea creatures. The kit can be purchased as part of a subscription, or from the Hero store. 

I started off my card by stamping the mermaid with the seahorse image from the set, as well as the fish onto Hero Arts Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. I then coloured them with Copic Markers and die cut them out using the coordinating dies. 

For the background, I took a panel of Yupo Paper and added a layer of Isopropyl Alcohol on first, I then dropped on my favourite colour combination for water of Tim Holtz Alcohol inks on top - Aqua, Patina, Mermaid and Turquoise. I added the lightest ones first and dried in-between all the layers using the Tim Holtz Alcohol Ink Blower. Once I got the panel as I liked it, I splattered on Isopropyl Alcohol to create the droplets/bubbles in the water. I then set it aside to dry. 

Once dry, the mermaid and fish were adhered on top using thin foam tape. I then adhered the panel to a Hero Arts Clear Card with more thin foam tape. I created panels of cardstock for the inside and back of the card to hide the adhesive and also give me somewhere to write a message inside the card. 

I stamped the sentiment from the set onto more white cardstock using Hero Arts Intens-ified Black Ink. It was die cut out with the coordinating die. I also cut the die again from white cardstock and adhered the stamped one on top (for added dimension). It was then adhered to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I embellished with Hero Hues Clear Enamel Dots.

Altenew | Sarah Simon Collab Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today for their collaboration with Sarah Simon of The Mint Gardener. Releasing today are stamps, dies and embossing folders, and I am using two new sets for my cards today. 

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

I started off my first card by stamping the gorgeous image from the Altenew Peony & Lilac Swag Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink and the Altenew Stampwheel. I then placed the Altenew Peony & Lilac Swag Simple Coloring Stencils on top and one by one added ink blending to them to colour the image.

I used Altenew Rose Petal Fresh Dye Inks for the peonies, Altenew Enchanted Garden Fresh Dye Inks for the lilacs and Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves. I blended all the inks using Altenew Mini Blending Brushes. It was then cut out using the Altenew Peony & Lilac Swag Dies. It was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. I then cut off the excess using scissors. 

I stamped one of the larger sentiments in the set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating die. I also cut the die another two times from white cardstock and adhered these to the back of the stamped one for added dimension. It was adhered to the card using liquid glue. To finish, I embellished with Altenew Crystal Clear Gem Sparkles. 

For my second card, I used the Altenew Cupcake Cosmos 3D Embossing Folder. I first blended Altenew Lapis Lazuli Crisp Dye Inks onto a panel of white cardstock using an Altenew Large Ink Blending Brush. I then placed it inside the embossing folder before running it through my die cutting machine. I then blended more ink top, to make the flowers a bit darker. 

I let the panel dry for a little while and then applied Altenew Cloud White Pigment Ink onto the flowers using a flat foamed Ink Blending Tool. I splattered on Altenew Iridescent Shimmer Ink Spray on top for some added sparkle and shine. Once the panel was dry, it was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. 

I stamped a sentiment from the Altenew Peony & Lilac Swag Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Altenew Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with more foam tape. To finish off, I embellished with Altenew Crystal Clear Gem Sparkles.

Simon Says Stamp | Beautiful Blooms

Hello there, I hope you are well and your week is going smoothly so far. Today I have a card to share using the new Beautiful Blooms set from the Simon Says Stamp Sunny Vibes release, which is out now. This is such a pretty set and I was delighted when I received it in the post/mail!

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

I started off my card by stamping most of the images from the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Blooms Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then coloured them using Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies list for reference). Not a fan of colouring? There is a coordinating stencil set to colour these flowers using ink blending. 

I fussy cut them out using scissors and then adhered them to a panel of white cardstock using thin foam squares. A few of the leaves were adhered down flat, with Bearly Art Glue. I adhered the panel to a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape. 

I stamped the sentiment from the set onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied WOW! Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip using a Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Labels Die and then adhered to the card with more thin foam squares. To finish off, I embellished with Spellbinders Opal Mix Color Essentials Gems. 

