Hero Arts | Safari Huge Thanks Card. June My Monthly Hero Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello everyone and thanks so much for stopping by to help celebrate the launch of Hero Arts June My Monthly Hero Kit.

The safari theme of this month kit completely stole my heart. I love all things tropical and there are many companies who have tropical products, but none (that I’ve seen) have a safari theme. I was very much excited to play with the kit as well as the add ons and I made quite a few projects. I am sharing one card in this post and will share additional projects I made later this month.

CARD DETAILS

I started working on this card by stamping the new Tribal Stripes background in Butter Bar ink onto A2 top folding card base. I used my MISTI and stamped this image several images for perfect coverage. I love the design of this background and I think it’s going to be one of my most used stamps; I think it could work really well not just for tropical, but for everyday projects also.

Next, I used a tree image from the main kit and stamped it in several shades of green, I used Forever Green, Moss and Field Greens. I also stamped and die-cut several large animals – a giraffe (he is hidden amongst the trees) was stamped in Caramel; an elephant was stamped in Soft Granite and hippo was stamped first in Soft Olive and next in Charcoal for a green undertone.

I arranged all of my images on my card base and created a scene. I also heat embossed “Huge Thanks” sentiment from the main kit in white embossing powder onto black cardstock and foam mounted it onto my card.

To add a bit more black to my card I added simple bird silhouette stamping in the background above the trees.

    1. Love your safari themed card, Yana! I loved all the background add-ons for this kit. Too bad the thorn tree and grasses die is already out of stock!

    1. A huge thanks to YOU for designing such an incredible card! I feel as though I’ve been transported into the scene! Gorgeous!

    1. Love your card idea. I would love to win this kit for so many reasons, including that I live in East Africa!

    1. This card is super cute I am so in love with the elephants in the kit .

    1. Wow! That background is awesome. I appreciate you mentioning that you stamped the background with the Butter Bar ink several times, thanks to the Misti. I remember trying to get a good stamping pre-Misti and it never came out so vibrant even when turning the paper down onto the stamp. What a difference. Thanks so much.

    1. I like how you cut them out and popped them up. Gave it some great dimension.

    1. I absolutely adore elephants but the sad thing is I don’t own not one elephant stamp or die setsI really need one!

    1. Gorgeous card, I love the background, the die cuts and the birds!

    1. Love the background on the card and all of the layering.

    1. Really gorgeous Yana. Can’t wait to see what else you do with this kit. I am hearing that it has already sold out!

    1. I really love the colours you have used on your trees and animals. It gives the card a depth to it.. Thanks for sharing.

    1. What a beautiful combination of color and dimension! This set stole my heart, as did Africa when we visited a few years ago. I’m deeply saddened that this amazing kit sold out so quickly, but I’m not surprised. It would be perfect for those masculine cards that are so hard to make. Thank you so much!

    1. Hi Yana,
      HUGE THANKS for sharing such a cool card! I’m not really a safari person, but I can see the potential with this kit!TY!

    1. Beautiful card, awesome kit and the add-ons are just as fabulous too!! Love this background stamp you used!!

    1. Wow! You card is a beauty! I love that giraffe peeking through the tree tops!

    1. I am so sad to see this kit sold out already. It would be perfect to use with my Africa scrapbook and for fun cards for my grandson.

    1. Great card!! I love the way you used color in this design!

    1. I don’t think I would have used such a busy background stamp with these stamps, but it looks great! Thanks for stretching my ideas for when I get to stamp! I love this!

    1. Beautiful card. Love the colors used on this card.
