Fa La La La Latte

 It is the week of Halloween so naturally... I have a holiday card to share! Don't worry, I didn't use red and green this time 😉

This card uses the brand new Letterpress and Foil plates from Hero Arts. I was super inspired by a card from Michelle Short , although she uses foil and I'm mimicking the look with my Unicorn Ink on a dark cardstock (Plum). So, this card is created using my BetterPress. I first used the Cup of Cheer Santa image with the fun sentiment in the BetterPress. I paired this system with my Spellbinders Platinum 8.5 Die Cutting System - which gives me perfect results every time!

The background (although it just peaks out a bit) uses the Celebration Plate, which I inked with Nautical and also ran through the BetterPress. Both layers were then die cut with my favorite Postage Infinity Dies.

Super quick and simple! Thanks for stopping by!

Best Gift Ever - New Collection Dropped!

 There's a new collection dropping today at Hero Arts! The Best Gift Ever collection is a perfect holiday bundle, but it is also perfect for celebration cards of any occasion. Today I'm sharing three cards with the new set and they all happen to be holiday cards... when the time comes I can easily recreate with a birthday or a baby sentiment :)

I highly recommend saving a couple bucks and getting the Best Gift Ever Gift Boxes Bundle! The bundle includes the Gorgeous Giftwrap Layering Stencil, Gift Boxes Die Set, and the Wrap it Up Letterpress + Foil Plate. I used all three of those items for the card above. The sentiment comes from the Here for the Presents Letterpress + Foil set, which I did run through my BetterPress machine.

My second card uses just the Gift Boxes Die Set, and the Wrap it Up Letterpress + Foil set. I foiled the bows using my Glimmer Machine and Silver foil. Then I ink blended the cut out boxes with Key Lime Fizz, Green Apple, and Fresh Lawn. The sentiment is also foiled with silver (so hard to photograph!) from Here for the Presents Letterpress + Foil set. I did cut the Peony cardstock background from my favorite Postage Infinity Dies and also splattered with White paint.

Last one! This card uses the same sets as card 2, and I simply followed the pattern of the how the box die set is laid out. I kept this one nice and simple!

Howl-o-ween Pupkin

  I diverted away from the Halloween cards for a hot second but... I'm back! The adorable Pupkin Die was screaming to be used from the back of my "need to make soon" bin. And it's especially fitting because my doggy, Wicket, dressed up like a little pumpkin for Halloween last year.

First I put together the Pupkin using a mix of ColorWheel Cardstock and Hero Arts cardstock. I needed a nice place for the cutie to sit, so I dug out this Trellis Window Die for him to sit in front of. The sentiment was letter pressed from the Spooky Season set.

Using the lovely Haunted Romance dies, I cut out the little spider web and the variety of bats to add around the garden gate. This little die set seems simple but it has all your Halloween necessities! I keep it front and center in my stash during spooky season. And finally, I pulled out the cute ghost from one of the Craftoween advent sets (now sold out, unfortunately!).

Here's little Wicket dressed as a pumpkin last Halloween!
