Origami in Flight

Gracefu, sleek, and also modern  – yet timeless.  Origami in Japan is dated to the 6th century.  The high price of paper kept origami strictly to ceremonial occasions.  Aren’t we glad that we can enjoy paper in our everyday lives and celebrate and create with it!

Peaceful Flight

Party it up Umbrellas!

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue and Purple!  Yes, Rainbow gorgeousness is captured in the FUN party umbrella’s as they are tossed in the air.  This card really makes me think of FUN and frolicky, with your toes in the sand and a  tropical drink in your hand.  This Ultra FUN stamp set has so many possibilities too!  Did you see the little spigot?  I have not seen one in a stamp before, PERFECT for ice tea drinkers, especially SUN Tea!

I hope you will create your own FUN in the sun creation!

 Fun in the Sun!

Just for You!

Kimberly Wiener here!

A couple quick cards!  These card designs may look complicated, however by applying more than one stamp to the acrylic block, you can stamp a quick border!  I placed my sentiment and lined up three images on two separate blocks, stamped across the card and was ready to color!  Using a dark Navy ink, to accent I added layers of a dark navy cardstock.

I hope that you are inspired to try border stamping too!

Butterfly Cascade

Simplicity at it’s finest!  A cascade of lovely copic colored butterfly wings.  The colorful strip and underlying orange under the butterflies are a pop of color from the Kelley Purkey paper collection.  Pop up your die cut images in double sided foam tape and cascade down one side, a simple black sentiment accents them so well!  Finished off with a splash of Wink of Stella, and you have a Cinderalla moment!

I hope that you are inspired to make your own cascade of beautiful butterflies!

You’re So Lovely!

Hero Arts Digital Beach Adventure!

The Hero Arts Digital Beach Adventure Pack has so MANY possibilities!  I have only used one of the images and made a little underwater scene!  This card was very easy if you don’t mind a little “fussy” cutting.  I chose the little fish as they have such sweet smiling faces and printed about five or six thinking that once I cut them I would be able to arrange them onto the card to see what worked best.

Keep on Swimming!

Hero05

 To recreate this card, die cut a frame and trim a piece of white cardstock larger than the frame opening.  Using a sponge or mini ink blending tool, blend blue ink in light circles on the square cardstock for a “watery” background.  Adhere your frame to your inked water background and adhere to the cardstock base.  Before I glued everything together, I have added another layer by die cutting the frame again in black foam and using liquid glue to set it.  If you do not have foam, another way to have an extra dimension in the frame, is to die cut a few more layers of white cardstock and carefully layer and glue them together.   Select your images,  print, and using a  yellow-orange, ink directly on the images.  Fussy cut, and attach small squares of double-sided foam mounting tape to the backs and set aside.  Select a sentiment and white emboss on black cardstock trimming to a slim strip that will cover the length of the frame.  Attach the sentiment strip with foam tape.  Arrange the fish and attach with the foam tape leaving space for sequin “bubbles.”  Add sequins with glossy accents.  Add stickles for sweet cheeks and shiny scales!

Hero08

Can you see the sparkle of the stickles?!!

I am VERY excited to bring you Hero Arts creations with A2Z Scrapbooking products.

Masking Flowers

 Hello!  Kimberly Wiener here, ready for a bright floral card?

Hero Arts has released several layering stamp images.  I am OVER the moon with them!!  Layering and adding colors over colors and using masking techniques gives so much more depth to your final creation.

Masking can allow you to add another layer for a more inticate design. Instead of using the layering images, I used the solid stamp images and for a layered look I masked the larger stamp when stamping the smaller blossom.

This Hero Arts called “Layering For You Flowers”  has layering flowers and leaves in different sizes so you can make a multitude of different designs.

Hero Arts Layering For You Flowers Clear Stamp Set

Hero Arts Color Layering for You Flowers CL944 Clear Stamps

These inks are SUPER bright and vivid. I really liked using them.  I used the first cube of light blue in the Coffee and Donuts set and from the second set, the bright yellow orange of the Outdoor inks.  They had excellent coverage and lovely final set colors.  As always, I would sample stamp your images before applying to your creations to ensure total coverage.  With the clear stamps, it is really tough to see irregularities before stamping.  It is extreneley rare, however it is possible to have a small air bubble in the photopolymer that pops and ruins a line in the image. (Yes, this has happened to me..so I am extra careful now.)

Fast and Easy Birthday Cards!

NOTICE: It looks like we’re having a bit of trouble with our InLinkz Link-up on our blog. It seems to have a mind of its own and disappeared from the side-bar. However, it found a home on the first day of March here. The DT are trying to put it back where it came from, but until you see it in the usual place on the top right side, you’ll be able to enter here.

 Hello!  Kimberly Wiener here, are you ready for Fast and Easy Birthday Cards?!

In January I was lucky enough to have gone to the CHA!  So many wonderous new releases and products. Of course I visited the Hero Arts Booth and made several make and takes too.  One thing I discovered is that a really great versatile stamp set can be paired with some FAB papers and they will totally compliment each other.  If you are like me, you have a tendency to fall in love with the newest designer papers.  The newest sweet papers that I saw at CHA was Pinkfresh Studio.  If you have never heard of Pinkfresh Studio, you really need to check them out as they are really sweet and perfect to pair with your favorite stamp sets.  The Hero Arts Clear Stamp Set Make a Wish is bold and stands up to any designer paper pairing.  I have paired it with two solid cardstock colors and the Happy Things designer papers from Pinkfresh Studio.

Fast and Easy with Designer Papers!

  Hello!  Kimberly Wiener here, ready for an quick and easy masculine project?

I have combined classic images from Hero Arts with the quick and easy Whisker Graphics Middy Bitty Bags and Metalics Silver Divine Twine to create a masculine gift bag and tag set.  The Hero Arts Make a Wish clear stamp set inked with the Mid-Tone Navy is simple and clean.  Add a sweet tag and the Hero Arts Stamps and Cuts Anchor for a nautical flair.
