a2z Scrapbooking Supplies~ CAS with Hero Arts Digital Sets

Good morning crafty friends, I'm here to share with you my recent make using two Digital Sets from Hero Arts for 

In keeping with the CAS Challenge this month, I made a card using Hero Arts Brush and Splatter Digital Set and Hero Arts Say It In Pieces Digital Set. I love mixing and matching digital sets- you can stretch your stamps a lot this way!

I used the brushstrokes from the Hero Arts Brush and Splatter Digital Set and changed the colors to Purple and Green using my Photo Software. Then I layered the Heart from the same set over it.  Finished with the sentiment from the Hero Arts Say It In Pieces Digital Set. Printed it onto White cardstock and adhered it onto some red and black cardstock and finished with red enamel dots. 

 

I added some Wink of Stella to the heart for added shimmer and voila a fun and easy card that is sure to brighten someone's day!

and here is the inside with another sentiment from the

Hero Arts Say It In Pieces Digital Set:

a2z Scrapbooking Supplies~ Sew Stylish!

Hi crafty friends, I'm here with a little vintage make I made for

using digital images from  Hero Arts Make Your Own DK016 

and Hero Arts Sew Crafty DK027. I wanted to show you how to dress up your digital Images with a little distressing and some embellies from your stash. 

 

I used  images from the Hero Arts Make Your Own DK016 and Hero Arts Sew Crafty DK027 Digital sets. These sets are both jam packed with crafty goodness! So much to use and work with. 

I printed the Stylish Ladies from the Hero Arts Make Your Own DK016  set in Sepia onto white cardstock and trimmed around the image and distressed the edges using the Tim Holtz Paper Distressing Tool and then inking the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I adhered this to a piece of scrap from my stash that looked like fabric to me and distress the edges of that too. Both pieces were mounted onto Kraft cardstock cut to 4.24x5.5' and made into a top fold card. 

I then used a Chipboard Dressform I had in my stash and covered it in Gesso and then brushed on some "Scarab Beetle" Twinkling H20's which lends a vintage feel and color to it. Some Ivory Mesh and Rose Ribbon and gold pearls from my stash finish it off.

Next I printed the a sentiment to tie my theme all together from the Hero Arts Make Your Own DK016 set and mounted inked the edges with the Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I printed and cut out a spool of thread from the Hero Arts Sew Crafty DK027 set which I colored in with my Spectrum Noir Markers.

There you have it, a shabby chic card made using Hero Arts Digital Images, a little distressing and some embellies from your stash!

a2z Scrapbooking Supplies~ Thank you Wreath!

Hi crafty friends, I'm here with a little Spring Wreath I made for

In keeping with our Watercolor Challenge this month, I turned a Christmas Wreath into a Spring Thank You card!

I used CL907 Layering Wreath and used the flowers in the set to make it a Spring Wreath! The matching dies are on sale here in the shop!

I started by spritzing some Dylusions Spray in Pure Sunshine onto Mixed Media Cardstock. Once that was dry, I stamped the wreath using the green from AF324 Kelly's Outdoor Inks Set  and Hero Arts Lime Green. Then I stamped the flowers from the set using the Pink and Blue from  AF324 Kelly's Outdoor Inks Set andHero Arts Grape Juice.I finished with the bow in Hero Arts Red Royal, because what's a wreath without a bow???? hehe I added a sentiment from Hero Arts "Year Round Sentiments" (Retired). I glued the base down onto some Orange Recollections Cardstock.

There, a fun and vibrant Thank you card....you can never have too many of those. ;o)

a2z Scrapbooking ~ April Challenge "Watercoloring"

If your looking for my Two Paper Divas Make- please go here. :o)

Yay!! It's time for a new challenge over at 

and this month's challenge is WATERCOLORING!

For this challenge I used a sentiment from the Hero Arts Acts of Kindness CL911 .

This is such a fun set and the sentiments are FAB!

 I started with a 5x5 inch squared Watercolor Cardstock. I then added some color using a Artist's Loft Watercolor Palette. Nothing fancy...But I loved the effect you get when they "meld" together. :o)

Once dry, I stamped my sentiment using Hero Art's Black Dye Ink. 

Some hearts from the same set using Hero Arts Royal Red Ink and some splatter  finished the card off. Backed this onto Black Cardstock and voila! You have a quick and easy CAS card!

I sure hope you join us this fun challenge! Don't forget to use Hero Art's products in your project.
