I'm Joining the DT of Beautiful Blossoms Challenge, Woot Woot!

Hi friends!

Today I have some fun news to share... I'm joining the talented design team of Beautiful Blossoms Challenge! I'm looking forward getting more use for my floral crafting stash because you believe me... I have plenty of it lol! 

Beautiful Blossoms Challenge gives you always two choices to join: either Anything Floral Goes OR you can draw inspiration from the inspiration photo provided. It's a monthly challenge running always from the 15th of every month to the 12th of the next month. I hope to see you all blogland buddies joining! 

My first DT card for the challenge does take inspiration from the photo. I love the blue and white vase on it and I knew exactly which die to use for this challenge after seeing the photo... The Regal Blooms by Spellbinders. I hadn't used it yet and this was the perfect opportunity! 

The sentiments come from February My Monthly Hero kit by Heroarts. This has been one of my favorite kits from the spring and not only for the sentiment stamp set that is super easy to combine to all kinds of projects! 

The frame die is an oldie from my stash, unfortunately the packaging is long gone so I don't know the brand. Same applies with the patterned papers lol! 

I hope to see you joining our challenge, either with your card inspired by the photo or with your anything floral goes project. There's plenty of more design team inspiration, link tool for your projects and all the challenge details available HERE. 

With my card I'd like to join:

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Make It Colorful

A Cut Above Challenge: Anything Die Cut Goes

Allsorts Challenge: Anything Goes

Just Add Ink: Dies

More Cards with My Monthly Superhero kit!

Hi friends!

I have more cards to share made with the May "Yay Day" kit from Hero Arts.  

Learn all about the My Monthly subscriptions HERE!

In this post both of my cards have been made with the Superhero kit and I love how they both turned out. Let's have a closer look!

Card 1

Sometimes you get very fun looks if you combine stamped images and die cut shapes -I love how this card turned out with the small tags and stamped, die cut and colored in birthday icons! The Superhero kit includes an alphabet die set which was very fun to play with... And the size happens to be perfect for the tags, also included in the kit!  

All stamps and dies come from the Hero Arts May Superhero Kit

With this card I'd like to join the following challenges:

Card 2 

If you want to try something different with die cutting, use only one color of cardstock! I went with an all white look here and created texture and color shade difference by bringing in white glitter card, using acetate for the balloon and adding white embellishments too.

My Monthly Hero for May is Here!

Happy May Everyone!

A new month means there's a new Hero Arts My Monthly available... Either My Monthly Hero kit for $45 ($88 value) or My Monthly Superhero kit for $75 ($155 value). 

In this post I'm sharing one card made with the standard kit and another with the superhero version and I'll be back later in May with more inspiration! 

The kit theme for May is "Yay Day", the kit includes lots of additions to your celebratory card making stash: balloon shaker dies, a gift box die, birthday images and sentiments and much more! 

Don't miss any of it, click HERE

Card 1 

In this card I've been playing with the large gift box die and the cute and scripty Happy Birthday sentiment die. I've cut the box pieces from the cardstocks included in the kit and I've then given the die cut pieces a bit more dimension with inks, markers and Wink of Stella. I've also spattered gold water color for extra shine and detail! For the background I used a die called Swirls and Confetti Die -very festive and a perfect addition to use with the kit! 

With this card I'd like to join these challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes

The Paper Funday Challenges: Anything Goes + Die Cuts

Die Cut Divas: Celebrations

Card 2 

My second card showcases the beautiful balloon shaker die and one of the cute Birthday sentiments of the Superhero kit. I was lucky to find sticky back vellum in my stash -I thought it was perfect to use as the highlights of the balloon on top of the clear acetate! 

With this card I'd like to join these challenges:

Allsorts Challenges: Anything Goes

The May kits are great value (as the kits always are!) with versatile and very detailed, fun products that go together super well. I had a blast creating these cards and I'll be back in a couple of days with more cards created with the kit. Thank you for popping by!
