January My Monthly Hero release and blog hop!

The January My Monthly Hero kit is available today, and we're celebrating with a blog hop! Make sure you scroll down for information on how to win below!

For this card, I used the L O V E dies in the kit to create a mini-shaker, and I added the hearts confetti from the kit inside the shaker.

Hero Arts will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, January 15th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.

Yesterday's Craft Roulette (episode 145) had these parameters: 

Project: Diagonal Cut (my clouds are diagonal)

Colors: White Background

Element: Light(s) (a rainbow is what happens to light when it hits raindrops - I do have some Chibitronics lights, but I don't have any batteries right now!)

Rainbow piano for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a pair of cards made using the Piano Border die from Paper Rose.

I started by ink blending a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks over a panel of white cardstock. I cut it using the Piano Border die, as well as cutting a panel of black cardstock with the same die. I paper pieced the rainbow keys into the black background, the added a layered Hand Lettered Thanks die and a printed sentiment from Black and White sentiments. I then used the other piece of rainbow cardstock to make my 2nd card with the Happy Birthday layered die and some enamel dots.

How one card idea turned into 20 different cards

 Back in October, I made this card:

To make this card, I stamped and cut onto 19 different pieces of coloured cardstock. This meant that I had a lot of leftover coloured strips of cardstock. I had lots of strips left over, so I got busy!
