2nd Take with a Cafe Die Set

 Hello friends!

I am back with another post featuring Hero Arts Die of The Month Subscription.

 

Auto-renewing monthly subscription now on the 3rd of each month.. This subscription includes a gorgeous set of exclusive dies each month. This kit typically includes a large background Fancy Die and extra dies to create more layers or messages for your creative projects.

Premium quality metal dies
Exclusive designs each month
$25 subscription price, cancel anytime
$35.98 value! Plus FREE SHIPPING! (USA only)
 
 As mentioned, there are many intricate pieces in this set. However, it is very easy to discern the die and piece them into the right place. I took a bright colour approach this time.

 I love using gray colour for the base/background. This almost guarantees a beautiful result. These are my FAVOURITE card-stock for die-cutting. HERE are the new card stock that are perfect for summer season. Check out the ones for card-making HERE.
 

Here are the two cards with the same dies. I highly recommend that you create at least TWO cards with the same die set. Sometimes the ideas came while you are creating the first card! Also, the more you create, the more inspiration will follow, based on my own experience.

 Here is my first take with this lovely die. There are many intricate pieces in this set. However, it is very easy to discern the die and piece them into the right place.

I love bright and earthy tone …. and this card was much into that direction. Once I picked out the colors, it was very fun to create this cafe. 

  I’d say that working on a project like this, it is a must to have a tweezers like this on hand. It makes the assembly task much more manageable.

                             
Once again, these are my FAVOURITE card-stock for die-cutting projects like this.
The sentiment is from Stamp/Die of the Month. “I’m Here For You” is such a simple and heartfelt message. With the cafe image, this card evokes a sense of comfort and stability. 

 Spellbinder's Surprise Bundle may still be available. This bundle offers lot of varieties and value.

Hero Arts Studio Release

Hello friends! 

 
 I am back to share the latest Hero Arts Studio release.  
 
Recently, Hero Arts asked me to create a few projects with their monthly subscriptions. To my delight, I said yes and today's post is featuring the Stamp & Cut of the Month.

 
 About the Stamp and Die Cut subscription: The May "New Subscriber" registration window is now open. Join May 1st to the 27th and receive the pictured kits.

We made some changes to Hero Studio! A la carte kits will now only be available for purchase the following month, if there are left-overs. Don't miss out on this month's designs - join now!

Auto-renewing monthly subscription now on the 3rd of each month. This subscription option includes a premium quality clear stamp set with coordinating dies, unique each month.

• Premium USA made 4” x 6” clear set
• 11 Coordinating Frame Cuts for images and sentiments
Exclusive artist designed sets each month
$27.50 subscription price

$38.98 value! Includes clear set, coordinating frame cuts plus FREE SHIPPING! (USA only)

For my design, I stamped and cut all of the images from the May Stamp/Die subscription. I colored the images with Distress Watercolour Pencils.
I love the ease and control of these watercolour pencils. Also, the familiarity of the Distress Ink names make it effortless to reach for various shades and colors.
 

 
I envision that you can use as many or few images as you like and achieve great results. I did use a dark color cardstock for the base. The colours popped even more this way. You can find the Scrapboook.com's cardstock here.  As mentioned in my posts before, I love using these A2 size card-stock.  The varieties and quality of these colour card-stock are of great value. 


 I will be back for more inspiration from the Hero Arts May Subscriptions. Thank you for stopping by!

Add A Special Touch

Hello friends!

 I am sharing a card with a special background. Today's post is to remind you the versatility of your background stamps. 

Unfortunately, this background stamp/ kit is no longer available. I am using it purely as an example.  This project was part of an IG hop last summer. Since I love it so much, I'd like to share more here in the blog.

 PK-Chocolate Flowers (Stamp + Die+ Stencil)

 Altenew Project Kit: Chocolate Flowers (Stamp + Die+ Stencil) -out of stock

 Let's take a look at the stamp set (with squares)

PK-Chocolate Flowers (Stamp + Die+ Stencil) (3)

I stamped it as part of the background and then also stamp it on the back of the glitter paper. I then cut a few squares and added them to the background.

Another option is simply stamp it on a piece of cardstock and then use that is the template to cut out the designs as you see fit.

 Last tip: be sure that you have all odd numbers of your elements. I have 7 pieces of squares and 3 sets of flowers.   I hope that you find this post informative and helpful. I'd appreciate that you shop your craft supplies via HERE Thanks for stopping by!
