You Are The Sweetest

 Hi friends. I am sharing a sweet card today using this cute and adorable bunny image. It's from Hero Arts January release.


1. Die cut Floral Border Fancy Die from Dove White cardstock.

2. Add Dusty Blue Core Ink and Blue Raspberry Reactive Ink to the center of the die avoiding any ink blending onto the floral border.

3. Spritz droplets of water and splatters with white acrylic paint. Add 'dots' randomly with a copic marker.

4. Stamp bunny image from Hero Arts Love Birds & Friends Stamp Set. Color with copic markers and die cut with coordinating die.

5. Adhere image on center panel with Precision Glue.


5. Stamp sentiment from the same set with Embossing Ink on Pitch Black cardstock, apply White Embossing Powder and heat set.

6. Die cut sentiment with coordinating die and adhere to the ink blended center panel.



7. Adhere floral border panel on Peony cardstock. I love how the pink cardstock peeks through the die.


Thank you for stopping by. Have a lovely day!

Hero Arts Valentines Wreath Card

 Hi friends. Welcome to my first blog post. I decided the start of this new year has been good as any to start a blog sharing my crafting process.

My card today features this beautiful valentines wreath which can really be used for any occasion. I wanted to create with a different color palette then usually used for Valentines Day. 


1. I started with stamping the Ode to Andy Warhol Bold Prints with White Unicorn Pigment Ink onto a panel using Bermuda Cardstock.

2. Die cut the panel with the postage nesting dies.

2. Stamp the images from the Valentines Wreath Stamp Set and cut out using the coordinating dies.

3. The bird from the Love Birds & Friends Stamp set was stamped on a piece of Dove White Cardstock which was inked with Orchid and Aegean Core Inks. This coloring technique is fun and quick to do and saves time. 

4. Adhered to an A2 card base. Add splatters and Teal Hero Pearls.

5. Stamp the sentiment from the Love Birds & Friends stamp set on Dove white cardstock with Intensified Black ink.

6. Ink a piece of white cardstock with  Orchid and Core Ink and stamp the larger sentiment with black intensified ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
