Retro Kitchen Release

 There are two very very fun collections that just dropped from Hero Arts! Today I'm sharing a new card created using two stamp sets from the Retro Kitchen release. But I'm happy that you'll see a lot of my What's Brewing card samples throughout the promo artwork! 

If you're reading this before June 25, 2025, make sure to leave a comment on my mousey instagram post for chance to win a $50 Hero Arts gift card!

That little kitchen mouse stole my heart the instant I saw it. My card today uses the What's Cookin? stamp set and the On the Shelf stamp set.

I love that there is a little die that just cuts the mouse's arms "open" so you can pull the arms through the overalls to hold something. It's the little things that get us cardmakers excited! I colored all of the set's images with Copic markers and die cut using my Platinum 8 Machine.

The collection also comes with a fun layering stencil called Retro Rainbow. The set comes with 4 layers, but I only used two layers to put my background together. I inked layer 3 with Lemon Drop Reactive Ink and layer 4 with Splash Reactive Ink.

More Lemon Love

 There are a couple more lemon-inspired cards I want to share with you from The Weekender retreat by Spellbinders. The two cards today were from Jaycee Gaspar's class. I absolutely love the 3D embossing folder here and how he used the layering stencils.

The first card uses gorgeous rub ons that maaaay only have been available through the class. It is still a great source of inspiration! The statue and sentiment were also rub ons that were fussy cut. The stencil here was also likely a class exclusive, however, with the technique used (misting the inked stencil with water before placing on the paper) the stencil design itself isn't too important... but I did find something similar here. 

The second card just has the 'wow factor' with the beautiful 3D embossing folder. One side of the folder was inked with Blue Hawaii ink, add the Beeswax cardstock, then run it through the machine. I repeated this step 4 times to get the saturation of color how I liked it.

Smile! You're on camera

 Smile! I have a fun polaroid camera card to share today from the June Hero Studio release.

I just know this little camera would take perfect beach snap shots! Most of this card uses the June Fancy Die of the month paired with a mix of beautiful Spellbinders Colorwheel Cardstock.

For the background I pulled out some Sand cardstock and stamped the Burlap Background Cling in matching Sand ink. The lovely 'smile' sentiment is from an older kit, February 2025.
