Hello there and welcome as we celebrate the Hero Studio October 2024 release which is out now! This month is all about Christmas and the holidays. I will share more about the kits a little later (as well as a discount code for previous kits), but for now, I have some inspiration to share with you!
PLEASE
NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full
disclosure.
This die cuts out a Christmas tree stamped image but the cool thing is, there are two dies. The die I am using cuts the tree image out but leaves a negative space. The other die cuts out the whole image as one piece. You can layer them together for dimension, but as you can see, I decided to use the die on its own without the stamped image.
I applied
Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. They were die cut out using the coordinating dies. I also cut the dies another two times from the same Pitch Black Cardstock and adhered them one on top of each other before adhering to the cards. To finish, I added a tiny silver gem to the stars.
The pine branch panel was adhered to a US A2 sized white card base with
Hero Arts Precision Glue. I left a few of the branches without glue so that they lifted up in places and were not all completely flat. I then adhered the pine cones on top. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the
Hero Arts Poinsettia Pattern Stamp Set, cut it into strips and adhered them to the card with foam tape. To finish, I added a few
Hero Arts Clear Enamel Dots.
