Sneak Peek Samples

Here are a couple sample cards using Hero Arts Clear Stamp Set, CL427, Antique Flower Engravings.  I wanted to share how I created them with you.  The samples will be in the store soon.Samples, Hero Arts CL427, Epiphany Crafts Punch SST 02 Round (1)

I love this stamp set, it is so versatile.  I used the upper left image as a Poinsettia, even though its not one.  I stamped the image 3 times in basic red dye ink and cut it out.  I stamped 2 of the leaves in basic green dye ink and punched out the center of the leaf with Martha Stewart's Rose Leaf Punch.  Using the Epiphany Craft Punch SST-02, I punched 3 embellishments out of red cardstock and sat above the ribbon.

I layered the Poinsettia on Burlap, Red and White Ribbon.  Stamped 'tis the Season' from Hero Arts Clear Stamp Set below… I don't have the item #, but we do have it in stock.Hero Arts

Sample, Hero Arts CL427, MS 3 in 1 Butterfly Punch

Loving Tulips, I stamped the image 3 times using TH Scattered Straw + Mustard Seed.  Add the Mustard Seed to your stamp first, then just add a pounce or two of the Scattered Straw.  Cut out 2 of the tulip images.   then on the third image only cut out the center petal.  Now layer these with foam dots.

I layered 2 leaves together coloring with TH Markers in Peeled Paint and Shabby Shutters.  Add the Shabby Shutters to your stamps first and just add a touch of Peeled Paint here and there before you stamp.

The sentiment comes from Hero Arts CL574, Say It All Stamp Set.  The Polka Dot Embossing Folder is from Sizzix.Hero Arts CL574, Say It All

Valentine's Day Dress Form

Carrie and I have been long time fans of the Tim Holtz Sizzix dress form die. So I decided to revisit this cool die for the upcoming holiday:
I cut the dress form out of plain black cardstock and then embossed with an embossing folder it to give it some texture, then added a tulle skirt and a bit of ribbon for the sash.

The red hearts are a Hero Arts stamp that I heat embossed with black embossing powder and then just cut around the image.

This card will fit in a regular #10 business size envelope. I like that size because:
#10's are easy to find,
they require no extra postage, and they give you more room to play with!

Hero Stamps + Distress Stains

I came across this really nice video showing off one of the new stamps we got in from Hero Arts this past weekend AND how to use distress stains. The distress stains are new and we've had alot of questions on how to use them. Joy does a great job showing both products off here. Plus she has a fabulous Austrailian accent which is nice to listen to!!
