The first card I’m sharing features the December kit, but I actually only use the City Cling and the clear stamp set to create the card.
To create this card I first stamped the front of an A2 top-folding card base made from Pebble cardstock in Soft Granite Shadow Ink using the the City Cling Stamp included in the kit.
Next, I stamp the City Cling again onto a scrap of Dove White cardstock in INTENS-ified Black Ink. I then copic colored some of the houses and then fussy cut them out. Next, I colored the edges of the houses with a black copic marker it give them houses a clean and polished look.

Next, I adhered the die cuts to the card front of an A2 top-folding card base made from Arctic cardstock. I then stamped and white heat-embossed a sentiment from the stamp set onto Pitch Black cardstock.

To create this card I first stamped the background scene with the kit’s included background stamp in INTENS-ified Black Ink onto Dove White cardstock. I then copic colored the scene and when I finished I trimmed it down to create a panel approximately 2 1/4″ by 3 1/2″.
Next I stamped a cat and dog using the included stamp set in INTENS-ified Black Ink. I then colored a hill for them to sit on with a black copic marker.

To create this card I first stamped the image of the children and the sled in Memento Tuxedo Black onto the front of an A2 top-folding white card base. I then created a mask for the kids out of a post-it note and then stamped the trees and the house.

Hello crafty friends!! It’s that exciting time of year, that time of year when Pinkfresh adds a whole bunch of new products to their Essentials line!! I always look forward to the Essentials releases. They are pack with so many versatile dies, dies that I know I will find myself coming back to time and time again!!
For today’s release I have created a couple of cards, both featuring some of the new Essentials dies! These two cards feature a simple technique of filling a window with smaller die cuts to create a dramatic and highly textured focal point but I used the new Essentials Shaker Heart and the Essentials Blanket Stitched Square Die Set to create the window.
To create these cards I first die cut the square frame using the first two Blanket Stitched Square dies and the heart window using the Shaker Heart die set out of white cardstock. Next I added double-sided tape to the backside of the square and heart opening. I then die cut a bunch of foliage using the Garden Wreath Die Set out of white cardstock. Next, I ink blended over the die cuts with several Pinkfresh Studio Inks (Sparkling Rose, Clementine, Lemon Whip, Key Lime, Aquamarine, Summer Shower, and Blue Jay).
When I had finished ink blending over the die cuts I then arranged them on my work surface. When I had all the die cuts in place I then removed the backing on the double-sided adhesive and stuck the frame or the panel to die cuts to pick them up. Next, I added foam adhesive to the frame and the panel and then stuck them down onto either a square or A2 card base.
With my focal point in place I then moved onto my sentiments. I die cut both sentiments (“Hello” and “Celebrate”) out of white cardstock using the Scripted Greetings Die Set. I die cut four Hello’s and two Celebrate’s and then adhered them together. Lastly, I finished my cards by adhering the sentiments onto the card fronts with liquid adhesive.

Pinkfresh will be giving away the full release on the Pinkfresh blog & YouTube channel! In addition Pinkfresh will also be giving away a total of TEN $25 gift cards along the hop. As per usual with blog hops – the winners will be picked from the comments.

Hello crafty friends!! It’s time for a new Pinkfresh Studio release!!! This release has a bit of everything, including stamps, dies, stencils and hot foil plates!!
I have two cards to share, both featuring the Scripted Greeting Dies and the Folk Garden 2 stamps, stencils and dies.
To create these cards I first stamped the outline for the foliage with the Folk Garden 2 Stamp in Tidal Pond. I then colored the flowers and leaves by ink blending over the Folk Garden 2 Layering Stencils with several Pinkfresh inks (Key Lime, Grassy Knoll, Lemon Whip, Marigold & Clementine). Once I finished ink blending I then die cut the images out using the Folk Garden 2 Die.
For my first card I die cut an A2 panel of white cardstock with Essential: Fancy Oval Frame Die. I then arrange several flowers and leaves behind the panel and frame. Once I had my foliage in the right spot, I then picked everything up with a piece of press-n-seal, flipped it over and added foam adhesive to the backside. Next, I removed the backing and then adhered the panel, frame and flowers to an A2 top-folding white card base. I then adhered several of the Peach Fuzz jewels inside the white spaces between foliage.
Next, I die cut three “Hello” out of white cardstock using the Scripted Greeting Dies, I then die cut a shadow for the sentiment out of vellum. Next, I adhered two of the “Hello” together and then adhered them to the vellum shadow. I then finished the sentiment by adhering my last “Hello” on top. Lastly, I finished my card by adhering the sentiment to the card front.
For my second card I first dry embossed the front of an A2 top-folding white card base with the Folk Garden 2 Hot Foil Plate. I then die cut three “Celebrate” outlines out of white cardstock and a shadow layer out of vellum using the Scripted Greetings Dies. I then adheres the “Celebrate” die cuts together in the say manner I assembled the “Hello”.
Next, I arranged my flowers and sentiment and then adhered them to the card front with liquid glue and foam adhesive. I then finished the card by adding some more Peach Fuzz jewels to the flowers.

