Looking for a great product for creating cards all about love? Look no further than the Heart Confetti Fancy Die! This fun A2-sized die can be used in many different ways to sprinkle a little love on your next creation. I started this card by die-cutting the Heart Confetti Fancy Die from a panel of white cardstock. Then […]

One of the new stencils from Hero Arts, the Deco Pattern stencil, has that unique Art Deco look and feel to it and being a big fan of the Art Deco style I couldn’t resist using it to create a stylish Thank You card. I started working on my card by trimming a piece of kraft […]

Good morning! Jess here with a pair of cards showing two very different ways to use the Butterfly Confetti Fancy Die that was an add-on to the July My Monthly Hero kit. I decided to use the butterflies that are cut from the die rather than the actual die-cut panel (though I did reserve those […]

Hi, crafty friends! It’s May here with a one layer floral wreath card that I created using the floral images and sentiments from CM194 Summer Garden and the cluster of dots from CL963 Color Layering Ice Cream. I started by drawing a circle on my card front using a pencil and a 3.5″ circle die. […]

Hello there, Michelle here and I have a fun kindness card to share with you today. I am using the A Bit Of Kindness Fancy Die as my main focal point, along with the Heart Pattern Bold Prints to create a fun background. I started off by stamping the Heart Pattern Bold Prints on to […]

There is nothing better than a single stamp with a simple, beautiful message! The Kindness Is Everything stamp is a perfect example. It is so easy to make cards from this large stamp.

Finding products that weren’t designed at the same time, but fit together perfectly makes me a little giddy! That is the case with the Thank You Die and Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies. The “thank you” words almost take on a heart shape when stacked on top of each other, so it was a natural fit. I […]

Unicorns seem like a must have in a stamper’s stash these days, so I decided to share a quick and easy Magical Unicorn card today with you. I pulled out my woodblock Unicorn stamp and heat embossed it in black embossing powder onto a piece of white cardstock. I thought about stamping this image in Intense […]

So confession time with Clare: I’m obsessed with Grape Juice. No, not the actual juice, but the ink. It’s just so darn fun! It was also the basis for tying today’s colorful card trio together. I decided to use some bright, fun colors for my feathered friends today, so I used Cotton Candy and Rose Madder for […]

Good morning!  Jess here with a trio of BRIGHT cards using our fun Love is Love Bold Prints cling stamp! I was in the mood to get inky and thought it would be fun to play with the Love is Love Bold Prints cling stamp and distress inks!  I started by removing my stamp from the plastic […]

Hello there, Michelle here and I am sharing a card today using the new Go On A Safari set that was an add-on for the June My Monthly Hero kit. I started my card by taking a piece of Kraft Layering Paper. I inked up the Mud Cloth Bold Prints using Cup O’ Joe Mid-Tone […]

Hello and Happy Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a card that uses the Color Layering Mangrove set.

Whether you drink tea or coffee, the new Nesting Tea Pot Infinity Dies and the Nesting Tea Cup Infinity Dies are perfect for creating tea-themed cards for your friends and family. You can use the dies to create delightful shaped cards and tags, adorable shaker windows, and simply sweet cardstock shapes for your card designs.

Hello, it’s May here with a fun monster card. To create my own scene, I used the Monster Greetings Stamp + Die Combo combining masking and ink blending techniques. After stamping the sentiment with Intense Black ink, I masked off the areas with some scrap paper and applied Soft Granite ink with mini ink blending tool. I […]

I absolutely love both of the new Color Layering sets that have been featured this month. Maybe it’s because my son is a huge fan of big cats? The amount of stuffed tigers, lions, cheetahs and jaguars in his bedroom is borderline ridiculous! Or, maybe it’s just because they are gorgeous stamp sets, with really […]

Sometimes (okay, a lot of times!), you just need a card in a jiffy. For me, cards for guys are always the hardest to jiffy up, but the Enjoy the Journey stamp set makes it a cinch!

Hi stampers! We’re back to announce the winner from last week’s June My Monthly Hero Blog Hop. A big thank you to everyone who checked out the cards on the designers’ blogs and left lovely comments, as well as to those who ordered this month’s kit. Although the kit has sold out, many fun add-on […]

Hello, it’s May here with another simple watercolor card. To create my own scene, I combined two stamps: Unicorn Stamp & Cut and Antique Bee and Flowers. I started by stamping the floral wreath image after masking off the bee image from Antique Bee and Flowers with Intense Black ink on some watercolor paper. Then I stamped the […]

Have you seen new Kindness products from Hero Arts? They are ideal for creating encouraging and uplifting cards for those who need them most. And the best part is – Hero Arts donates 25% of our profits from these products to the Kind Campaign to help their efforts to end bullying. I used You Are Loved […]

Good morning! Jess here with a slightly irreverent belated birthday card! I don’t know about you but I am horrible about remembering to send birthday cards on time…I think I stock more belated birthday cards than I do regular birthday cards because I realize most of the cards will go out late. Eeek. I always […]

Hello there, Michelle here and I have a card to share with you using the new I’m A Puffer For You Stamp Set, along with the Puffer Frame Cuts. It is such a fun set that can be used for lots of different occasions but today, I went with a masculine themed birthday card. I […]
