My first card features a stand-alone die that's available in the December 2024 Hero Studio Card Kit. I was so drawn to this die that I barely looked at the rest of the kit!

Hero Arts is also releasing some beautiful ombre transfer sheets today. I used a variety of the transfer sheets to piece together the parts of the card.

I cut pieces of the transfer sheets to be just the right amount for the space I wanted to fill in. Then I rubbed the transfer onto white cardstock before running the die through my Platinum 8 Machine.

My second card today features the beautiful Hero Studio December 2024 Layering Stencil of the Month...

There are some beeeaaautiful designs in this stencil pack, and you can really mix and match the combinations to get a unique look each time. I opted for the traditional butterfly pattern in traditional Monarch butterfly colors.

I started with the first stencil layer and blended the whole thing with Unicorn White Pigment Ink over Sand Cardstock. I then placed the butterfly stencil/mask inside the first layer, and ink blended right on top using Papaya Ink. To add a bit of shading, I also blended the outside edges using Pumpkin Ink.

The card was so beautiful as is that I wanted the sentiment to stay super simple. I stamped the 'happy birthday' right across the center of the butterfly. The sentiment comes from another new release set called Floral Rainbow and Clouds.

Thanks so much for stopping by! You are going to be so impressed with all the examples the team came up with today! Remember to leave your comment for a chance at a $50 gift card.
