Some of my favorite woodblock stamps from Hero Arts over the past year have been the destination stamps. So when I saw National Parks Poetic Prints, a set of four woodblock stamps drawn in the same style, I was instantly in love! I created four small notecards so I could play with each of the […]
Good morning! Jess here with a pair of cards using the Peacock Feather stencil in a slightly unconventional way for totally different results! I’ll admit, my inspiration for these cards came purely from a desire to not have to wash embossing paste off of my stencils. My workspace isn’t near a sink and the last time […]
Happy Monday! It’s May here with an easy watercolor card featuring the French Treats stamp set. I started by drawing an oval frame using a die from the Nesting Oval Infinity Die Set on a piece of A2 size watercolor paper. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Make a Wish Birthday stamp set inside the oval […]

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know that I enjoy watercoloring these days. So I decided to share some watercolor inspiration with you for today’s project: watercoloring the white embossed images. I started by stamping the floral background image with watermark ink on a watercolor paper. Then I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder. […]
Today I have quick and easy watercolor cards to share with you all – I went out of my comfort zone to create kind of messy(?) watercolor cards. ;) I used the same watercolor technique but stamped the image with a different ink. For my first card, I stamped the Mum Flower image with black waterproof ink on the […]
Hero Arts not only has Color Layering floral stamps, but also actual dimensional layering images where each flower layer can be popped up for a raised, one-a-of kind look. Today I’m sharing an in depth look at the new Artistic Dahlia and Large Hydrangea stamps and their corresponding layering dies and showing you how to use these […]
Today I’ve got a simple and fresh card design using the awesome Thank You Messages clear stamp set. These two cards came together in about 30 minutes, which just might be a record for me! I was drawn to the “thanks” banner image, so I looked for a die to stamp it on — turns out that […]
I love the variety of inks that Hero Arts offers. It’s so fun to see the transformation of the Color Layering images. Today’s card is a good example of unexpected color combinations. Isn’t the Color Layering Hydrangea stamp set beautiful? The leaves are stamped with Lime Green Shadow Ink and then layered with Green Apple. I was surprised […]
Hello there, today I have two cards to share using Bold Prints backgrounds and the Watercolor Dot Palette for some emboss resist. I thought it would be fun to create one more masculine and one more feminine. The Watercolor Dot Palette has little dots of Daniel Smith watercolour paint added to it. I believe the […]
Good morning! Jess here to share an interactive slider card using the new Paper Layering Koi, the watercolor dot palette, and the Nesting Circle Infinity dies!
