I shared a card yesterday on the Hero Arts blog using two dies from the kit and you can find more information on that card here:
And here’s what I created today using more of the main kit items:
I love that gorgeous window frame die and decided to use it as a border for my blended background! I started by blending Raspberry Jam, Pale Tomato and Soft Apricot ink onto a piece of strathmore bristol smooth cardstock. Then I stamped the sentiment and branches from the kit with versamark and heat-embossed them with gold glitter embossing powder.
I die-cut the window frame die twice, once from black cardstock and once from white cardstock and trimmed off the swing. I also stamped the cute little squirrel with versafine, heat-embossed him with clear embossing powder, and die-cut him with the coordinating die. I offset the black frame and adhered it to the white frame. Then I adhered that over the blended background and added the squirrel with a little foam mounting tape. This kit is super versatile and different blended backgrounds or different sentiments can make cards for many different occasions!

Lovely and creative cards
The window frame card has such a pretty autumn feel to it. This kit seems so versatile just by changing the colors. Yours was the first card I’ve seen with these beautiful colors!
I absolutely love trees and children, so this new Hero Arts kit really speaks to my heart!! The images and sentiments and other items included in the kit are so versatile, too. Your designs are great examples of how these things can be used to make really eye-catching cards!
Beautiful card! I really like the little squirrel in the tree over the rich background!
I love trees and tree swings and swinging, so I’d love to win this Kit also!
