See Through Card--CASE A Hero Arts Creative Team Member Challenge!

Hello & Happy New Year!!

So glad you stopped by for my final post of 2020.  Hoping 2021 is much better for everyone!  Today I CASE'd fellow "A Blog Named Hero" Facebook Creative Team member Michelle Lupton's see-through card...

The supplies I used are linked below (afil--thank you for your support!)

Here is Michelle's original card:

This simple card starts with a pre-made Hero Arts acetate card base.

I ink-smooshed a panel of distress heavystock with distress inks.  Next I cut two Hero Arts Greenery edge diecuts on white card.  I cut a strip of the inked paper and positioned the edge diecuts underneath leaving about a 1/4" border.  After gluing together, I glued to the acetate based and trimmed excess.  

I added some silver foil pearls to accent the diecuts.  Inside the card, cut 3 rectangles the same size as the middle strip in plain white card.  Glue one to the inside front to cover up glue, etc.  Next, flip over and place another strip on the back lining up with the front strip.  

Finally, position the last white strip over the one on the back of the card and glue down.  This is where you can stamp a sentiment or write a message.

I'm off recovering from surgery and doing well.  I am hoping to get some Youtube projects uploaded for you before I return to work.  So please check there and on instagram @darbycreekdiaries!

Fingers crossed!!

Stitched Felt Ornaments-- "A Blog Named Hero's" CASE A Project!

 

Hello!

Hope all is well with you!  Here is my inspiration for the December Challenge!  The supplies and instructions are listed below.  If there is interest, I will make a video tutorial too!

I CASED Hero Arts Staff member Grace's project:

I diecut the ornament from part of a set from last year in real felt (the fake stuff doesn't work well.)  I then diecut out snowflake swirl on white, but cut it up as it was too big.  I glued it on the front of the teal panel, then added some pearls, rhinestones and glitter drops. Let dry.  

Next, I blanket stitched 3/4 of the way around, then added polyester fiber fill.  Then, continued stitching.  The others were basically made the same way, just using the poinsettia and joy dies instead.

Add a ribbon and you are done.  These would also make great gift tags with someone's name on the back as a keepsake.

Here are most of the supplies I used (some I guess have retired.):
