HeroWeen Days 9, 10, and 12

 I'm stttiilllll sharing more HeroWeen cards! And yes, they are out of order again, and also yes, I'm sharing a second card featuring Day 10 dies. It's such a cute day!

The first card features the tombstones and ravens from Day 9. I paired the HeroWeen dies with this classic Garden Gate die. I added black acrylic splatters over the background (and glitter wings to the ravens!).

My second card features the adorable cat die from HeroWeen Day 10...

I did a lot of ink blending to create a glowing full moon and a night sky. Our little cat found a witches broom and decided to go for a ride. I also heat embossed in silver the sentiment, which can be found in the HeroWeen Day 12 envelope.

Spooky vibe sonly!

Candy Haunted House

My inspiration for today's card is a bit odd... I was thinking of the Hansel and Gretel "fairy tale" and how it's really just a very frightening story to scare children :) But here is a haunted house made of candy, of course!

I also have a quick reel showing it come together, which I've shared today on my Instagram. This fun card uses the HeroWeen sets from days 2, 3, and 4 and the included stamp set. As usual, all my dies are cut using my Platinum 8 die cutting machine.

I used my MISTI to stamp the candy pieces with inks in Taffy, Creamsicle, and Splash. I also added some splatters with the Black Acrylic Speckle Ink.

HeroWeen Days 8 and 10

 I know I'm a bit out of order here, but any HeroWeen is better than no Heroween!

Day 8 is a great envelope because it has the fun graphic "trick or treat" die plus the darling ghost, spider, and candy corn! It also has a funky round skull but I didn't use that for this card. The entire Heroween box is just filled with amazing dies to add to your collection!

I paired the cute dies from Day 8 with some Hero Arts classics, like the Burlap cling stamp and the Three and One number dies. I also used a lot of glitter cardstock for this fun card - the more glitter the better!

This card uses some cuties from Day 10, like the frog and bubbling cauldron. All I could think of while making this card was... "And frog's breath?! I thought you liked frog's breath! Nothing's more suspicious than frog's breath." Anyways...

Thanks for stopping by for some more Halloween and Heroween fun!

HeroWeen Days 5 and 6

 Welcome back to more HeroWeen! I have two cards to share today, with the first one featuring dies from Day 5.

Day 5 features these very spooky (but cute) kitties and the tree. I paired them with the classic pumpkins from the Beep Beep Leaf Peeper die set.

To create a simple night scene, I used Cosmic Sky cardstock, cut with Arches Infinity Dies, and blended some yellow ink around the moon. The black background was also stamped with the spiderweb stamp from September MMH kit in Lisa Horton Metallic Silver Ink.

My second card today features the dies from the Day 6 set of HeroWeen. I paired this with the sentiments from Day 2, the tree form Day 5, and the ghosts from Day 4.

Cozy Season Collection

 The cutest, kitty-filled, autumn collection just dropped at Hero Arts! The Cozy Season set is a fantastic addition to your autumn stamp and die collection 🍂

My first card features that adorable Kitty Squeezer die set. This cat die fills an entire card base, or could be used as its own shape card. I have my black kitty holding a candy corn, but this is also a great option to add in a gift card or some cash!

The background was heat embossed and stamped with the new Cozy Vibes Cling Stamp.

My second card is a fun interactive card featuring a cute cat from the Hide and Peek Stamp and Cut set. The large pumpkin that he's hiding behind is from the Kitty Squeezer Die Set, and I sprinkled some stamped leaves around it. The background is again stamped with the Cozy Vibes cling stamp using Lisa Horton Metallic Ink.

I created a very simple mechanism to slide the cat up and down, so it looks like he's peeking behind the pumpkin then popping up. I just cut a slit of paper behind the pumpkin and used cardstock and a foam dot to hold the cat in place, but still able to pull him up and down.

