10 Cards - 1 Kit | Hero Arts Monthly Card Kit | November 2017

12/25/2017

Hello Everyone!

Anyone need any last minute gift tags?  I am someone who loves to keep the gift of Christmas giving!  I always have that last minute gift and it is always given AFTER the 25th!

And yes it is usually because I hid the gift and forget about it and find it when I clean the house!, LOL....
Picture
In the first set of cards created, I got a chance to play alot with different supplies hanging around in the room...  Layering embossing powders, 2nd and 3rd generation stamping and ink smooshing/stamping....
For the next set of cards there was alot of inspiration going on! First was a video that MFT Stamps Posted, I was literally inspired by a stencil, and finally we got inky and enjoyed every minute!
Picture
No matter how we create...  just playing around to see what our materials can do it a terrific way to get all the creativity going in our spaces...

I use to do this in my high school science class...  I think that is why the teacher just passed me from the class, he thought I was going to hurt the school in some way, LOL...

If you want to see these creations come to life?  You can watch the videos below or go to my YouTube Channel to see these and even more!

    Since about the time I spoke my first word, I’ve been an avid crafter alongside my mom and sister. You name the craft and I’ve probably made it and collected it. I simply find so much joy in working with my hands and seeing a happy customer with one of my creations. There’s nothing better! But I also love helping people become stronger and seeing them find THEIR happy through THEIR creations.​
