Stay Crafty With Hero Arts

Today starts a new challenge at A Blog Named Hero with a new design team for 2025. I am excited to share that I will be joining the team once again for another year. 

To play along with us for a chance to win a $50 gift card to the Hero Arts shop just upload your project using at least one product by Hero Arts by the end of the challenge. 

This card today also completes my Valentines Inspiration series but doesn't men that you won't see another Valentines card before VDay. 

Valentines Inspiration Day 6

Welcome to Day 6 of my valentines series. Todays card is brought to you by Concord & 9th

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and 6 different colors of panels. I stamped each color panel with the words first and then used the coordinating doe to cut them out. I stacked all the panel with the negative hearts together and adhered them to the base. To finish the card I added the colored hearts to spell out the greeting

Valentines Inspiration Day 5

Welcome to Day 5 of my Valentines series. Today's card uses some mixed media sprays.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel of white Heavystock cardstock. I sprayed the heavystock with some pink and purple metallic sprays that have gold in them. This card is so pretty in real life with all the shimmer. 

The cover die is also cut from white shimmer cardstock.

Valentines Inspiration Day 4

Welcome to day 4 of my Valentines series. For today's card I am using products from an old kit by Hero Arts.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a white panel. I used the eclipse technique. I created the background using the stencils from the kit and then cut the love out of the background and several loves out of white cardstock. I stacked them together and added the floral one as the top then glued them in the negative space. 

 I added this close up photo so you could see it better.

Addicted to Stamps & More - 485 Diecuts/Stencils

Welcome to Day 2 of my valentines series. 

Today's card is also for our challenge over at  Addicted to Stamps and more.

To make this card, I started with a white top folding A2 card base and a panel of White Heavystock.  I used a Gel Plate, brayer, Die and stamp by Hero Arts, a stencil by A Colorful Life Designs and some sprays by Imagine Crafts. 

I sprayed the Fireworks spray on the gel plate and used the brayer to distribute it. Next I laid the heart stencil down and sprayer again with the firworks spray and also a gold glimmer spray. I laid the paper over it and then rubbed it with my hands to press it into the paper. 

To finish the card, I added a greeting and the love die cut. 

Chai Love You Lots

Today starts day 1 of my valentines series for 2025.

My card uses products from Dare 2B Artzy, it's one of the newest sets. I received it in the mail today and could not wait to ink it up. 

To make this card, I started with a white top folding card base and a white panel cut to the same size. I stamped the cup, the trio of hearts (twice) and the love on a seperate piece of cardstock. I colored them up using OLO markers and then cut them out with the coordinating die and added to the front. I created a background using a stencil that resembled beans.