Simon Says Stamp also kindly sent me their new Microfiber Cleaning Cloth. I use cloths around my craft room for so many different things - cleaning stamps, cleaning tools, cleaning off ink blending brushes when changing colours/shades ... the list goes on! For this one, since the stamp set was new and I didn't get a great impression first time, I wet the cloth a little with water and then wiped it over the stamps. This made the ink cling to them better and I got a much better stamped impression the second time.

The fussy cutting did take me a while to do but I think it was still quicker than me making masks and having to cut those out. I love the added little bit of dimension by cutting them out too! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a lovely day! 

Spellbinders | Tunnel Scapes

Hello there, I am delighted to be over on the Spellbinders Blog today, sharing three cards using the fabulous new Tunnel Scapes collection by Vicky Papaioannou. This is such a fun collection! I really enjoyed making these cards! You can create lots of different scenes with these dies, making them as dimensional as you like. 

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

One of the cards that I am sharing over on the Spellbinders Blog is one I have created using the Rainbow Slice Tunnel Etched Dies. 

I have paired it with the older Artful Brush Etched Dies so that it looks like the paintbrush is painting. I love the effect with the different layers! The sentiment uses the fabulous Typewriter Adventure Sentiments Clear Stamp Set.

For more information on how I made this card, as well as the others that I made, please head over to the Spellbinders Blog.

Spellbinders | Pink Anemone

Hello there, I hope you are well. Today I have two projects to share with you with using the Spellbinders Spotlight Frames and Florals Collection by Lisa Horton. I have already shared one card using the collection, which you can see here. It is such a great collection! The products work perfectly together but can can also be combined with other products/collections too. 

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

I started off my card by die cutting the Spellbinders Layered Anemone Etched Dies from white cardstock. I added ink blending on top using blending brushes. I used Altenew Dried Petals Fresh Dye Inks for the petals, Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the flower centres and Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves and stems. 

The flowers were then assembled using Bearly Art Glue and set aside while I worked on the rest of the card. For the background, I wanted something there but for it to still be fairly subtle, so I die cut the Spellbinders Woven Lattice Texture Etched Die from white cardstock. This die is rectangular in shape but I simply went in with my scissors and cut it down to make a square shape instead. 

It was adhered flat to a US A2 sized white card base with Bearly Art Glue. I then adhered the stems and leaves on top with Bearly Art Glue and the flowers with thin foam tape. I die cut the hello word from the Spellbinders A Little Hello Sentiments Clear Stamp & Die Set three times from black cardstock. 

I cut the shadow piece twice from white cardstock. They were layered one on top of another for dimension and then adhered to the card with thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Pink Color Essentials Gems. 

When I was making the flowers, I made three thinking that I would add three to the card. I ended up only using two, so I thought I would make a little tag using the other one. I started off by making the tag itself. I cut a 3.25" x 2" panel of white cardstock using the Spellbinders Guillotine Paper Trimmer. I then placed it inside the Spellbinders 3-in-1 Tag Punch to cut the top into a tag shape. 

I die cut the hello from the Spellbinders A Little Hello Sentiments Clear Stamp & Die Set from white cardstock and then the shadow twice from white cardstock. I added ink blending on the word itself using Altenew Dried Petals Fresh Dye Inks (the three darkest shades). The two shadow pieces were adhered one on top of another using Bearly Art Glue and then word adhered on top. 

I stamped the sentiment in the stamp set onto black cardstock using Spellbinders Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Spellbinders White Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip using the coordinating dies. I adhered the hello word to the tag first, using thin foam tape, followed by the friend strip. The flower was popped behind the top of the word, as well as the leaves. I added Spellbinders Black Journey Twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems.

Spellbinders | Floral Spray

Hello there, today I have a card and tag to share with you using the Spellbinders Bayfair Collection from Rosie's Studios. The collection includes lots of papers, stickers, embellishments and also three die sets - two of which I am using today. I am combining them with the Timeless Sentiments and also some new tools. 

