Masking 101 + another sneak peek + more!
It’s Wednesday, and that means we have a video or step-by-step project to share with you. This week I’ll be showing you some simple masking techniques and tips on how to use clear alphabets with a SNEAK PEEK from our upcoming catalog of our NEW Sparkle Clear™ Little Letters!
Sparkle Clear Little Letters have 5 fonts in each set, plus fun images — including birds — 12 gemstones and a unique frame!
One thing I have to share before you watch the video — I’m told that I have a very unique accent. I grew up in northeast Ohio and moved to Texas 12 years ago — my friends and family in Ohio all claim that I have a Texas twang, while my Texas friends call me “The Yank”. Can’t win, ha ha!
Supplies:
- Sparkle Clear: H (CL197)
- Sparkle Clear: E (CL194)
- Sparkle Clear: L (CL201)
- Sparkle Clear: O (CL204)
- Sparkle Clear: D (CL193)
- Lagoon Notecards
- Assorted Crystal Gemstones
- Memories Black Ink
- Other: Scallop edge cardstock (Bazzill), twine
And now, for a very special contest: one lucky winner will receive ALL of the new Sparkle Clear Little Letters! To enter, add a comment to this blog post and share your ideas for using Little Letters. I will chose a random comment and announce the winner tomorrow, along with the winners of Shari’s Collage Challenge!
Sparkle Clear Little Letters will be arriving at Hero Arts Retailers starting May 1st.
Hope you enjoyed the video and the sneak peeks! Plus, don’t forget — you still have until Sunday at 11:59 PST to enter this week’s Bird Challenge!

Hi, I am crazy about the lay-out today. My grandson is about the age of the child in the picture, and I think he will get a puppy in the future. This will make a great idea lay-out for him. Thanks! Nancy E

I love all the different fonts available with these sets. I doubt you can ever have too many fonts, each card seems to ask for it’s own special set and with these you will have many great choices. I love it. Thanks HA for all your shared talent, incredible ideas and everchanging stamp sets. You never bore me.

I just loved the video. It is a great refresher course even for “old” timers like me. I always forget about masking my projects, and I have completely fallen in love with the owls. I have them on my list of MUST haves.
