The lines show...

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and I can’t think of a better occasion to make some floral gift tags. Traditional Valentine’s Day gifts, like flowers, candy and homemade treats, frequently aren’t gift wrapped so adding a special tag to the gift is sure to make it extra special. Today, I’m sharing a pair of tags that I made with some of my favorite Hero Arts...

Hello there, Michelle here. Today I have a fun project to share with you creating ornaments using felt. These work great as ornaments or tags on their own but can also be added to gift card holders and cards! Since I did not want to add any stuffing to these, nor sewing, I also die cut the elements from cardstock, so that I could adhere the...

Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I'm sharing a card featuring two new dies – the Small Penguin Tag Fancy Die along with the Snow Globe Window Fancy Die. The penguin tag can be pulled out of this card and used separately! I started by using a large Blending Brush to blend Aquatic Core Ink over a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of Arctic cardstock. I concentrated the color at...

Welcome everyone! Mindy here with you today and I'm sharing some Christmas tag inspiration using the Looking Glass Ornaments and Looking Glass Snowflakes from Hero Arts.

I chose the die that would fit the...

Hello friends! I’m Debi Adams and today I am featuring a couple of my favorite die-cutting sets from the new Hero Arts Winter Catalog... Paper Layering Poinsettia, Joy Ornament Fancy Die, and Gift Card Holder Fancy Die. Although Christmas colors are traditionally red and green, I like going outside of the box so I chose pink and aqua for my palette. I have a new theme and/or color to...