I was still in the mood to create with the Hide and Peek set for my last card today! I colored all of the images with my Polychromos Pencils and created this little autumn scene. The background is embossed with the Falling Leaves embossing folder.

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you've enjoyed these cards from the Cozy Season Collection!

No Tricks, Just Treats

 I have another Halloween card to share! This time featuring the September My Monthly Hero Kits (sold out - but save your place in line!).

Please take a visit to my Instagram to see how it all came together! In the meantime, here are some still photos...

All elements of this card use the MMH kits, plus the beautiful ColorWheel cardstock collection. What you'll see in the video is that I added a Snap and Slide element to the witch arm so the arm moves closer to the candy bucket!

This was such an easy, but big impact, interactive element to add. And I even used dies available in the kit to give room for the motion. Be sure to check out my reel!

Happy HeroWeen - Day 2!

 I'm sure you saw a huge variety of adorable Halloween cards yesterday with the HeroWeen reveal! Instagram was filled with inspiration for Day 1's die set. Today, I'm happy to share my Day 2 card...

The Day 2 surprise was a mini stamp set filled with fun Halloween phrases. I paired my Day 1 bat, cat, and pumpkin with the "You're Spooktacular" sentiment from Day 2.

I turned the bat into a silly stumpy cat by not including the bat ears and I added the cat tail. I think he looks very cute and silly inside the pumpkin bucket!

The oldies that I used on this card include the incredible Halloween Words Stencil, brushed with Taffy Ink, the spider webs from the Haunted Romance Dies (a Halloween must have), and my go-to Postage Infinity Dies. I also added some black star sequins (included in HeroWeen box) with some Black Splatter.

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy the Day 2 inspiration! Some links are affiliates at no additional cost to you. I really appreciate your support!

Woodblock Inspired Spookiness

 Some of the stamps in the September 2026 My Monthly Hero kits immediately reminded me of classic woodblock prints. My parents have a couple woodblocks prints hanging in my childhood home, so they hold a special place in my arty heart! 

I created this spooky card with those classic black and white wood prints in mind...

I used the solid stamps the most, then cut a couple of the pumpkins that I left white. I cut one of my essential dies, the Woodblock Frames, and then did very light splatters of Black Acrylic paint.

I hope you like my woodblock print inspired spooky season card!

Harvest Scarecrow

 I am just so happy that autumn crafting is here! Both spooky season and general autumnal cards are always a fun switch from the summer.

Today I'm sharing a card using the September Stitching Die of the Month called Scarecrow Harvest.

I love adding little touches of teal or light blue in my autumn color schemes. All of the cardstock used here is from the ColorWheel collection.

For the background, I used the lovely embossing folder called Falling Leaves on white cardstock. The sentiment comes from the new Autumn Greetings stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by and happy September!

My Monthly Hero - Wicked Good!

 It's the best day of the month but somehow even BETTER! Because this month's My Monthly Hero kit is Halloween themed!!!! Spooky season has arrived! 

I will say, the My Monthly Super Hero kits are really blowing me away. You get so many extra goodies that all work so well together... definitely a great bang for your buck!

My first card uses a combination of a few different items in the kit. The super cute cauldron shaker die set is clearly the focal point of the card. The sweet little crow and frog are from the Miss Witch die set.

The witches broom is from the If the Broom Fits die set, and lastly, the "eek" sentiment is from the Tis Near Halloween stamp set. Mixing and matching is so fun with these kits... this is why getting the Super Hero kit is so great! All cardstock used is from the ColorWheel collection. 

For my second card, I really wanted to highlight the cute stamp set called Spooky Brew. I love die cutting, but I love coloring even more! I was excited to have a stamp set that gave me the excuse to pull out my Copic markers. 

I hope you can grab the kit to get yourself into the spooky season! The popularity of these kits has gotten so big that Hero Arts now has a "Save Your Spot" program. Click the subscription link to read more about how this new program works!

By the way... have you grabbed your HeroWeen box yet?! You won't want to miss out!
