A Blog Named Hero's Repetition Challenge (Closed--but here's one more project!)

 Hello again!

Here's a tropically inspired card repeating the Hero Arts Hibiscus Fancy Dies.  (supplies are linked below AFIL-Thank you!)  

Our "A Blog Named Hero" Monthly Challenges end on the 26th of each month, so this one is closed.  But be sure to join the August one for a chance at winning one of two Hero Arts gift cards!  Currently, please link them on our Instagram page @ablognamedhero as our website is under major reconstruction!

Today's project is stamp-free and very quick to pull together.  I had some leftover hibiscus pieces from a previous card.  I die cut the tropical background once in black and once in green, then layered offsetting the green one slightly.  I glued that piece on an A2 size green sheet, then just layered the flowers!  I built up the center one for texture.  

The sentiment is half of the Hero Arts Hello There stamp 'n cut.  I layered three black diecuts and added a little sparkle with a glitter brush pen.  To top it off I used some Trinity Stamps Bubble Bath Baubles for the flower centers and placed the panel on an A2 card base.  That's it!

Here are the supplies!  

How To Stamp With A Simple (& Cheap!) Foam Block!

 Hello!

Although I fight it when it's 90 degrees out, I guess it's time to do some Fall and Winter cards! I first learned about stamping foam blocks in the mid-90s and am using my original one today.  It works great, but there is a "new block on the block!"  All of the supplies are linked below (AFIL-Thank you!!)  

I have a brief Youtube tutorial linked below:  (I hope you'll consider subscribing!)

Here are some other backgrounds from the video using all sorts of objects:

Here is the supply list... Enjoy!

Until next time!