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

I started off my card by die cutting the Spellbinders Floral Spray Etched Dies from various shades of cardstock. I used Spellbinders Purple Mist and Lilac Blossom for the purple flowers, Spellbinders Waterfall and Teal Topaz for the aqua flowers, Spellbinders Glacier and Raindrop for the blue flower and Spellbinders Fruit Punch, Hero Arts Ultra Pink and Hero Arts Plum for the pink flowers. The flower centres were cut from Spellbinders Beeswax Cardstock. The leaves were cut from Spellbinders Peridot and Rainforest Cardstock. 

I love that you can mix and match these flowers however you wish! You can layer them or leave them one layer - the possibilities are (almost!) endless! I adhered them together using Bearly Art Glue. I die cut one of the Spellbinders Nested Postage labels & Tags Etched Dies from white cardstock and then arranged my flowers on top to get an idea of where I wanted the sentiment to be before adhering down. 

I placed a piece of Spellbinders Black Glimmer Hot Foil on top of the panel (shiny side up) and then placed the sentiment from the Spellbinders Always You Timeless Sentiments Press Plates on top (face down). I held it in place with Spellbinders Best Ever Craft Tape and then placed it on my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to heat up. Once ready, it was run through my Spellbinders Platinum Six Machine. 

I carefully removed the plate and foil and then adhered the flowers and leaves to the panel using Bearly Art Glue and thin foam tape. The panel was then adhered to a a US A2 sized white card base with thin foam tape. I adhered Altenew Pocketful of Sunshine Enamel Dots to some of the flower centres and then embellished the card with Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems. 

Since I had some leftover flowers (I made extra as I wasn't sure initially how many I needed for my arrangement), I made a tag too. I started off by cutting a panel of white cardstock using the new Spellbinders Guillotine Paper Trimmer to 4.25" x 2.5" and placed it inside the Spellbinders 3-in-1 Tag Punch. This punch can cut tags with a 1.5" width, a 2" width or 2.5" width. It just cuts to top of the cardstock into the tag shape, so it can be any length you want, which is great! I used the 2.5" for my tag today. 

I then hot foiled the sentiment from the Spellbinders New Beginnings Timeless Sentiments Press Plates at the bottom using Spellbinders Black Foil and the same method as I did for the card. I adhered the flowers and leaves to the tag using Bearly Art Glue and thin foam tape. 

I added an Altenew Pocketful of Sunshine Enamel Dot to the centre of the purple flower and then embellished with Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems. To finish, I tied Spellbinders Black Journey Twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow.

These flowers are so pretty and I can see myself using them a lot. I also love the font on the sentiments and the postage shape dies are great too! Thank you so much for popping by today, I really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day! 

Spellbinders | Sealed 3D Botanical

Hello there, I am delighted to be over on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing a few projects using the new Sealed 3D Botanical collection. This pretty collections features two new 3D Cut & Emboss Folders (you can cut and emboss at the same time!), as well as two new wax seal stamps and lots of Labels & Tags Dies, which I am sure I will be using on lots of upcoming projects. 

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

One of the cards I am sharing is a card that I made for a very dear friend of mine. It uses the Spellbinders Floral For You 3D Cut & Emboss Folder, which is such a pretty design! 

I added ink blending onto the Cut & Emboss panel with Altenew Inks and then added Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment Ink on top to highlight the raised areas. This is one of my favourite techniques to do with embossing folders. 

I finished off with a sentiment die cut from Spellbinders Yana's Layered Script Sentiments Etched Dies and an accompanying sentiment heat embossed from Spellbinders Typewriter Adventure Sentiments Clear Stamp Set. 

Please head over to the Spellbinders Blog to see the rest of the projects. I created two cards, a tag and also decorated two envelopes with the new wax seals.

Spellbinders | Summertime Vacay

Hello there, I apologise that my posts are a bit sporadic at the moment, I am working behind the scenes but I can't share everything just yet. I am here today though to share a card made using the Spellbinders June 2024 Large Die of the Month Club Kit. It is called Summertime Vacay and you can see why, it is perfect for summer! 

