Summer 2017 Catalog Release

Hero Arts 2017 Summer Catalog Release blog hop

May 17, 2017

Hello there! Today I’m excited to be joining Hero Arts in a blog hop to launch their 2017 Summer Catalog. There are some seriously fantastic designs & products in this new release. You can check out the 2017 Summer Catalog HERE. I’ve created a couple of cards using a few of the fun new sets.
My first card features the Unicorn Stamp & Cut set. This set is pure perfection!
I don’t think unicorns & rainbows will ever go out of style, do you?…not on my watch. This takes me back to my 5th grade sticker collection and Lisa Frank obsession. I love it just as much now as I did then.
I used distress inks for the background in Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon & Blueprint Sketch. I colored the images with Copics and added a few Sparkling Clear Crystal by Studio Katia to finish it off. These crystals are seriously ah-mazing!
This next card features the Paper Layering Shark die set as well as the Killer Messages stamp set. So my Charlie(he’s 11) came home from school today and I held this card up to him. He said, “Who’s that for?” I said, “Nobody yet.” He said, “That is SO COOL MOM!”…need I say more? He just said I was cool. Well, he said the card was cool, but I made the card, so doesn’t that indirectly make ME cool? Just go with it:)
I blended more distress inks on the background with lots of flicks of water. I die cut the shark with Smoke, White & Slate cardstock and added also added some googly eyes. The sentiment is from Killer Messages which goes absolutely perfectly with this Paper Layering Shark die.
