Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog | Feminine |Copic Coloring

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Hero Arts. This month's challenge theme is Feminine over on the blog Moving Along With The Times . I think we can all say this is an easy theme to use :) If you are anything like me Masculine is a hard theme to do.

 

Card Size is slightly smaller than US size 10.5 x 14cm (4 1/8 x 5 1/2) 

Feature Panel is the same size as the card base

Product List Below  

Hero Arts March 2025 Cardmaking Kit- I have linked to the subscription page as they don't seem to resale old kits. At least while typing this. They have recently revamped their kits.

 

Distress Inks

Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky

 

Paper Rose Clear Crystal Mix  

 

Copics Used

B37, B34, B32 and B41

 

Sentiment is stamped with Versafine Black Onxy Ink. 

 

I used extra cardstock from the kit to layer up the panel. I decided this was easier them adding foam to everything and it would be very solid. The cardstock I used was Cascade, Bellini and Tutu

 

  

That is all from me today. Thank you for your time.

Moving Along With The Times Challenge Blog | One or More Butterflies

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Darkroom Door. It is a new month and the Challenge for you this month is One or More Butterflies over on the Moving Along With The Times Blog

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.5 x 14cm (3 3/4 x 5 1/2) 

 

I must admit it is nice to have Darkroom Door back again. Yes, it isn't the original owner (who sadly passed away) but it is nice to see another stamp company surviving in these hard times for the craft industry. 

 

This card is fairly simple in design. I have stamped three different stamps and rotated the angle that I stamped them at. This will make it more random and natural. I added the bees to fill in gaps and for fun. They were a nice cute size.

Hero Arts Celebrate | For the Love of Everything Green

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Hero Arts

 

Do you like green? Many years ago I had a boss who would never use anything that was green. It was some ...30 odd years ago. I think it was something regarding superstition...like lucky socks for a sports player or something. I didn't get it but it didn't concern me soo I didn't care. haha I did however think of them when I made my card.

Do you have something that you can't use or must have?

Hero Arts March 2025 Kit Card | Hello | Rub On

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Hero Arts March Kit. I have been trying to play more with Kits, as a lot were used due to the house sale and all the stress with that.

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size  8.7 x 12.9cm (3 3/8 x 5 1/16) 

My entire main panel is made up of rub ons. In order to not waste the bows I cut the panel down and then estimated how make of the rub I needed for certain areas. Then those cut pieces were used in other areas.

 

The "hello" sentiment has 3 more die cut hello shapes underneath to give it a little bit of lift. I like this, I just feel it is more supported but foam dots work just fine.

Hero Arts Kit | A Play Day | Copic Coloring

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Hero Arts

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16) 

 

The kit comes with  a stripe stencil, I eyeballed the stencil to roughly have the same space in the top left corner and bottom right. If you look hard enough the bottom is slightly more but that is between just us.

 

Using a left to right motion, to avoid the stencil moving ( you could use stencil spray to prevent this but I don't always think about these things while crafting), I applied Pool and Deep Ocean, leaving Deep Ocean on the edges and Pool towards the center.

 

I have no video today as I was just crafting. Sometimes you just need to play.   

 

Product List Below 

Everything I used was out of the kit except Copics and the ink, as I mentioned I have no idea what colours came with the kit.

Hero Arts Nov 2024 Kit Revisit! | Ruff Day??

Hi All, 

Today's card is using products from Nov 2024 Hero Arts Kit- I know it is a ....little while ago but at the recent retreat I had to have another play. OH MY GOODNESS I LOVEEEE how it turned out!!

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

 

This is almost a one layer card but... it mutated.. 

 

To start I just eye-balled where I wanted the door, as it turns out it is 2 1/8 from the bottom. You could leave it attached but I released I wanted to colour my door in Copics, which bleeds thru to the back and I didn't like that so I did another base... measuring this time and trimmed off the "door" and I sponged ink onto the back and there was marks... so another light weight cardstock was added to the back to cover that. But you may be neater sponger than I and not need to do that!

 

 The Dog, Squirrel and Cat were from the Kit which includes the matching Dies. I cut two each of the animals so... again you don't see the bleeding.

 

The back was sponged with Antique Linen, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. 

 

Product List Below

Hero Arts January Kit 2025 | I know I know

Hi All, 

Today card is using products from the Hero Arts January Kit. 

I have a good reason and some of it you know. The first is the fact it gets to me late, next the sale of my house (I'm happy to say is done!) then I got sick for like 2 weeks. I am getting better even if my voice is still on holidays. It wasn't like husky it was completely GONE! I could explain what happened but who really wants to know the details!? lol

Going back to the house we have found a lovely house but we are waiting for the deposit to clear with the banks so we can make an offer, but these things apparently take ...quite a while! So we will see if we can get that one or have to find another.

 

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8) 

Feature Panel Size 9.7 x 14.1cm (3 9/16 x 5 5/16)

Unfortunately I had a flaw in my stamp set and it couldn't be replaced but they did give me a voucher, so that was good. The flawed set was a typewriter stamp with layers.