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

I started off by die cutting the elements from the Spellbinders June 2024 Large Die of the Month Club Kit (I used all the dies in the kit). I die cut the chairs and parasol from Spellbinders Snowdrift and Lilac Blossom Cardstock. The chairs were assembled using Bearly Art Glue and set aside. For the parasol, I added ink blending to the back piece with Villainous Potion Distress Ink and then adhered the top pieces using thin foam tape. 

I die cut the parasol pole from Spellbinders Brushed Silver Cardstock and popped it inside the parasol, adhering with Bearly Art Glue. I die cut the sand from Spellbinders Dune Cardstock and added ink blending using Vintage Photo Distress Ink. The seafoam was cut from Spellbinders Snowdrift Cardstock. I die cut a panel of Spellbinders Waterfall Cardstock using the die included for the sea/ocean. I then added ink blending on top with Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Inks.

I die cut the sun die and added ink blending to that with Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink. The background piece is a panel of white cardstock that I added ink blending on top with Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Festive Berries Distress Inks. I adhered the sea/ocean piece to the background piece, followed by the sand (with the sun piece popped behind) and then the seafoam. 

I cut off the excess from the edges with Pro Shears and then adhered the panel to a US A2 sized white card base with tape runner adhesive. The chairs and parasol were adhered on top using thin foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from the Spellbinders Typewriter Adventure Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Spellbinders Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Spellbinders White Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with thin foam tape. To finish off, I embellished with Spellbinders Dimensional Clear Enamel Dots.

Altenew | June 2024 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Altenew today to celebrate the June 2024 release. There are lots of new stamps, dies, embossing folders, stencils, inks and embellishments in the release and I am using a few of them on my cards today. 

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

My first card uses the new Altenew Build-A-Garden: Branching Roses & Add-On Die Set (can be purchased with or without the die). I started off by stamping the image from the set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. I then took the stencils and one by one placed them on top of the image to colour it in using ink blending. 

Using Altenew Mini Blending Brushes, I blended the new Altenew Sun-Kissed Delights Fresh Dye Inks onto the flower petals and Altenew Green Valley Fresh Dye Inks on the leaves. The image was then die cut out using the coordinating die. It was adhered to an A2 sized white card base with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape and the excess was cut off the sides using scissors. 

I stamped the 'hugs' sentiment from the set onto white cardstock using Altenew Obsidian Pigment Ink. Once dry, it was die cut out using the coordinating die. I also cut the die another two times from white cardstock and adhered them one on top of another before adhering onto the card. The card is missing some embellishment, sadly the Sun-Kissed Delights Enamel Dots haven't reached me in time but I will add some to the card when they arrive! 

My second card uses the beautiful Altenew Craft-A-Flower: Japanese Anemone Layering Die Set. It was cut from white cardstock and then I added ink blending on top using Altenew Mini Blending Brushes. I used the new Altenew Blushberry Bliss Fresh Dye Inks for the petals, Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks for the flower centres and the new Altenew Jade Dreams Fresh Dye Inks for the leaves. 

The flowers were adhered together using the keyhole system. I took a white A2 sized card base and splattered Altenew Carbon Black Artists' Gouache on top. Once dry, the leaves were adhered on top with liquid glue, followed by the flowers. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Altenew Build-A-Garden: Branching Roses Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Altenew Embossing Ink. I applied Pure White Crisp Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using  Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape. 

My last card today uses the new Altenew Playful Flowers set. I stamped the image from the stamp set onto white cardstock using Altenew Permanent Black Ink. I then coloured it using Altenew Artist Alcohol Markers. I used the teals for the leaves from Water Garden Set H, the coral tones for the flowers from Island Garden Set H, and the orange tones for the other flowers from Beach Garden Set K. 

I die cut the image using the Altenew Playful Flowers Dies and then adhered it to a US A2 sized white card base with Altenew Instant Dimension Foam Tape, cutting off the excess from the sides using scissors. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the set onto black cardstock, cut it into a strip and adhered it to the card. To finish off, I added a few new Altenew Black Onyx Gem Sparkles.
