I "dressed up" my designs with foiled backgrounds using some of my favorite Spellbinders Glimmer Plates. Crystal Lacquer and pom poms were also used to embellish these quick and easy cards.

Happy Monday and welcome to the November 2020 My Monthly Hero Blog Hop!
Today I'm sharing four woodland winter scene cards created with add ons from the November 2020 My Monthly Hero Release. I'm using eight brand new products from the release for these soft and pretty winter scene cards and sharing lots of tips and tricks throughout the video below. Let's get started!

If you love the Heroscape Collection of stamps/dies from Hero Arts, you're going to love the latest Winter Woods Heroscape Stamp Set and coordinating dies! The Rolling Hills Window is a great way to draw your eye into a scene or create a fun shaker, the Etched Winter Scene Bold Print is a fantastic wintery background on it's own or paired with other stamps and dies, the Love You Deerly images are some of the sweetest little deer ever, and the Woodland Forest Stencil is a great alternative to stamping or die cutting for background scene building!
The trees from the Winter Woods Heroscape Stamp Set were stamped on smooth white cardstock with Simon Says Stamp Beanstalk Green, Evergreen, and Midnight Green. The trees were die cut with the coordinating dies. The trees were trimmed down and adhered to the background to peek through the window.
The images were die cut with the coordinating Love You Deerly Dies. The greenery was adhered directly to the card and the deer were adhered with foam adhesive.
Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Blizzard and a scattering of star confetti were added to the sky.

Happy Wednesday, friends! I'm back with a couple of interactive snow-themed Mega Flipper cards featuring lots of Mama Elephant stamps and dies. One of the requested videos from YouTube is more Mega Flipper cards so today I thought I'd share two holiday themed mega flippers that feature the brand new Dashin' Through the Snow Stamps/Dies, Snow Much Fun Stamps/Dies, and Flurry Frame Dies as well as a bunch of previously released product to finish out the cards. These fun designs are a great way to hide a sentiment (like I'm sharing today) or to even hide a gift card.

Four scalloped panels from the Mega Flipper set were die cut from smooth white cardstock. The scallop edges from the scallop to stitching were masked off and the panels were stamped with the snowflake background as well. I love a light colored ink for this this as it instantly adds interest without overwhelming the sweet images.
The Flurry Frame Dies was die cut from smooth white cardstock and the snowflake edge was ink blended with Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Shaded Lilac, and Wilted Violet. I love the bright, happy snowflake border.
The pull tab from the Mega Flipper was die cut from Simon Says Stamp Fog and Lipstick Red Cardstock. The die cut pieces were adhered along the bottom edge of the Mega Flipper.
The following Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers were used to color the images:
Polar Bear: Gray Tint, Blendeer, Pale Pink, Peach Pink, Sugared Almond Pink, Carmine Red, Light Carmine, Orange, Pale Orange, Bright Yellow, Yellow, Light Green, Yellow Green, Turquoise Green, Green Shadow, Blue, Light Blue, Pale Violet, Light Violet, Violet

Happy Saturday! Sorry for the long absence on my blog and YouTube Channel! I promise I've been working and I've got some incredible projects coming that I can't wait to show you, including these 10 toner printed foiled card designs! My cards today all started with the Cozy Vibes Acetate Sheets included in the November 2020 Card Kit of the Month (and available for individual purchase). I wanted to foil the sheets with the Autumn Deco Foil also included in the November Kit.

Nuvo Crystal Drops in Ebony Black and Dark Walnut were added to the eyes and noses of the cute foiled critters!
THANKFUL FOR YOU CARD
The Thanks and Leaves Acetate Sheet was foiled with Autumn Deco Foil in Rose Gold.
The foiled panel was adhered over a stamped Reverse Crackle Background I had leftover from another project! I love when I can make use of the odds and ends I have lying around!
White cardstock was die cut with a Drifting Stitches Border Die and a border was adhered to the top of the acetate panel and one to the bottom. Foam adhesive was placed behind the white cardstock areas so the panel could be "popper up" over the snowflakes.
A frame for the shaker was die cut from another Honey Bee Stamps Holiday Traditions patterned paper using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Frame Die. The acetate panel was adhered to the back of the frame and then a layer of foam adhesive was placed around the back of the frame. The shaker was filled with snowflakes and then backed with the evergreen patterned paper.

This beautiful kit is perfect for creating all kinds of beautiful fall cards. The floral image from the Big Thanks Autumn Stamp Set was stamped on Desert Storm Cardstock and colored with Copic Markers! Let's get started!

Before coloring, I highly encourage that toner ink stamping just in case you mess up. That way you haven't invested a ton of time coloring a panel only to have to start over! If you do forget to do the tone stamping first and make a mistake, you could always trim the top and bottom away from the center and rework the design as to not waste the colored parts!
A Four Seasons Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad patterned paper was die cut with the Envelope Liner Die and adhered inside the flap of the envelope for a pretty inside to the envelope that matches the look and feel of the stamped and colored card.

Welcome to the Pinkfresh Studio October 2020 Slimline Stamp, Die, and Stencil Release Blog Hop!
Today I'm sharing two slimline cards using brand new stamps, dies, and stencils fro the Pinkfresh Studio October 2020 Release! This release is full of amazing slimline style stamps, dies, and even stencils! I'm using the brand new You Are My Favorite Stamp Set, coordinating die, and You Are My Favorite Stencils for my cards. The flowers were "colored" by using the layering stencils, Pinkfresh Studio inks, and blender brushes! Easy peasy! Gotta love that!
V I D E O T U T O R I A L
Watch the creation of these slimline card from start to finish below or click HERE to watch in HD:
The floral image from the You Are My Favorite Stamp Set was stamped on smooth white cardstock with black ink. This is a great card to create "assembly-line" style. You could stamp and stencil a bunch of these to create easy card fronts!
I used the Slim Diagonal Stripes Die to create my own stencil for the background.
The background was inked with a combination of Ballet Slipper and Raspberry Bliss inks.
A sentiment from the You Are My Favorite Stamp Set was stamped on vellum with clear embossing ink and heat embossed with Antique Gold Embossing Powder. The greeting was die cut with a Basic Label Frames Die. A "frame" was die cut from gold mirror cardstock using two of the dies. The frame was glued over the vellum and the entire greeting was adhered over the floral design.
The flower was adhered over the stenciled background with foam adhesive and finished with a scattering of jewels.
The You Are My Favorite Stencils were used with the following Pinkfresh Studio Inks to add color to the second stamped image:
Coral Reef
Candy Apple
Lemon Whip
Sweet Mustard
Peach Fuzz
Persimmon
Olive
The second card was finished the same as the first.
The finished size of my slimline cards measure 3 1/2" x 8 1/2".
