I shared two cards this weekend on the Hero Arts blog using kit items and add-on items and you can find more information on them here and here.
As you can see my first cards were pretty involved so I decided to go in a very CAS direction for today’s cards. I loved the versatility of this kit and that you can easily go from hello greetings to sympathy cards. I love kits that offer lots of options!
I started by blending soft sky ink onto a piece of white cardstock. Then I added a little summer sky ink blending to the top of the panel. I trimmed it down and adhered it to a white card base.
Next I stamped the solid cloud layer with white pigment ink. Then I stamped the second layer over it with soft sky ink. Finally I added the sea birds and the sentiment with soft granite ink.
My second card just features some simple stamping! I stamped the solid cloud layer onto white cardstock with soft sky ink and then stamped the second layer with summer sky. Without reinking I immediately stamped the layer onto the highest cloud for second generation stamping. I reinked the layer, stamped it once on scratch paper, and then stamped the cloud on the right. I love how it looks like the lighter clouds are highlighted with hints of the darker ink!
To finish the card I stamped the sea birds and sentiment again in soft granite ink. Again a very CAS card but perfect for a sympathy card.
This kit is amazing and I’m guessing it will be a sell-out for sure! Head over to Hero Arts and snag yours now!!

great ideas.. would love to win this
Beautiful and CAS sympathy cards! Love that they aren’t flashy or too arts & craftsy, if you know what I mean. Sympathy cards are not the time to look like you were just playing with your craft supplies. These are perfect!
I really liked your sympathy card you created using the new hero arts kit.
Oh my, your sky is beautiful.
Beautiful cards Jessica! I love the simple and clean designs of the sympathy cards. Perfectly fabulous and understated.
