Celebrating the 5th Anniversary of A Blog Named Hero

March 25, 2017

Hello there! Today I’m excited to join A Blog Named Hero for a fun blog hop celebrating their fifth anniversary.
My project features the gorgeous Color Layering Hibiscus stamp set & coordinating dies.
I used several Hero Arts ink cube sets on the flowers & leaves: Flower Petal, Floral Hues, Rain Forest & Morning Glory.
I used the Happy & Hello Stamp & Cut sets for the sentiment. I blended color on the happy die cut using the Morning Glory ink cubes.

Hero Arts 2017 Catalog Release Blog Hop

February 14, 2017

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join several talented designers in hop to celebrate the new 2017 Catalog Release by Hero Arts! I’ve created a couple of projects featuring some of the new products.
My first card features the Birthday Animal Silhouettes stamp set & coordinating frame cuts.
I stamped the colorful animal silhouettes using several Hero Arts inks: Bubblegum, Orange Soda, Butter Bar, Green Apple & Aegean.
This next card showcases the Luggage Tag Alphabet Frame Cuts. I saw this quote on a t-shirt and thought it would be really fun to try with the alpha dies. I went around asking everyone in my house if they could understand the card and even little Emma said, “yep, it’s never look back, mom! I get it!” Hooray! They actually got it! lol!
Behind the die cut panel I blended Orange Soda & Butter Bar ink to create a gradient background.
Giveaway
Hero Arts will be giving away three $25 shopping sprees, drawn from comments left across all blogs in the hop.
Leave me a comment by Tuesday, February 21st at 11:59pm PT for your chance to win!

My Monthly Hero November 2016

November 7, 2016

Hi there! I’m excited to be joining Hero Arts for a hop to showcase their latest November My Monthly Hero Kit.
I had so much fun making these ornaments with the stamps & dies included in the kit. There are truly endless ways to make them and are also the perfect size for a small gift or chocolate. I love that!
My next card features the adorable little Mini Christmas stamp set, which is an add-on.
I created a little snowy scene by masking off the church & trees and blending some ink for the background. The snowy hill was just cut freehand with my craft knife.
Hero Arts is giving away one kit as a prize to one blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes Sunday, November 13 at 11:59pm, and the winner will be announced the following week on the Hero Arts blog.