Hello crafty friends!! It’s release day for Hero Arts’ new My Monthly Hero Kit!! November is here and the holiday season is upon us! With our November My Monthly Hero kit, we have everything you need to create adorable handmade tags and/or gift toppers for all of your Christmas gift-giving.
Contents:
4″ x 6″ Clear Stamp Set
13 Coordinating Fancy Dies
10 Sheets of Snow Cardstock (5.5″ x 8.5″)
1 Sheet of White Glitter Paper (5.5″ x 8.5″)
White Puff Embossing Powder (0.5 oz.)
Lacquer Pen (0.5 oz.)
Holiday Twine (1 yard)
Kit value: $70
Kit price: $34.99
My first project for today features the November My Monthly Hero Kit but instead of making gift tags I created a slimline card.
To create this card I first die cut all the Santa, reindeer, and elf components out of either Dove White or colored cardstock (Colors of Earth paper pack, Cherry, Meadow, Pitch Black, Peony & Antique Ivory). I did die cut two white mustaches and trimmed off the noses. I then adhered two of the white mustache pieces to the ivory nose/mustache die cut and then adhered the remaining two mustache pieces behind the nose to make the mustache fuller. I also trimmed off all the tag hoops from the die cuts.
I then added some shading with ink blending to the hats, the elf’s collar, holly berries, Rudolph’s nose and ears as well as the faces of the elf and Santa (Forever Green, Fruit Punch, Royal Red). When all my parts were blended I then trimmed out detail elements and adhered all the pieces together.
With my characters made I then adhered them to the front of an slimline card base (7″ x 8 1/2″; scored at 3 1/2″) with foam adhesive. Next, I stamped a sentiment from the set in INTENS-ified Black Ink onto the card front to finish my card.
To create this card I first stamped the detail layer for the Merry Christmas in INTENS-ified Black Ink onto Dove White cardstock. Next, I stamped the base layer for the Merry Christmas in Embossing & Watermark Ink and then heat embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder,
Once I finished heat setting my embossing I then ink blended over the sentiment with several Reactive Inks (Berry Smoothie, Fruit Punch, Lemon Drop, Pool Party & Blue Hawaii). Next, I die cut the sentiment out with a circle die. I then stamped a topper for my sentiment now turned ornament in INTENS-ified Black Ink. I then fussy cut the topper out and then adhered it to the top of my ornament. Next, I tied a bow out of black and white twine and adhered it to the top of my ornament.
Then with the Sun Background Stencil, I applied Hero Paste over the card front of an A2 top-folding white card base. Once the background had dried I then finished the card by adding the ornament with foam adhesive.
GIVEAWAY:

My card today features the new stamps and dies included in the kit. Instead of creating gift tags I decided to make card and used the cute Santa die cut as my focal image.
To create this card I first die cut all my parts to create my Santa out of either white or colored cardstock. I used Cherry for the hat, Cranberry for the berries, cream for the skin and Meadow for the leaves. I did cut three mustaches/nose pieces two of white cardstock and one out of cream for the nose. I then ink blended with Royal Red over the hat to add some shape.
I also ink blended over the cheeks and nose with Fruit Punch Reactive Ink. Next, I colored the eyes and berries with a copic marker. I then adhered all my die cut pieces together to create my Santa. I did trimmed the white mustache sections away from the nose and adhered them on top of and behind the cream mustache/nose die cut.
Once my Santa was complete I then stamped over a rectangle panel of Meadow cardstock with the striped pattern stamp included in the kit in Forever Green ink. I then adhered the panel onto the front of an A2 top-folding white card base. Next, I stamped a sentiment onto Santa’s hat in INTENS-ified Black Ink. I then finished the card by adhering Santa to my card front with foam adhesive.
