05012024 Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge - Plaid & Poinsettia's Please!

Hello Caffeinated Cardmakers!

I am just breaking out some new to me supplies!

This Sizzix Die Folds into a Cafe Cup Shape and the center oval flips to decorate both sides.

Using double sided paper makes it easier to decorate. I suggest selecting a heavier weight double sided paper (this one is thin and not as sturdy), though still very lovely.

04.21.24 Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero - APRIL Challenge (REMINDER)

REMINDER --- There is still time to enter!

Welcome to another "Stay Crafty with a Blog Named Hero" Challenge!

This month's challenge theme is:

"Happy Anniversary - Or Birthday"

This challenge ends :

I have another card to show you today.

Today, I loosely mixed up some Blue Metallic Ink into some white Hero Paste.

I layered it over the Artistic Peony Stencil and once dry spritzed with some Frost Shimmer Spray.

I die cut the Cherry Blossom Cover Plate and carefully blended the Ombre Pink to Red ink over just the blossoms.

I added a little red copic in the center and over that a dot of gel white pen in the centers.

I hope you are inspired to join us!

Here are my Hero Arts Supplies:

- Artistic Peony Stencil

- Cherry Blossom Cover Plate Die

- Hero Arts Greetings Occasions Stamp Set

- Hero Arts Paste White

- Frost Shimmer Spray
