Hero Arts Global Team | Spring 2023 Catalogue Release | Blog Hop

I'm so excited to be taking part in the 2023 Spring Catalogue Release with the Hero Arts Global Team!

There's a brand new Spring 2023 Catalog Available now! 
Oh my goodness, I have four cards to share with you today - the catalog is packed full of amazing products, I couldn't make my mind up about what to make first! 

Card One - I'm Here For You
Stamp out the Wonderful Day Stamp with black ink and let dry. Ink blend through the stencils over the stamped image. Next, die cut the florals, then set them aside.
Trim a piece of pale pink card 5 inches by 3.75 inches and use a white gel pen to make dots all over then set aside. Next, trim a piece of smooth white card and cut it at an angle.
Stamp the 'I'm here for you' sentiment from the same set, and trim to size. Assemble all your elements onto a pink A2 card base. Finish the card with a little white gel pen to highlight the flowers.

Card Two - Miss You
Die cut the entire floral spray (minus the butterflies, snip them off) in a mint green card. Set aside for later. Next, stamp out the Wonderful Day Stamp with black in and let dry. Use Copic Markers instead of stencils to color in the image.
Create an A2 mint card base and then place the mint green outline that was die cut earlier. Next, gold heat emboss the, 'Miss You' directly onto the card base, bottom right.
Die cut the Copic colored florals and glue them back into place, except the large flower and petals, which you pop up with foam pads. To finish, add some detail with a white gel pen.
 
Card Three - Wishing You a Wonderful Day
Using an A2 smooth white card base, die cut the Bee Florals Window Fancy Die into the front. Next, use the Coloring Layering Stencils with inks.
 
Trim a piece a piece of tulle to make a pocket with red liner tape. Add clear sequins inside the pocket and then adhere to the inside of the card front. 
Die cut another window fancy dir and adhere to the inside of the card. This keeps the card looking clean and tidy.
Stamp out, 'wishing you a wonferful day' sentiment, trim it, and pop it up with foam pads onto the front of the card.

Card Four - Thank You For Helping Me Grow
Products
Die cut the Bee Florals Window Fancy Die into a piece of smooth white card 5.25 inches by 4 inches. Next, use the stencils with Discress Oxide inks then set them aside.

Trim a piece of vellum and adhere to the back of the panel you've just die cut and stencilled. Stamp out the sentiment, 'thank you for helping me grow' and adhere to the middle right with foam pads. 
Glue your finished panel to the front of a Lagoon A2 card base.

      Thanks so much! It did take awhile, but I put some music one and just tapped away. I am really vibing with pink at the moment, and the florals look so pretty with soft Spring colors.
