Cover Plates, Rainbow Style

 It's time for some rainbow happiness with Cover Plates! I will admit... cover plates were a craft item I often passed up because I thought they were too pricey. But, one cover plate can work in soooo many different ways, they are now a must-have for my supply! Just visit this post to see a completely different technique using the Peacock Cover Plate shown below.

Each of these cards uses a rainbow blended background. On Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock, I blended these inks in rainbow order: Pale Tomato, Papaya, Lemon Yellow, Kiwi, Paradise, and Orchid. I used my trusty Hero Arts brushes to blend.

I then die cut the Peacock Cover Plate and glued it right on top of the rainbow background.

I love this card because... look at that black glitter cardstock!! The sparkle!! I used the Flower Pattern Cover Plate cut from the glitter paper. I also sprayed the rainbow blended cardstock with Shimmer Mist to add extra sparkle.

Happy Easter!

 Happy Easter to all who celebrate! Today I'm sharing a very springy card today using some of the Spring 2024 products from Hero Arts. It's mostly diecutting and coloring today - the only stamp is the sentiment!

To get this card started, I diecut the Floral Wreath Fancy Die from Dove White cardstock. I colored the diecut with a variety of Copic Markers. I also diecut and colored the butterflies from Butterfly Foliage Fancy Die (this set also comes with a grass die that you -need-).

I then diecut the Floral Wreath from Sand Cardstock and I inlayed the colored die into place. The sentiment is from the Spring Bunny Bundle, which was stamped with Sand Ink. I diecut the sentiment with my Compact Cutter.

The card is finished with a bit of pink enamel dots for some subtle accents. Simple and quick spring time card!

Thanks for stopping by and have a happy Easter.

Antique Bee New Letterpress and Foil Plates

 Did you know Hero Arts just released some brand new plates? They work with your hot foil machine AND your new letterpress machine! Today I'm sharing two cards created using two new plates - Antique Bee Letterpress + Foil Plate and Thank You Flowers Letterpress + Foil Plate.

Aren't they beautiful?! Every foil transfer was so clean on the Hero Arts cardstock. I used my Glimmer Hot Foil Machine with these plates.

This card uses Nautical Cardstock with a mixture of darker gold and silver foil. I foiled the bee separately, fussy cut him, and popped him in the center with foam adhesive.

The second card uses Hero Arts Deluxe White Smooth Cardstock. The foil transfer is so perfect on this paper!

I also layered the panel on some Kiwi cardstock to help it pop.
