Hero Arts Spring Stamp Along 2023 - it's here!!

Hey everyone - I'm attending the online Hero Arts Spring Stamp Along 2023! Last night Libby Hickson (Libby's Little Addiction) from Hero Arts hosted a welcome event with Q&A's for four of the instructors. Today we enjoyed 5 classes - here are the cards I made:

Class one - Double Eclipse Butterfly with Lydia Fiedler (Understand Blue) along with a bonus card using leftover parts!


Supplies: Paper - Neenah White & black; TH Distress Watercolor
A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set
Stamps with Dies - Hero Arts Friendly Messages Bundle
Stencil - Hero Arts Petal Burst
Other - Hero Arts Liquid Watercolors Neon Brights Chartreuse

Class two - Wisteria Trellis with Mindy Eggen (Mindy Eggen Design) - love the layers of flowers on the trellis!! Mindy was inspired by Bibi Cameron's trellis video. Of course, being a purple lover, I put my purple layer at the front - Mindy's was further back.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Stamps (with dies) - Hero Arts Wisteria Heroscape Bundle
Other - various HA and Distress inks

Class three - Bee Floral Window with Nichol Spohr. Gotta love the coordinating stencils! I've used this set before - go HERE if interested.


Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Canary & Clear Card; Neenah White
Dies - Hero Arts Bee Florals Window;
Stencils - Hero Arts Color Layering Bee Florals 
Other - Hero Arts Gold Hero Pearls & Sparkle Lacquer;
various HA and Distress inks; Versamark ink;
Taylored Expressions foam strips; white ep

Class four - White Daffodils with Daniel West (Del & Artie) - love the crisp white flowers! I used my daffodil die set before - go HERE if interested.

Supplies: Paper - Neenah White; Hero Arts Kiwi and Papaya
Dies - Hero Arts Daffodil
Stamps with Dies - Hero Arts Friendly Messages Bundle
Stencil - Hero Arts Petal Burst
Copic Markers to add color

Class five - Birthday Daffodils with Michelle Lupton (Handmade by Michelle) - gorgeous with blue background. The torn bits are popped up with foam tape for a shadow box effect.


Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Stamps - Hero Arts Friendly Messages & Burlap Bold Prints
Other - Copic Markers R11, R21, R22, Y19;
Hero Arts Moss & Deep Ocean inks; Memento Danube Blue

The blue texture was described as "taco" stamping - fold the cling stamp and randomly stamp. So I did it that way (working ahead - oops) and got a lot of straight lines of burlap. When Michelle actually demo'd, she used "won-ton" stamping, kinda folding it into a bundle. I'll try that next time.

Fun set of classes and 5 more tomorrow! Thanks for visiting & happy crafting!!
