Happy Mother's Day Shaker | Hero Arts

Hello friends and happy Thursday, 

It is with a heavy heart that I must say goodbye to the Hero Arts Global Team😔.  My life right now is just a bit crazy busy so I have had to make some tough decisions and step down from Hero Arts. I am truly blessed to have been a part of this amazing team for the past six months and am so very thankful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing Team and Company!

Don't worry I am not going anywhere, I will still continue with two DTs and occasion guest posts. I just need to lighten my load a little as I need to focus on family and work a bit more.

Alright, let's get on with this post and this beautiful shaker card for Mom. 

CARD RECIPE

• Ink blend the background on Bristol paper using a few of the inks from this My Monthly Hero Kit April 2022 (I also used the yellow from the Sunshine Palette Reactive Cubes.
• Once the background is completely dry, prep it with antistatic powder and stamp out the floral cling stamp from the kit using Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink and heat set with Clear Embossing Powder.
• Center the Mother's Day Window Die on an A2 panel of white cardstock and die-cut out.
• To the back of the panel add an acetate piece to cover the opening.
• Add foam along the edges. 
• Fill with clear sequin and shaker bits.
• Glue to ink blended background.
• Trim shaker panel.
• Attach to the card base with coordinating cardstock. 
• Finish the front of the card with flowers from the Shoes and Hat Fancy Die that have been ink blended.
• Add enamel stickers to the centers of the flowers and the hearts of the die-cut sentiment.

Oh, and have you seen this month's Kit and Add On sets?! They are so awesome!!! Kinda sad I won't get to play with them. Check them out!

Rainbow Terrific Tags | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Monday friends!

I have some colorful gift tags to share with you featuring the new Terrific Tags from Honey Bee Stamps' latest Birthday Bliss Release. 

TAG RECIPE

I had previously cut many strips of cardstock scraps, so I just had to glue them in rainbow order onto copy paper that I had lined with Tear Tape Sheets. I then used the Terrific Tag Dies to die cut the various Tags.

Next, I used Versafine Black Onyx Ink to stamp out the sentiments onto the tags using the Best Gift Ever stamp set.

To finish these tags I added some white ribbon through the holes and then tied a bow around it using black twine.

These tags will definitely stand out and grab the recipient's attention. Hopefully, they will get a kick out of the sentiments.

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

Lovely Layers Peony Miss You Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, again my crafty friends,

This has been a busy week for me both personally and crafty related. I hope you aren't tired of all the posts, but I promise it is the last blog post for this week... Monday we shall start a new week, lol!

Today's beauty is part of Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Bliss Release Instagram Hop. So if you would like to take part, hop along for a chance at winning one of two $25 Gift Cards to the Honey Bee Stamps Shop. Click 👉HERE to join the hop.

CARD RECIPE

This card started by die-cutting all the pieces for the new Lovely Layers: Peony using white cardstock. I then added colors to the layers by Inkblending different shades of purple distress Oxide inks, starting from the darkest color to the lightest. See links below. Once the ink blending was done, I then pieced it together using Foam Dots.

The Peony was then glued onto a background I created by using the Spring Leaves A2 Pierced Cover Plate then die cut the scallop border using one of the Scalloped A7 Frame Dies.

For the sentiment, I actually cheated as I had previously foiled a bunch of sentiments from a previous project. The sentiment was foiled in gold and comes from the Small Card Hot Foil Plates. I added the scalloped edge to the strip by using the same Scalloped A7 Frame Die.

For a touch of bling, I used the new Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers. I then added foam dots to the pierced panel and glued them to an Ivory 5X7 Card base.

I hope you love this card as much as I do. I will be away most of the weekend from social media as I have to attend 3 Communions, 2 Confirmations, and a Celebration of Life, (all of which I am a part of, Lord help me! Hopefully, everything runs smoothly). 

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Hopping! Click 👉HERE to join the hop, and to shop the new release Click 👉HERE!
