You Are Amazing Frameless Shaker Card | Hero Arts MMHK April 2022 Global Team Blog Hop

Hello my friends, and happy Friday! Welcome to the Hero Arts Global Team Blog Hop. Today our design team is sharing inspiration featuring April's Hero Art Releases. If you have started to hop already you may have come from my friend Erica's Blog and you are on the right track. I will share more about the giveaway and the hop list at the end of the post.

For my project today, I created a frameless shaker card, also known as the flat/edge2edge/infinity card... a design/technique that is near and dear to my heart as I introduced it to the card-making community at Creativation 2020, and these pockets are now available from many companies. For a DIY version, which I still make, and to see where these cards all started click HERE to watch a video, as I won't go into details on how to put it all together. 

CARD RECIPE

• Stamp out the floral image using the 6" x 6" Cling Stamp from the MMHK April 2022 onto Bristol paper using Intens-ified Black Ink. 
• Blend out the background using inks to blend out the colors of the rainbow. I used Hero's Reactive ink cubes. 
• Use the Stencils from the kit to intensify areas of the floral images.
• Use Copic markers to color in the bees.
• I added liquid pixie dust to the centers of the flowers and the wings of the bees.

• Create the pocket for the shaker and fill it with all the shaker bit bling. 
• Add the finished shaker front to a card base.
• Die-cut the amazing, 3 layers of black cardstock and 1 shadow layer using silver glitter cardstock. 
• Stack and glue the black layers for the script dies, to add the finishing shine, coat with top with Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat emboss using a clear embossing powder.
• Stamp out the "you are"using Unicorn Pigment Ink and heat set it using White Detail Embossing Powder.
• Fussy cut the sentiment.
• Glue onto the shaker card front.

GIVEAWAY

To enter the giveaway make sure you leave a comment on every stop of the hop to win a $25 Gift card to Hero Arts. The deadline to leave a comment is April 26th and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts Blog on April 27th.

It's Your Day Mandala Card | Hero Arts

Hello crafty friends! Hope you are all having a wonderful week.

I finally got around to playing with the new Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit for April 2022 and Add Ons. This kit is so awesome for many occasions coming up, especially for those of us who love flowers. I definitely will share a couple of cards featuring the new kit soon, but for today's card, I am focusing on one of the Add On sets, specifically the Floral Mandala Bundle.

This card could be used for really any occasion. I love making cards like this so that I can just quickly stamp a specific greeting on the inside and make it a birthday card, a wedding card, or any other reason that it would be your day. 

CARD RECIPE

I began this card by cutting a piece of HA Plum Cardstock to A2 size. I then used 3 Distress Oxide Inks to blend out the top of the panel (see list below).

Once the ink blending was dry, I stamped out 3 of the Mandalas and the sentiment from the Floral Mandala Bundle, onto the panel using Versa Mark Ink and then heat set it using Gold Embossing Pwd. I then die-cut the 3 Mandalas using the coordinating dies. To prevent the white from showing under the die cuts I glued the ink blended panel onto another piece of Plum cardstock. I then popped the die-cut Mandalas back into place using foam to elevate each one of them.

For a touch of bling... cause I always need to add bling to my cards 😆,  I trimmed the panel down slightly and then glued it to a Gold Glitter piece of cardstock cut to A2 size. This was then glued onto a 5x7 Ivory card base. I also added some gem stickers to the Mandalas and Pearls.

Hope this pretty Mandala Card inspired you today. I love how this simple card turned out. 

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