Hi friends!
Hero Arts released a challenge in their new Facebook group Hero Arts Collective and I couldn't wait to play along immediately! :) The challenge is simply to use your favorite Hero Arts products and post your card photo in the group before May 5th. I've been loving the dies from the Friendship Blooms collection and once again made a card with the floral dies from the collection... You'll find all of my Friendship Blooms cards by simply scrolling down for older post. Anyway -the products I used are:
I also used for the first time a big die cut Celebrate-word from It's Our Anniversary Stamp and Cut from the Let's Celebrate collection. Very fun die!
I want to share my favorite tip for arranging die cuts on a card because I know it can be overwhelming to find a beautiful layout... Or choose in between the ideas that you have. What I tend to do is that while I'm trying different layouts, I snap photos of the arrangements I come up... And then choose with the help of the photos which one I like the best. The photos will also help you with forming the arrangement when you are re-creating it. Also, for some reason -at least for me it's easier to see from the photo if the arrangement looks good or not than to just look at the card in front of me in the table! Below are two photos -one of an arrangement that I ditched and one of that I chose and re-created! What do you think of this method? I encourage you to try it!
I'd like to play along in a couple of other challenges too:
