Hello friends and happy weekend!

I finally got a chance to play with the My Monthly Hero Kit March 2022 and I am absolutely in love with the cards I made! Don't worry, I will be sharing them throughout the month.

Valued at $34.99. (Contents add up to $70 if bought separately.)

Today's card features the dies included in this month's kit. I soon as I saw the dies, I knew I had to make a Pop Up using a technique Jennifer McGuire recently shared (she's so clever). This would give the card a 3-dimensional vibe and give you the feeling like you are also staring at a gorgeous piece of art at a museum.

CARD RECIPE

To begin, I actually started with the art piece. I used the Picasso Inspired Stencil with Prismacolor pencils to color in the individual openings of the stencil. Once the coloring was done I then applied a layer of Hero Paste Glitter to the top and set it aside to dry.

Next, I die cut the frame using a scrap piece of foiled gold paper. I then glue the frame to the stenciled glitter piece that I had trimmed down to fit the frame.

Using the dies from the kit, I die cut two layers of the bottom half of the images using a white and black piece of cardstock. I then snipped the pieces off that I wasn't going to use leaving only the man, the bench, and the woman. I used Copic markers to color in the images and the floor. I then glued the images to the black layer to make the pieces sturdier. 

To create the box for the pop-up, I just measured the height of the floor, which was 7/8" inches. I then scored a black piece of cardstock that was 4 1/4" wide and scored it at 7/8" then at 1 1/4", then at 2 1/8" and again at 2 1/2", I then trimmed the paper at 3 inches. I then used a bone folder to crease the scorelines and glue the box together, ensuring that the box folded flat and that it made a perfect rectangle. Once the box was made I glued the tiled area of the die-cut piece to the front of the rectangle. Once the pop-up piece had dried I then glued it to the bottom of the front of the card base so that the box would fold upward. I then added the art piece with foam tape and centered it on the wall/card front.

To finish I used a sentiment from the kit that was stamped and heat embossed using Unicorn Pigment Ink and White Detail Embossing Powder.

As you can see from this next picture the card folds nicely into an envelope.

I hope you loved your trip to the museum with me today. I'm still trying to figure out the Picasso-inspired painting I made. What do you see in it? I'm really curious. Leave me a comment if you do see something and I will reply with what I see. 


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

Hot Air Balloon Dream Card | Hero Arts | MMHK 02/22

Looking Glass Hot Air Balloons, Hot Air Balloon Dream Card , Hero Arts, Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to, My Monthly Hero Kit,February 2022,

Hello friends and happy Monday!

Have you ever taken a Hot Air Balloon ride? I haven't but it is definitely something I would love to do someday. Hopefully, I will as the sentiment says "live the life of [my]dreams"

CARD RECIPE


Today's card comes from a few of the Add On sets from this month's My Monthly Hero Kit. This Hot Air Balloon Looking Glass die set is so pretty. Once I had die cut all the layers, I colored the balloons in Rainbow colors using Copic Markers and then added some ink blending using Splash ink to the edges of the clouds. The rest is so simple, stack all the layers together and add a piece of Black glitter paper to the background. I wanted this to look like the Hot air balloons were floating in the starry night sky. How dreamy, right!?

Whaley Cool Rainbow Inspired Friendship Cards | Hero Arts | MMHK 02/22

https://shrsl.com/37kwj

Happy Friday Friends!

I hope you have all had a wonderful week. I have been busy crafting away with the My Monthly Hero Kit February 2022 from Hero Arts. This month's release is inspired by the art of the Surrealist masters and the magical imagery of dreams. Dreams can be so strange. It makes you wonder how and why sometimes you dream such weird events. Guess it is what inspired some masterpieces by many artists. Take a look at this month's kit valued at $75 if sold separately for only $34.99.
KIT INCLUDES:
• 6” x 8” Clear Stamp Set
• 15 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 2 Sheets of Black Watercolor Paper (5.5" x 8.5")
• Watercolor Dot Dream Palette (18 Dots)
• Water Flow Brush

So let's take a look at some Whaley Cool Rainbow Inspired Friendship Cards that I made using the February Add-Ons.
 
CARD RECIPES


To begin, I die-cut the whale from the Dream Accessories Fancy Dies and then used Copic Markers to color it in. 


Next, I found a background I had made a while ago using Atelier Reinkers, that I thought would make a great background for this card. If you have the Hero Arts Reactive Ink Reinkers, you could create a similar background by saturating a watercolor piece of cardstock with water and then adding the colors.


I then blended out the edge of the clouds using coordinating ink to match the background and glued the pieces together.


The greeting comes from a couple of sentiment stamps from the Dream Messages set, that was stamped out using Intens-ified Black Ink Pad.

I then embellished the card using sequins and glitter.

For this next card once again, I had pre-made the background this time using Atelier Inks. Onto the background, I then used the Swirls and Dots Bold Prints Rubber stamp to add white lines using Unicorn Pigment Ink then heat setting them with White Detail Embossing Powder.

Next, I used the Watercolor Dot Dream Palette from Daniel Smith set that is included in the My Monthly Hero Kit February 2022 to add some extra detailing to the background.

I once again die cut the whale from the Dream Accessories Fancy Dies, this time only coloring in the black of the eye.

The sentiment comes from the You Sparkle stamp set, which I stamped onto black cardstock and heat embossed in white then fussy cut.

For a touch of sparkle, I used the Sparkle Clear Lacquer Pen to add texture and shine to the dots in the design.
