Spring Meadow Release is Live

 There's a beautiful new collection out from Hero Arts called Spring Meadow. New dies, new stamps, new stencils... oh my!!

I have been making cards in sets of two lately, so this little card duo features the No One Lilac You set. Both flower images were colored with watercolors. I also used the new Birdsong Script cling stamp on the background of both cards. I absolutely looove myself a good scripty background! It can be used for literally any occasion.

Each card also has the flower image matted against an Arches Infinity Die, which I also splattered with White Acrylic speckle paint.

The stamp of the jar of flowers includes two different dies for it - you can cut the entire image as one, or you just cut the jar or just the flower bunch. I did the separate die cut and popped the flowers with foam.

Thanks for stopping by! I have a lot more to share coming up using this brand new collection! Some links are affiliates at no cost to you. Thanks for your support!

My Monthly Hero Release - In Full Bloom

 It's the 1st of February so it must be time for a new My Monthly Hero release! Not to pressure you or anything, but last month the kit sold out in like two days... so don't sit on it and subscribe!

The kit this month will absolutely scratch your spring itch and your Easter needs. This card just uses the My Monthly Hero kit (not even the Super Hero!) and there is a whole loaded flower die kit included, plus sweet bunny and flower stamps. It really is perfect!

I made two mini cards (3.5" x 4.75") with all of the flowers I die cut from the kit. I wanted the flowers to shine, so I paired them with simple backgrounds using the Arches Infinity Dies for one and the Circle Infinity Dies for the other.

 My third card today uses the layering stencils and the stamp set included in the main kit. I will admit, I did cheat a little and used the cute grass border die included with the My Monthly Super Hero Kit.

I blended the stencils using Hero Arts inks in Thistle, Cornflower, Green Apple, and Butter Bar. The bunny and flower were colored with my Copic Markers.

Let's Play a Love Game

 Lady Gaga's catchiest song is easily "Love Game", it also happens to be the name of this darling set from Concord and 9th, perfect for your Valentine's cards! (Are you impressed with my transition skills?)

Can I tell you how excited I was when I realized my favorite childhood game was also a stamp/die set?! I was, and still am, a Connect 4 master. I am thrilled that extra-large-lawn-game-size Connect 4s are slowly infiltrating bars and backyards across the country. It's finally my time to shine :)

I did "play" Connect 4 while putting these little heart dies onto the card. These are my easiest ways to win, but I still won! Anyways, I really only used the dies and stamps included in the Love Game Bundle. The very punny sentiment is stamped with Wildberry ink, and all cardstocks used are from C9 as well.

The same Love Game Bundle includes this fun word search! My mom absolutely loves word searches, she does some every single day, so making this card definitely reminded me of her. The C9 inks I used for this card are Ballet Slipper, Grapefruit, and Creamsicle.

This card uses C9 inks Sprout, Harbor, and Eucalyptus. I thought highlighting the sentiment was a fun way to tie the card together to the word search theme.
