September 2024 Hero Studio Countdown to Creativity | Hero Arts

Hello Crafty friends! I am super excited to join Hero Arts today for the Countdown to the September 2024 Hero Studio (and EXTRAS)! We are celebrating this weekend with a two day countdown sharing beautiful inspiration all weekend using the Hero Studio Card Kit of the Month, as well as the Monthly Minis. I am super EXCITED for the September release and I know you are going to love it too! Today’s project is using the September Fancy Dies of the Month! So let’s get started!

I started by die cutting the mirror frame two times using Granite cardstock. I adhered them together using Precision Glue. I then added color to my die cut frame using Hero Arts sprays in: Ocean Blue and Gold, Black and Shimmer, and Blue and Shimmer. I continued to build layers using the colors. I allowed the frame to completely dry, then added Hero Wax in the color Olive. I applied the wax to sections of the mirror frame using my finger. I set the frame aside to completely dry.

Next I die cut the silhouette from the set using Pitch Black card stock. I die cut this two times, then adhered the layers together using liquid glue. I added more texture to the silhouette image by spraying the die cut with the Black and Shimmer spray. Next I die cut a rose from a new die set releasing next week using Luxe White watercolor paper. I also die cut this two times, then adhered this together with liquid glue. I colored the rose using Reactive Inks in: Thistle, Grape Slush, Green Apple and Root Beer. I darkened the edges using Core Inks in: Plum and Forever Green

Next I trimmed a piece of Deluxe Smooth White cardstock into an A2 panel and blended Reactive Inks using a blending tool. I used: Thistle, Grape Slush, and Splash Inks to create the background. I added a few water droplets, as well as a Halloween stencil to my background. I pulled color through the stencil using a baby wipe and Core Ink (Nautical). I darkened the edges of the panel using Core Inks in: Grape Juice. I completed the card using a new sentiment on Pitch Black card stock. I heat embossed the sentiment using White embossing powder.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I will be back on Tuesday with more inspiration using this month’s kit, as well as the extras! Be sure to check out the Hero Arts Blog this weekend for all the AMAZING inspiration on the 2 day Countdown!

  2. Thanks for using all these sprays and wax,, etc all new to me, to help create that misty magical mood!

  3. Great Halloween card! I’m new to all the sprays and waxes. I have a few but haven’t quite known what to do with them. After seeing how they transformed your card I thinks it’s time to break out my supplies and start playing. Thanks for the inspiration!

  5. Love the fancy die, but most of all, I love how you created so much dimension. The colors are spooky and the background softens every thing. The rose 🌹 is so cute. I think that this fancy die can be used all year round.
