Welcome to the second day of the Hero Arts 2012 Catalog Blog Hop featuring the Hero Hostesses! The blog lasts all week, so be sure to check out the inspiration every day. If you arrived here from Tiffany's blog, It's the Stuff I Love, then you are in the right place! If not, be sure to visit her blog first and then come back!
I am so happy to be a part of the Hero Arts new release blog hop with my Hero Hostess alumnae! I had so much fun playing with the new stamps in the Hero Arts 2012 catalog that I had to share four cards I made.
This cling stamp is perfect for making quick cards for so many occasions! I experimented with various inks and colors and every combination was lovely! The reverse of this stamp looks like a photo engraving and provides the detail. Yes, this entire image is just one stamp!
This is a 5" x 7" card which gave me more room to showcase these wonderful masculine images! The Flying Airship image was masked when I stamped the Watch Gears image, resulting in this collage. The balloon and basket are paper-pieced. Added a touch of Copic marker to the watch images and some spirally wire to the tag.
CG421Watch Gears; G5544 Vintage Car; CL351Friends
For some reason, I think of the movie "Back to the Future" when I see this card! Love that Vintage Car! I stamped the Watch Gear image twice on this 5x7 card and added the car that was stamped, embossed and cut out from separate black cardstock. I'm ready for another masculine birthday!
Finally, back to the feminine side! In order to place the sentiment as it is, I had to cut the clear stamp apart! Hard to do with a brand new stamp set! The embossed background is a Cuttlebug folder which I think adds the right amount of texture. This will be a great set to use for thank you's and "thinking of you" cards.
