Best Friend, You Hold a Key to my Heart Card | Hero Arts

Hello dear friends, 

Today's card is part of a special hop where the community of paper crafters unites against racism. If you would like to take part in this wonderful event hop on over to Instagram. 

The goal of this hop is to continue to raise awareness about anti-racism; to stand with our BIPOC, AAPI, Palestinian, and Indigenous communities, and to encourage everyone to continue learning and to start taking action.  Injustice Anywhere is Injustice EVERYWHERE.  We are all one humanity and should find a way to work towards a more equitable world, in a way that makes sense for YOU.  Silence, inaction, and passivity are detrimental to justice.

I tried to capture the innocence of these two beautiful best friends, who have unlocked each other's hearts and love each other for their differences.

This sweet card features a few of the January My Monthly Hero Kit Add-Ons from Hero Arts. I stamped out the flower girts from Flower Girls Bundle using Intens-ified Black Ink Pad then watercolored them in using Karin Brushmarkers. Behind the girls, I ink blended a heart using a heart stencil that I made by die cutting one of the nested heart dies. Onto the heart, I then glued the chain-linked fence that I trimmed to fit the heart using the Chain Linked Fancy Die. 

For the sentiment, I combined a few from the Flower Girls Stamp set and the My Monthly Hero Kit January 2022 set and stamped them out using the Intens-ified Black Ink Pad. 

To finish I stamped out the tiniest heart lock from the Key to My Heart Bundle and glued it to the fence.

I hope to see you all over on Instagram to help spread the love and stop the hate... even if it is only one card at a time!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Ilda 🤍🤎🖤

Paws for Kindness Blog Hop + Giveaway | Best Fur Friend Cards | Studio Katia

Happy World Kindness Day friends! To celebrate this day, Studio Katia has a special Blog prepared featuring an exclusive LOVE FOR PAWS stamp set and coordinating die bundle specifically designed to celebrate World Kindness Day.

Studio Katia will donate $10 from every sale of this special stamp bundle to Pets in the Classroom because we truly believe that all children should have the opportunity to learn about the responsibilities, respect for life and being kind to one another.

If you have already started the Hop you would have arrived from the Studio Katia Blog. If you are just getting started I will have the complete list at the end of this post.

CARD DETAILS

For both my cards today I started off by creating the backgrounds using the Stencils. For this first girly one, I began by blending Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink (OI) using Studio Katia INK BLENDER BRUSHES  and then adding a deeper red to the single hearts on the panel using Barn Door OI.

Next, I die cut the panel using both the DARLING RIBBON AND FRAMES DIES to cut out the frame and then the SHAKER HEART die to cut out the window for the shaker. I then glued a piece of ACETATE to the back of the panel.

On a scrap piece of red cardstock, I stamped the Best Friends sentiment. I then added some MAJESTIC FUSION sequins to the center of the stamped greeting area and then closed up the shaker and attached it to an A2 card base. I finished the front by adding the cutest image from LOVE FOR PAWS stamp that I had die cut with the coordinating dies. The images were colored using Copic markers.

This next card, my boy version, was done using the exact same process as the previous card only this time created a horizontal card, I used Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Faded Jeans Distress OI and used the MINI PAWS STENCIL.

Again this cute little guy was stamped out from the LOVE FOR PAWS stamp and then die cut with the coordinating dies and colored using Copic Markers. The sentiments inside the shaker heart also come from the same set.

This time I filled the shaker area using, a mix of SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI MIX, LIGHT BLUE STARS, CRYSTAL STARS.
