Video: CAS Mixed Media Cards featuring the April My Monthly Hero Kits

Hello friends! It’s Channin here and in today’s video I will demonstrate how to create a pair of clean and simple mixed media cards with the Classic and Premium April 2023 My Monthly Hero kits. Check out the video below and/or read the following post to get the step by step instructions on these fun and unique cards.

Watch above or on the Hero Arts YouTube channel.

To create these cards I first die-cut a circle out of watercolor paper with a die from the Nesting Circle Infinity Die set. I then ink-smooshed the circle with Lemon Drop, Taffy, Blue Raspberry and Purple Galaxy Reactive Inks, making sure to dry the circle in between colors to prevent color mixing. 

Next, with the Doodles Stencil (Premium) I applied Hero Paste to the circle. For the Classic version, I simply stamped a design from the included clear stamp set (Classic & Premium) in Embossing & Watermark Ink and then heat embossed the design with Detail White Embossing Powder.  

Next, I stamped the circles with a couple of the textured designs from the clear stamp set in INTENS-ified Black ink. I then adhered the circles to the front of an A2 top-folding Dove White card base and trimmed off the overhang. 

Next I added a couple pieces of the Fancy Script washi tape (Classic & Premium) around the circles. I then die-cut a vase and two set of leaves with the Flowers and Vases Fancy Dies (Premium) as well as a large leaf sprig with the coordinating dies (Classic & Premium) for the clear stamp set out of Dove White cardstock. I then adhered the die cuts to the cards with foam adhesive. 

Next, I stamped a couple of sentiments from the clear stamp set in Embossing & Watermark Ink onto Pitch Black cardstock. I then pour Detail White Embossing Powder over the sentiment and heat set with a heat tool. Lastly, I finished the cards by adhering the sentiments to the card fronts with foam adhesive. 

I hope you enjoyed today’s cards and video! Thank you so much for stopping by!
