April My Monthly Hero kit: Plant Lady Society

April 2, 2026

Hi there! Today I’m joining an Instagram hop to help promote the fun, new April My Monthly Hero Kit called Plant Lady Society. If you love blooms, plants and chubby kitty cats, then this is right up your alley!

My Monthly Hero April Kit-Fresh Flowers Die Set, Hello Beautiful Stamp & Cut

My first card is the card for the Instagram hop featuring the Fresh Flowers Die Set along with the Hello Beautiful Stamp & Cut for the sentiment. I used a mixture of the cardstocks that come in the kit along with some Concord & 9th colors. I used one of the skinny long stem dies to create the stripes on the vase. I also added some clear enamel dots for embellishment.

STAMPtember® with Hero Arts!

September 6, 2025

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project featuring the fun, new STAMPtember® collaboration with Hero Arts called Snowy & Bright. I fell in love with this one. I love this simplistic hand drawn style of ice skaters with the adorable pup looking on.

SSS-STAMPtember®, Hero Arts-Snowy & Bright

I stamped the images with black ink and colored with Copics. I am happy to report that this new black ink is indeed copic friendly. I don’t say that lightly, because most have given me such a headache. This one did not bleed!!

More STAMPtember® Collaborations

September 9, 2024

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a few more projects using some of the latest collaborations. My first card is the lates collaboration by Hero Arts called Celebrate. I embossed the blooms in white and blended distress inks for color. I embossed the sentiment in gold and added clear sequins for embellishment.

Hero Arts STAMPtember®-Celebrate

This next collaboration set is by My Favorite Things called Love, Joy & Cookies. Here I created a grid using some Nested Square Dies. I created a shaker filling it with Red Berries Sequins and embossed the sentiment in white onto black. The images were colored with Copics.

My Favorite Things STAMPtember®-Love, Joy & Cookies

This last project is featuring the Honey Bee Stamps collaboration set called Sending Autumn Blessings. Here I stamped the pumpkins with Intense Black ink and colored them with Copics. For the background I used a sheet from Holiday Color Blend Cardstock Assortment.

Things sell out quickly during STAMPtember®, especially the stamp sets with the coordinating dies, but I linked the stamp sets still currently available that I used above. Thanks so much for stopping by!

September 19, 2020

Hi there! I’m back with the newest STAMPtember® Collaboration with Hero Arts called Park Scene.

I used masking to create this park scene. I stamped the bench and larger tree with Memento ink and then stamped the same images on post-it notes to blend color on the the background. For the hills & sky I blended distress inks. For the trees & bench I used Copics.
