Hello Gorgeous Swallowtail Butterfly

Hello Gorgeous Plaid Butterfly wm.jpg

Hi there, it’s Angie here with a super quick and fun card for you!  I bought some plaid paper recently and have had a lot of fun playing with it!  I cut the Hero Arts Swallowtail Fancy Butterfly die out of the plaid and cut a few curved stitched edges from it too.  I stamped the sentiment in Hero Arts black ink from the Hero Arts Hello Gorgeous set heat embossed in Hero Arts clear embossing powder.   I added some Nuvo white drops on the back of the butterfly.

Here’s a list of the supplies I used:

Swallowtail Butterfly with Ombre Spring Brights

I had so much fun making this card using a new Hero Arts Ink Ombre Spring Brights on kraft card stock.   I swiped it down a piece, then die cut the Swallowtail Butterfly and also used it to stamp the flowers and leaves from the Let Love Grow stamp set.   I also used a little white ink for accents, black ink and some circle dies to frame the sentiment which is also from that same step set.  I finished it off with some diamond gems on the butterfly.  Here’s a list of the supplies I used:

Hero Arts Swallowtail Butterfly with Asian Flower Stencil

Hi there, I’m here at a2z today with a card for our Anything Goes Challenge!  Hope you can join in the fun and be eligible to win a $25 gift card to the a2z store!  Just make sure you use one main Hero Arts product on your creation!

I made the background with Distress Crayons, water and a baby wipe, then laid the stencil over the panel and used a stencil brush to add soft pink shadow ink on top for a fun design.  I cut two butterflies and layered them and added gems, then stamped the Hero Arts sentiment in black ink.  The polka dots on the side is actually ribbon from my stash.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Vellum Swallowtail Butterfly

Hi everyone, it’s Angie here with another card for the “To Die For” challenge going on over at a2zscrapbooking!  It’s not too late to enter, but hurry!  You could win a $25 gift certificate to the a2zscrapbooking store!  Woohoo!  Just remember to use one main Hero Arts product to be eligible to win!

I took a piece of vellum that I received in the last Hero Arts kit and ran it through my Big Shot with a floral embossing folder then adhered it to my card base.  I cut one butterfly out of the card and a second one from black card stock so I could inlay the die.  I added a few gems from Hero Arts and then added a black strip with a heat embossed sentiment from an older set – Hero Arts Messages with Flourishes.

Here’s a list of the supplies I used:

Hero Arts Swallowtail Fancy Butterfly die DL133, Hero Arts Embossing Powder, Hero Arts layering paper (black), Hero Arts Snow White Layering Paper, Hero Arts Snow White Cards, Hero Arts Ultra Stamp Cleaner, I used and older sentiment set but here a link to lots of sentiments in the store:  Sentiments  I used Hero Arts gems I had but here are a lot of gems available in the store:  Gem, Pearls, etc.

Use code: Angie15 to save 15% on your purchase of $25 or more and if you don’t see what you need in the store, just request a custom order and they can get it for you!

Happy end of June and I hope you can enter the a2z “To Die For Challenge”!
