Hi crafty friends! Thank you for joining me for the Hero Arts February 2024 release.

The Classic Kit includes:

Clear Stamp Set, 6" x 8"
17 Coordinating Dies
4 Tag Fancy Dies
6 Sheets Premium White Cardstock, 5.5" x 8.5"
Unicorn Pigment Ink Cube
Rustic Twine, 3 yards

The Premium Kit includes everything in the Classic Kit + the items below, which are:

Clear Stamp Set, 3" x 4"
Imagine & Peace Fancy Dies •
Sun Stencil, 6" x 6"
Ephemera Pack, 48 pieces
White Embossing Powder, 0.5 oz

Since Valentine's Day is around the corner, I decided to use the Classic kit to make a Love Day Card. I stamped the bow onto Luxe White watercolor paper in Berry Smoothie, Taffy, and Thistle alternating colors by row. I then filled each bow with more of the coordinating reactive ink and water. Once that was dry, I used a larger watercolor brush to spread color across the entire card panel. I hit that with my heat gun and then stamped over each image using Licorice Reactive Ink.

Once that was dry, I die cut using the Rounded Rectangle Inifinty Dies. I created my tag by die cutting the tags from Dove and Pitch Black cardstock, and layering those on one another. I also stamped the "sending" with Intens-ified Black ink and die cut that. The "LOVE" is stamped using Taffy. I used embroidery floss to create the look of a gift and popped up a black stamped bow where I attached the tag.

Next, I created a sympathy card using the Classic Kit. I stamped the Lily image around the page in Sand and filled in the spaces with the butterflies from the stamp set in black ink. I cut the panel down and matted that onto Pesto cardstock. I die cut tags from both Pesto and Pitch Black cardstock, offsetting them. I then stamped my sentiment and layered them on. I added a stamped bow and clear gem to finish this off.

Do not forget to check out all of the Add-On products. I created this fun mixed media card using reactive inks and the Peace and Love Stamp Set. I'll be sharing a walk through of how I created this card soon, so stay tuned.
