Hero Arts August Kit Blog Hop

Good morning my sparkly Pretty Pink Posh friends!

Heather here to share a couple cards using the brand new Hero Arts August My Monthly Hero Box – featuring some Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Droplets – such a fun addition to this kit! We are really excited to be part of their kit this month and also part of their blog hop.

Pretty Pink Posh: Hero Arts August Kit Blog Hop

This is such a unique kit – I felt like it was very fresh and different than anything else I’ve been seeing around lately – I started off by putting together a shaker card filled with those Clear Droplets.

I die cut the Fancy Frame Die Set without the matching oval die, then blending on distress ink in two shades of green. I also stamped several of the little mushrooms and fern pieces in white pigment ink and the same two distress ink colors on the bottom, and added the sparkle star stamped several times in white around the rest of the outside.

The inside of the shaker card is two shades of yellow distress ink on watercolor paper, some water flicked on, and some white paint splattered over that.

I stamped and colored the fairy, die cut with the coordinating dies, and then added the included Clear Stickles on the wings, dress, and on selected areas around the frame – the leaves, and some of the stamped images on the bottom, then filled my shaker with lots of the clear droplets!

Next up I made a more flat one layer card using some of the papers that came in the kit, and using the clear droplets as embellishments on the front of the card.

This fairy was colored to match the purple papers in the pack, and also sparkled up the dress and wings.

This time I used the frame with the matching oval die, then used the oval die on it’s own to cut the translucent woodgrain paper for the back of it. Hard to see in the photos, but you can actually see through it a little to see the pattern paper underneath.

The sentiment was heat embossed on black cardstock, and the clear droplets glue on just perfectly with a drop of Glossy Accents.

I really want this kit and I can’t wait to use them and share them with my friends!

  68. Heather you always create masterpieces, these are amazing.

  69. The first card is my favorite of your two. Really love the greens and yellow ink mixtures and of course those little specks of white ink. Great cards! Can’t wait to use these and try out your color combos. Thanks for sharing ;)

  70. You used yellow, my favorite color, on your first card. It’s so pretty and then you used green and a green that goes perfectly with the yellow. You are so good with colors. The purple card is also pretty but as you can probably tell, I love the yellow card better. Thanks for showing us your beautiful cards and for giving us a chance to win the set. I hope I win! LOL

  71. love, love and love the blended greens on this card, absolutely a fav.

  72. I love all of the cards you made for this hop. The fairy in the jar is so unique. My favorite are the little cards for your daughters lunchbox. She will just love those.

  73. How could we not like this beautiful card kit, with all the beautiful fairy flying around and sprinkling fairy dust wherever they go. Both of your cards are beautiful, the first one really pops for me. TFS

  74. What pretty cards! The colors are captivating! Thanks for sharing!

  75. I just knew I was going to see sequins on your cards (love your sequins!), what a surprise to see a shaker card with the water droplets! It’s fantastic!

  76. OMG! Another great cads! I love the yellow background color for the fairy

  77. I love, what you did with the green and yellow. I love the splatter technique along the edges of the card. I just love green and this feels like she should be a wood nymph rather than a fairy, but very magical either way!

  78. Love the yellow and green background that you created, makes it look super magically.

  79. One so bold and both with favorite colors of mine. Love the layers and the versatility of these pieces. TFS! This is one great kit!

  80. Very cute! I like color combos, the sparkly sequins, the woodsy feel. So sweet.

  81. The green and yellow background is really nice and I love the woodsy feel of the card – stunning!

  82. Beautiful card using the green and yellow!! Thanks for sharing your creativity!

  83. I love both your cards! The green shaker card is especially beautiful!

  84. The first card is striking, my fav is the purple (my fav color!) wonderful job!

  85. The front of your green card looks so pretty with the images you stamped in white over the distress ink. I’ll have to try this. The clear droplets look good on this card and add to the magic. The purple card is sweet. When you said it is a one layer card I at first thought you meant it didn’t have a back. This reminded me of a child’s valentine and I thought this design on a single piece of cardstock would make a great valentine! I’m interested in seeing the translucent woodgrain paper. I like it in the oval.

  86. I love how you sponged the backgroud frame die cut, and the farie is great!

  87. Hi Paulina, Loved, loved your green and yellow shaker card. Those colors are unusual and fab!!! Also loved your 2nd card as well. Thanks for sharing.
    Dianne K.

  88. Fantastic cards. I especially love the bright and beautiful background on the first card.

  89. The bright vibrant colors in the shaker card are truly amazing! I cant wait to recreate one for myself!
    Love the droplets inside the shaker! So clever!

  90. Both cards are great, but the yellow and green one really stands out.

  91. Oooh, I like how you used the clear droplets for the shaker bits! Also, the subtle stamped images are nice on your colorful card! The woodgrain background works great for your second card!
