Hello friends! I'm a huge fan of tri-fold cards and today I'm super excited to share these tri-fold acetate scene cards showcasing some of my favorite new Hero Arts Color Layering Stamp Sets from the Spring Release. We will be using the brand new Color Layering Pier At the Lake and Color Layering Mountains At the Lake with the Tree Arch Fancy Die and some of my favorite Pinkfresh Studio Inks for a couple of really fun designs!

Both cards feature a top fold acetate card and top fold white card adhered together to create the cards "base". I made my own top fold acetate card base from a sheet of Lawn Fawn Acetate.
The Tree Arch Fancy Die was die cut twice from smooth white cardstock. On one of the dies, Pinkfresh Studio Olive and Gathered Twigs inks were applied with blending brushes. The inked trees image was adhered to the front of the acetate card base. The white die cut was adhered inside acetate card base to disguise the adhesive.
Cattails & Grass: Key Lime (shaded with Copic Markers in G28 & E57)
The silhouetted images were stamped with black dye ink. All images were die cut with the coordinating Color Layering Pier At the Lake and Color Layering Mountains At the Lake dies and adhered to the inked background scene as shown. *The borders were trimmed down to fit the inked rectangle (for my card 3 1/4" wide).

Background stenciling with a text stamped overlay is the perfect backdrop for the Big Ampersand and sentiments.

Happy Friday friends and welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Hey Bestie & Love You More Release Day 1 Blog Hop! Today I have a card showcase featuring lots of stamps and dies from both the Hey Bestie and Love You More Releases to share with you! SO many great products that make the most incredible cards! We are going to create three entirely different backgrounds and then add cute critter embellishments and sentiments from the Lifting Hearts Stamp Set or Pawsome Love Stamp Set to finish each design. Let's get started!

With so many great new background stamps and the incredible new Thanks On A Line Dies I decided to concentrate on building the backgrounds first and then adding cute critters next! The result is three entirely different cards all featuring cute critters!
Images from the Pawsome Love Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
Light Pink Heart: Sugared Almond Pink, Blender
Red Heart: Red
Light Red Heart: Light Carmine
Cat: Beige, Medium Beige, Pale Pink, Red, Light Carmine
The images were die cut with the Pawsome Love Stamp Set and adhered to the design as shown.
The next card background was created by stamping the Heart To Heart Background on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossing with white embossing powder. The hearts were watercolored with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush pen:
Light Pink Hearts: Sugared Almond Pink
Red: Red, Light Carmine
Mint: Turquoise Green, Green Shadow
Dark Pink: Pink, Light Pink or Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink
Once the background was completely dry, a Simon Says Stamp A2 Thin Frame Die was used to die cut a rectangle frame from the background. I die cut the frame from smooth white cardstock as well and then created an inlay background on a white top fold card base. This is my favorite way to add instant interest and framing to a background!
An image from the Pawsome Love Stamp Set was stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
Red Heart: Red
Cat: Beige, Medium Beige, Pale Pink, Red, Light Carmine
The image was die cut with the Pawsome Love Stamp Set and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.
For the scene card, I first stamped the Heart Garland Background on smooth white cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I applied Pinkfresh Studio Mint ink over the embossed background with a blending brush. Excess ink was removed from the embossed areas with a dry rag.
Next, I stamped the You Are Background over the stamped, embossed, and inked background with Pinkfresh Studio Mint ink for a subtle text pattern. Excess ink was again removed from the embossed areas with a dry rag.
Images from the Lifting Hearts Stamp Set were stamped on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with no line coloring ink and colored in with the following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:
Bunny with balloons: Platinum Brown, Gray Tint, Pale Pink, Blender, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Red, Light Carmine, Turquoise Green, Green Shadow
Mice with balloon and present: Platinum Brown, Gray Tint, Pale Pink, Blender, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Turquoise Green, Green Shadow
Light pink balloon and heart: Sugared Almond Pink, Blender

Dark pink balloon: Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink

Today I'm sharing this lovely floral sympathy card featuring eighteen of the brand new inks! The inks were used for the Lovely Blossoms images, Floral Vase, sentiments, and even the inked background! With this incredible ink release, there is a color for everything! In addition to full size ink pads, ink cubes are also available!
A soft and subtle background was created by inking Sky Blue ink in a rectangle on the background, concentrating the darkest color down near the bottom and gradually lightening towards the top of the panel.
The vase and florals were assembled and adhered to the background as shown.
A sentiment from the Floral Vase Stamp Set was stamped on smooth white cardstock with Summer Shower Ink. The greeting was die cut with the coordinating die and adhered to the card with foam adhesive. Additional greetings from the set were stamped with Licorice ink, trimmed into thin strips, and adhered to the design with foam adhesive.

PinkFresh Studio does some amazing florals and their STAMPtember exclusive, limited edition set is incredible!!! I played with my favorite Hero Arts Reactive Inks with this floral frame, using a lift technique and then coloring over the "lifted" areas with a water brush pen and more Reactive Inks for a beautiful colorful frame!

The frame from the Partial Cut Floral Frame by PinkFresh Studio was stamped and embossed on Bristol Smooth Cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder!
Hero Arts Reactive Inks in Taffy, Creamsicle, and Lemon Drop were applied over the embossed floral frame with Honey Bee Stamp Detail Blender Brushes. This gives such a beautiful, smooth blend! Once inked I spritzed the background with water from a Distress Sprayer and blotted the background dry with a dry rag. A water brush pen with water was applied to the flowers and leaves and blotted dry, lifting the ink from each image. This is going to give these areas a almost "vellum" look.
Key Lime Fizz and Green Apple Reactive Inks were pressed on a glass mat work surface and picked up with a water brush pen and used to color the leaves on the design.
Taffy and Fruit Punch Hero Hues Reactive Inks were pressed on a glass mat work surface and picked up with a water brush pen and used to color the pink flowers on the design.
Creamsicle, Fruit Punch, and Lemon Drop Hero Hues Reactive Inks were pressed on a glass mat work surface and picked up with a water brush pen and used to color the orange flowers on the design.
Pool Party and Blue Raspberry Hero Hues Reactive Inks were pressed on a glass mat work surface and picked up with a water brush pen and used to color the blue flowers on the design.
