Hero Arts | Love, Peace & Joy Holiday Card
I created a Holiday card using a few stamps and dies from Hero Arts. I love to stamp backgrounds, so naturally I had to stamp a background for this card. I used a small wreath image from the Lia’s House set and stamped it using Fields Green ink. I mounted my stamp onto a clear block with grid lines and used that grid to help align everything and create a pattern. You can also make a grid using a pencil and a ruler if you don’t have clear blocks with grid lines. Next I stamped a heart using Royal Red ink inside some of the images to diversify this background.
Like this project? Pin it and save for later!
The Joy sentiment was first cut out using a Joy die, stamped using Pink to Red ombre ink and than heat embossed using Sparkle embossing powder. I foam mounted it onto a panel cut out of vellum using fun foam and adhesive sheets.
I also used a few red metallic dots to dress my vellum panel and adhered it onto the stamped background which was later adhered onto a light green Hero Arts card base.

November 6, 2018Thank you for your lovely card idea Yana. I just wanted to confirm something, did you cut a piece of adhesive sheet and stick it onto a piece of fun foam and then die cut the word Joy? And was it just one layer of fun foam to achieve that thickness?
Thank you,
