Hi friends. Kailash here sharing a fun shaped card featuring the lovely Folk Fox Fancy Die. I started with preparing an A2 sized card by using a Hero Hues Dove White Side Folded Card. I then die cut the Folk Fox Fancy Die from a scrap piece of paper. I used this die cut piece to trace the shape of the fox onto the card base with a pencil by placing  the die cut on the left side towards the edge on the fold. This will allow the card to open. I fussy cut along the pencil lines of the fox shape and set aside. As the Folk Fox Die Cut is so intricate and delicate I wanted a dark colored ..read more

Hello and welcome! Seeka here and today I'm sharing a collection of cards featuring the new Color Layering Folk Art Stencils set. I had so much fun switching up the colors to get three completely different vibes!

I used the following colors:  Root Beer, Pool Party, Fog, Licorice, Lemon Drop, and Grape Slush. I start with one color at a time. I smoosh the ink pad on my work surface, spritz with w ..read more

Hi friends! Lydia here with a fun and simple way to custom dye your Hero Paste that will have you obsessing over custom color combos, I promise.  Hero has 57 Core Inkers for you to work with – so imagine how many unique combinations there are. Someone needs to do the math – but it is in the millions for sure.  I love to work with primaries, so for my Hero Paste experiment, I chose these reinkers: Ultra Pink, Summer Sky and Lemon Yellow.  Here's what I recommend doing as setup before you colorize your pastes. Grab your white Hero Paste (or glitter or pearl), a Hero Palette ..read more

Hi crafty friends! It's Jeannie and today, I'm sharing a colorful card with a really bold look. There's even an easy matching envelope to pair with the card.  To create this card, I started with a piece of Deluxe Smooth White cardstock along with four Reactive Ink colors: Taffy, Pool Party, Splash, and Thistle, blending them with a mix of Medium and Large Blending Brushes randomly to cover up the card panel.  Then I used the main image from the Folk Art stamp set to stamp directly on top of the colorful card panel using Intens-ified Black ink ..read more

Hola everyone! Thanks for stopping by! Pocono Pam here sharing a card showcasing the newly released Bird Family Fancy Dies. This charming die set features an adorable mother and baby bird duo, surrounded by blossoming flowers. For my card, I stenciled Artistic Peony onto a 4" x 5.25" Peony cardstock panel in Berry Smoothie and Taffy Reactive Inks. I then spritzed the panel with White Iridescent Shimmer Mist; matted it with Azalea cardstock and adhered it to an A2 card base.  Next, I die-cut the mother and baby birds in both Peony and Azalea cardstock. I removed some of the small det ..read more
