Hi there. It’s already the third day of the week long celebration of one of my favorite stamp companies, Hero Arts. I worked with the latest My Monthly Hero kit for Day One, but today’s cards features last month’s kit goodies… I wanted to create some simple thank you cards to have on hand. I used the large thank you sentiment stamp as the focal point and inked it up with different Distress inks....
Hi there and welcome. I’ve decided to do dedicate a few weeks of the year to feature different stamp companies I love. I thought it was fitting to showcase HERO ARTS first, since they were my first “love” and what sparked my love of stamping. Here is the card I created for Day Two… How adorable is THIS stamp set!? It makes me melt. 😉 It’s a layering stamp set but I chose to...

Hello there. I wanted to share a couple of cards I created quickly using planner stickers. I LOVE using planner stickers in my planner, but I also think they make cute cards. My friend, Christy, has an awesome Etsy Shop called, Plan It Out Loud where she sells some really cool planner stickers. You can visit her store HERE. I think THESE stickers are so fun and perfect for masculine cards. I made this card for...
Today I want to share some cards I created for the Lasting Hearts Card Drive. Lasting Hearts help mothers who have lost a child. The goal is to have doctors give a handmade card and book (“You’re the Mothers of all Mothers” by Angela Miller) to parents who have just lost a child via miscarriage. Having experienced two miscarriages during my infertility journey, this cause is so special to me and I wanted to...
Hello and welcome. I love combining stamp sets and THIS Texting Stamp Set by Simon Says Stamp and THIS LOL stamp set by Hero Arts seemed to be a perfect pair…. I stamped the phone using my Misti tool and I thought it’s large shape would make a fun shaker card. (You can see it in action HERE). The emoji sentiment was stamped using THIS ink on to THIS cardstock. It made me think...
Hello. Today I’m back with another holiday themed card using some products from Hero Arts… When I opened THIS stamp set, I flipped some of the pine branch images in a different direction than how they were mounted to create my own custom background. I kept them on the acetate sheet they came on and inked them up with THIS, THIS and THIS color of Distress Inks. I lightly misted water on top of...
Hello. Thanks for visiting my blog. So I was shopping the other day and what did I hear?…Christmas music. Say what!? I really want Halloween to come before I can even begin to wrap my head around Christmas…but time flies and it will be here before I know it. It has inspired me to get a head start on creating holiday cards. I’ve decided to share a holiday themed card every Tuesday and Thursday...
Hello! Today I have five cards that feature a technique that I like to call, “Camouflage Die-Cutting”. I will also be showing how to use the Hero Arts Ombre’ Ink Pads in a simple way. Here are the cards… The reason I call it “Camoflauge Die-Cutting” is because you die-cut the image from the background and when it’s adhered back into place, it almost appears hidden in the design. It blends right in. To...
Hello! I created a simple card set using some new products… I started by cutting three pieces of Neenah Cardstock using THIS stitched frame die. I stamped THIS awesome Hero Arts background stamp using some new Distress Ink Colors (Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio, and Abandoned Coral) . I spritzed the stamp lightly with water after inking, right before stamping, to get a watercolor look. I heat embossed sentiments from three new Hero Arts stamp sets...
