A Reminder for March Challenge at A Blog Named Hero!

Hi friends!

I'm here to share my reminder card for the March Challenge at A Blog Named Hero. The challenge this month is a nice and easy one -create a card and mail it in March! So basically it's almost an Anything Goes challenge. :) Make sure to use Hero Arts products in your project for a chance to be our randomly chosen winner of $50 gift card to Hero Arts store! 

I made a shiny spring card to send to a friend. I used gold mirror card and scraps of pastel colored glittery card stocks from my stash in addition to basic Neenah solar white card stock. I love how this turned out! I'm using a bunch of fun Hero Arts products for die cutting:

Happy Easter Stamp and Cut XL sentiment stamp and die set

Small Flower Layering Fancy Dies from the Friendship Blooms Collection

Large Flower Layering Fancy Dies from the Friendship Blooms Collection

Swirls Confetti Dies

All of these dies are so detailed and fun that I didn't have to use any additional embellishments! I simply cut a bunch of flowers to go with my die cut and stamp sentiment, made an arrangement with them to frame the sentiment and voila, my card was done! :) Various sizes of foam dots made the card assembly very easy. 

If you haven't played along already, I'd love to see you joining us! Click HERE for all the challenge details, lots of DT inspiration and for adding your project to the gallery! Happy Crafting!

New Challenge at A Blog Named Hero!

Hi friends!

I'm here with my DT card for the March challenge at A Blog Named Hero! The challenge is now open and runs for about one month. The theme is a fun and easy one: something you'll mail in March. 

I decided to have a look at all sorts of festivities and happenings that take place in March and realized the World Book Day is celebrated on 6th of March... which was yesterday! I found some wonderful products from my Hero Arts stash to make this fairytale inspired card:

Literary Quotes Stamp Set

Fairy Window Fancy Die

Large Sprinkled Dots Stencil

Unicorn White Pigment Ink

Hero Hues Pitch Black Ink

I cut the Fairy Window die from two types of cardstock: white glitter card and red mirror card. I placed the red mirror card slightly off set behind the white glitter version and glued them together. 

My background is a bokeh-inspired and created with the Large Sprinkled Dots stencil and Hero Arts's white pigment ink that has been my go-to white pigment ink for years. You just can't beat that stuff!! 

After the background was dry I stamped the sentiment and attached the double die cut on top. I did have to cut a small portion of the die cut away to make more room for the sentiment... But I think it still works nicely! A very simple card but quite effective too with the different finishes!
