Hola everyone! Pocono Pam here sharing a Thanksgiving card featuring the Grateful Pumpkin clear stamp set. This beautiful fall themed set also comes in a bundle that includes Frame Cuts designed to work perfectly with the stamps. To begin, I splattered a 4" x 5.25" Cup O' Joe cardstock panel with Bronze Glimmer Metallic Ink and adhered it to a top-folded white card base. Next,...

I am grateful for every day! So let’s begin by making a seasonal Thanksgiving/Fall grateful card using some watercolors. After all, fall officially started this week!!! Grab some Luxe Watercolor Paper, a Pitch Black Core Ink pad and the stamps from Grateful Pumpkin. Randomly stamp the leaves, branches and acorns all over the watercolor paper. Let thoroughly dry. Take another piece of paper and stamp...

Hello there, Michelle here and today I have a tag to share with you using Buffalo Check Pattern Bold Prints. This background stamp is so versatile. It works all year round but for today's project, I thought I would create an autumn tag which fits perfectly for our Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge this month, which is to use fall colours. When I think of...

Hello there, Michelle here and today I have a video and card to share with you using the new Autumn Leaves Fancy Dies. I thought these would look lovely die cut from our fall glitter paper and I always love black with copper tones, I think it looks quite dramatic! Here is the video showing how I made the card: If you are having trouble...

Temperatures are dropping, leaves are starting to turn, and a new collection of autumn themed stamps and dies is in the Hero Arts shop now.

November brings one of my favorite holidays, Thanksgiving. I wanted to make a few cards for dear friends, so I decided to do it Japanese style with Etegami. Etegami is Japanese postcard art that usually shares heartfelt feelings. Instead of the traditional handwritten words, I used one of our messages from the Color Layering Pomegranate set. Another characteristic of Etegami is painting, so our Reactive...

Hello there, Michelle here sharing a duo of Thanksgiving cards using the same supplies but with slightly different designs and different metallic colours. I really love using metallics on white cardstock, but where I think that they really shine, is on darker colours. Today I am using the beautiful Nautical cardstock as a backdrop for them. I started off my cards by taking two 4.25"...

Hello! One of my favorite looks for fall is gold embossing on dark cardstock and coloring in images with colored pencils or metallic watercolors. Today I'm sharing an Autumn Bounty with this background created by stamping and embossing images from the Autumn Bounty Stamp & Cut Set on navy cardstock with Gold Embossing Powder and coloring in the images with Polychromos colored pencils. (If you...

One of my favorite holidays of the year is Thanksgiving. How about you? There are so many wonderful things about Thanksgiving but I especially enjoy spending the day with family and friends. Then, of course, we all love sharing a large, traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Today I'm sharing a dinner-inspired card that I made with the new Thanksgiving Table stamp set and the matching dies. I'll...

Good morning! Jess here with a fun way of using the beautiful Autumn Icons Fancy Dies to create simple rustic decorations for some fall treats! I was baking a batch of pumpkin spice muffins a few days ago and wanted to "spice" them up a bit! I was also trying to convince myself that they were muffins (and therefore healthy) so I decided against adding...

Since there are never enough hours in the day, I try to make good use of my time - when I make one card, I often make two. However, I don't really like duplicating the same card multiple times. Instead, I'll reuse a card design but change some of the elements - the colors, the images and the sentiments. Today, I'm sharing a holiday card...

I love Fall! As I am writing this post our balcony door is open and I can feel fresh Autumn air - it's been anticipated so much after a hot Summer. With Fall come several holidays including the biggest one - Thanksgiving. Today I have a watercolor card to share with you created using Hero Arts Color Layering Thanksgiving stamp set. This is a layering...

Hi there! Today I have a simple technique to share with you that is both fun and addictive. You’ll only need a few supplies — a stamp with lots of solid area (I’m using the Forest Background), watercolor paints, water, a paintbrush, and cardstock. We’re going to paint right onto the stamp!

It is hard to believe that Autumn already started, and before we know it, we will be enjoying the season’s celebrations. Today I am sharing a card that I created using a wonderful set called Color Layering Fall Trees, perfect for this time of the year.

I love the new . It is truly versatile. As you might know, I love using one product many ways, so here are three ideas for your holiday season. For a Thanksgiving card, I combined the wreath with a turkey I created from a variety of dies. It’s so much fun to find unexpected ways […]

Hello! Today I’m sharing a Fall card that combines three of my favorite products from the 2016 Winter Catalog — one stamp set, one ink pad, and one set of dies — along with a fun technique. To get started, stamp the solid layer of the leaves onto white cardstock with Ombré Autumn Ink. Stamp […]
