Good morning! Jess here with a fun and different way to use the new Spider Web Window Fancy Die: as a topper for a Halloween treat bag! I started by die-cutting the Spider Web Window Fancy Die from black glitter cardstock. Then I clipped off the frame and die-cut it separately from Pitch Black Hero Hues cardstock. I scored both pieces down the center and...

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing some kinda spooky, kinda cute Halloween inspiration using some new and some old products from Hero Arts! I don't generally care for Halloween. I don't do "scary" very well, so I prefer to keep my Halloween projects cute and a little spooky with fun colors! For today's post, I've paired the new Halloween Scene Background Cling...

Good morning! Jess here with a clean and simple, easily mass-produced Halloween card featuring our Halloween Mirror stamp set! When I make CAS cards I try to stick to a more monochromatic color palette to keep it truly "simple." But I like to find a little way to make something pop and today I'm using embossing powder from Hero Arts for that unexpected pop! To...

To those of you who celebrate today - especially those with children taking part in the festivities - may you have a fun and safe Halloween! I'm popping in to share a card featuring an adorable stamp set from the September release - Luna the Halloween Cat. It was embossed in Black Sparkle powder, then trimmed by hand (it would be much easier to use...

Hi, crafty friends! It's May here with a fun Halloween card featuring a couple of Fancy Dies and the Mix and Match Pumpkins stamp set. I started by inking three shades of oranges from Ombre Butter Bar to Orange Soda ink on an A2 sized white card base. Then I stamped the sentiment and ghost images from the Mix and Match Pumpkins stamp set with...

This giant cling stamp Vine Pattern Bold Prints is very versatile. Even though it was meant to be used with sunflowers and pumpkins, I think it makes a great background for anything! For my first card, I did indeed combine it with a pumpkin. I stamped the background in Soft Brown ink on a light orange card. Then I gathered together some dies to have...

To start I blended Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxides...

Since there are never enough hours in the day, I try to make good use of my time - when I make one card, I often make two. However, I don't really like duplicating the same card multiple times. Instead, I'll reuse a card design but change some of the elements - the colors, the images and the sentiments. Today, I'm sharing a holiday card...

As my friend Alma calls it - “stupid hot!”This adorable Mix and Match Pumpkins and Ghosts set is just plain FUN! My first card shows off those happy pumpkins stamped in all of our orange ink colors (Tangerine, Pale Tomato, Just Rust and Orange Soda)....

Hello! More often than not, when using a background stamp or a stencil, I use the complete design to cover a card base. However, using only a selective part of a stencil to create a partially stenciled background can produce equally wonderful results. So today I'm sharing a pair of Halloween cards with stenciled spider web borders.

When I make Halloween cards, I am typically drawn to the “cute”. Which is really no surprise – when it comes to any stamp I’m more drawn to the cute! But I was intrigued by the sophisticated look of these birds, and had to try them out as soon as I saw them! A trio […]
