Happy Brunch Day!

 I know it's not Sunday, which is the perfect day for brunch, but hump-day Wednesday is the next best thing! 


I imagine they are all dancing in excitement before I pour maple syrup on top of them and eat them :) 


When I saw the egg die I actually first thought it was a sliced avocado! I guess that's the California in me. So since I'm the only one who thought "avo!" I made sure to include an egg, too. This adorable die set is the Spellbinders November Small Die of the Month. I do look forward to getting these each month, and I have been a sub to the small die for three full years now. It's a great value and the dies are always very fun!


All of my dies are cut from various ColorWheel cardstock colors. I also used the Plaid Company Embossing Folder for the background to add some subtle texture.


Oh my gosh and they're drinking little coffees, too. I love them!

Hey There, Book Worm

 I hope you've been enjoying all of the November Hero Studio inspiration. The book theme is just so much fun and a great mini escape from all the holiday cards filling your feeds! I have two more cards to share that feature different kits from the release. To view my original two cards for the release, visit my blog post here.


I said it before and I'll say it again... this little wormy is the star of the entire release! This card uses the open book dies from the November Card Kit. The worm himself and the 'hello book worm' come from the November Die Set. I used the beautiful new ColorWheel cardstocks to put this one together.


My second card came together very quickly. There was much much less die cutting and gluing compared to my book worm card...


The November Cling Stamp is the star of this card. I can see that checkerboard pattern being popular for summer themed cards, too. I stamped the cling in Dusty Blue and Cornflower for an ombre look. The stamped panel was cut with the Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies.


The sweet image is from the November Stamp and Cut set. I did some very basic coloring with my Copics, die cut the image, and centered it on some Peony cardstock cut with the Rounded Jewel Infinity Die. I finished it off with some flowers cut from the main November Card Kit.

I have to share my bonus card! I absolutely love love loooove this collection from Hero Arts. Unfortunately, it was released at a very busy/not-so-great time in my personal life, so I didn't have time to use it much. 


The cover plate is from the December 2024 kit called Rainbows and Clouds, but it is currently available to purchase online. I ink blended the cover plate portion (from bottom/lightest to top/darkest) with the following Reactive Inks: Taffy, Grape Slush, Splash, and Blue Hawaii.



The darling clouds are from the Floral Rainbows and Clouds set, colored with Copic Markers. I tucked the Pear Blossom Light behind the top cloud. My idea for this card was that there is always sunshine around the corner on a dreary day.
