Hero Arts is the Hero of card making, here are some card ideas that use some of the stamp sets that gave a good base for the cards. First was the “Thinking of You Today” card. Heather just started with a fun patterned paper and went with the same color throughout. Fairly simple but makes for a nice looking tag. We were talking yesterday at how a stamp can make or break a card, with Hero Arts it really adds a nice touch. The second card was the “Birthday Wishes” card which was also monochromatic at first but we decided to add some color with the embellishments. We started both cards with the stamp and then built the cards around the little sayings.  A couple of months ago we ordered a variety of Tim Holtz distress inks that we can coordinate with most pages, cards or any other crafting project. Why give a boring store bought card when a nice hand made card can be so quick and easy?
