Hello There Girlfriend!

This is Leslie's second card, using the "Girlfriend" woodblock stamp & "Make Your Own" cling stamp by Hero Arts.




















I love the shabby-chic feel to this card. And the color combination is so beautiful!














Thanks Leslie for spending last week Friday with me and making these beautiful samples for the store. I had so much fun! Until next time...

You're Sew Nice!

I got the opportunity to craft with Leslie last week Friday...it felt soooo good to make a card. She helped me make some samples for the store using some of the new Hero Arts stamps. She made two gorgeous cards - so shabby-chic, just her style!

The first card uses stamps from both the "Simply Handmade" and "Sew Artsy" set that are available for purchase at Pineapple Cove if you are on Oahu, or online .














I love how she stamped the spool from "Sew Artsy" and wrapped embroidery floss around it. Soo cute, I'm going to have to case this.














Great job Leslie!! I LOVE this card!!

Add a Little or ALOT of Shimmer!

I wanted to make a sympathy card for a dear friend and came up with this layout using Hero Art's cling stamp, some Shimmerz and Blingz. The card has been modified a little from the original.

I simply inked up the Hero Arts "Large Flower" cling with Staz-on Opaque in Cotton White and stamped on Bazzill Kraft cardstock. I am loving the Hero Clings!!

Instead of markers, I opted to color in the large flower with Shimmerz in Magenta and Blingz in Pixie Dust. Unlike Stickles which takes forever to dry - these were dry in a few minutes, leaving a very pearlescent shine.

If you're interested in the Shimmerz line of paints & misters, I'd love to show you a demo.

All in the Packaging

I love the decorative flap of the Hero Hues envelopes by Hero Arts. They come in a variety of colors, but sometimes you're looking for that "something special" to hold your handmade cards. Why not make your own envelopes with the Hero Arts Envelope template? You can use any DP you want to match that special card you worked so hard on.

Simply trace, cut & score. Template will make a standard A2 size envelope, with decorative flap.
















There's also a template for the envelope liner.
















Now you'll have a beautiful envelope to hold your special card.

Donut Glaze...

Happy Monday everyone...are you all rested from the Christmas Holidays, only to start preparing for New Years? Don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the new year! Quick post today to show you a sample I made using one of the new Hero Arts clear stamps called 'Have a Donut'. I was inspired by a photo I saw in the 2010 Catalog...it's filled with great samples and ideas if you haven't picked one up for yourself yet, we still have some left.

These donuts were so fun to color and glaze. We carry the clear acetate boxes in the store - they are great for packaging small gifts, or a pack of hand made cards to give as a gift. I used it to hold the donuts and wrapped a small band around which held the sentiment. Imagine receiving a box of these...mmmm.

















Thanks for visiting today...I hope to have our blog candy available soon for the new year, so check back for more sweet treats!

Hero Party Re-Cap

THANK YOU to all who was able to make it out to our Hero Arts Preview Party on Friday & Saturday. I know everyone's busy finishing up their Christmas shopping, so I appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule to stop by. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did...aren't the new stamps just too adorable?

I also wanted to send a special 'Mahalo' to Ida who stopped by to give me this beautiful lei she made. She knew I was hosting the party, and made this special lei for me to wear. Thank you so much Ida - hope you had fun at the movies afterwards!














The day was filled with Red Velvet cake (mmm..mmm good! I didn't have time to bake the cupcakes I had wanted to, so had to substitute with this instead), cookies, stamping, laughs and lots of fun. Here's some of the projects we worked on.














The first Make n' Take project was a cute little sour cream style favor box. I used the adorable fish from the Ocean's of Joy Poly Clear set, colored with markers and added a little stickles to his scales. The favor box was made with transparency paper and two strips of pattern paper. Super easy, super cute! We have the transparency paper for sale at the store in packs of 5 or 10.










Another Make 'n Take that we worked on was a simple little tag/card...here I used my Marvy Tag punch, folded the cardstock in half and punched out the tag by leaving the bottom fold in tact. Used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder to emboss one side of the tag and then stamped the owl from the Sweet Owls Sparkle Clear set. Punched the owl using my small scallop circle from Marvy and added a sentiment on the inside using the the Message Bubbles Clear set.











If you didn't get a chance to stop by for the preview party, we still have some catalogs available for sale. It's filled with great card ideas and lots of inspiration. I'll be working on more samples for the store, so I'll post some pix up as soon as they are done.

Thanks again to all who stopped by - I had a blast crafting with you. Until next time....
