Hi friends!
It's a new month... And that means there's a new Hero Studio Subscription Release! Learn all about Hero Arts Subscription products HERE and act fast... Once they are gone, they are gone!
October Studio is all about Holidays. I've played with the Stamp and Cut of the Month, the Die Set of the Month and the Layering Stencils of the Month. Let's have a closer look!
Card 1
Reminder card for Time Out Challenges!
This mixed media card was very fun to make! I white heat embossed the ornaments on a scrap of shimmery watercolor piece that I have had lying around my desk for a long time already. I also did plenty of gold heat embossing... And the background is gold watercolor that I have been blowing around with an alcohol ink tool.
With this card I'd also like to remind you of our Pick Two challenge at Time Out! The challenge is still running for about one week and your task is simple: Pick Two (or more) prompts from the list below and use them in your project. I went with 4: Season (Christmas), Edge (the white edge), Metallic (all the gold embossing and watercolor in the background) and Spatter (yes, I love paint spatters!). I hope to see you joining us, all the challenge details can be found HERE.
Card 2
The Die set of October is so cute! I love these strings of holiday lights. The set has many variations of the string shapes so you can create your custom look easily! I used gold cardstock and Stickles glitter glue for the lights and just plain white card for the strings- I wanted to go for an almost monochrome look with a touch of gold. The bauble and sentiment come from the Stamp and Cut of the Month again.

Card 3
I hope you agree that this pink Christmas tree looks pretty amazing!! I love how it turned out. I enhanced the baubles with Copics to make them stand out more and then used the sentiments from Stamp and Cut of the Month for greetings. Love how they fit thee baubles perfectly! I've used a lot of Stickles glitter glue on top of my inking to make the tree super festive... And of course some paint spatters again!
This would also be a good card for Time Out by the way... This time I've even added "monochrome" to the mix so I'm using 5 prompts out of 6! :)

Card 4
I stenciled a traditional green tree this time... But with lots of glitter and shine! I heat embossed one layer of the layering stencil with silver embossing powder and there's again plenty of Stickles both on the tree and in the baubles. The sentiment die is something you'll receive for free if you decide to buy ALL the Studio products... And it's pretty amazing! I love the swirly font and the large size.
That's all from me today, thank you for popping by! I hope you'll check out the Hero Arts October Studio products and our challenge at Time Out. Happy Crafting!
