Hero Arts | How Does Your Garden Grow? March My Monthly Hero Blog Hop + Giveaway + Video

Hero Arts | My Monthly Hero March 2017 Kit - You're My Pick Bunny Card by Yana Smakula

Hello all and thank you for stopping by today to help celebrate the launch of March My Monthly Hero Kit from Hero Arts (more about the kit and blog hop below).

I know I say this just about every other month, but March kit have completely and utterly stolen my heart. Both my Mom and my Grandma loved to keep a little garden and I think they have passed a lot of that love to me. I don’t have an actual garden to tend, but I do love plants and I always try to have some sort of greenery in our apartment and on paper!

This video is another one of those quick videos I plan to do more often on my youtube channel just briefly talking about a particular card or product I happen to like. Watch video below or on my Youtube channel:

CARDS DETAILS

Here’s the first card I made – I shared this one last Friday on Hero Arts blog and it mostly uses stamps from the main kit and just the sentiment comes from an add on stamp set. What I love most about the stamps in this kit is the ability to create various scenes.

Hero Arts | My Monthly Hero I Carrot About You Card by Yana Smakula

Like this project? Pin it!

I have one bunny digging holes in the ground and another bunny all ready to plant a carrot. And yes he is planting a full size carrot instead of a carrot seed just because he is silly and adorable like that.

Here’s another card I made using stamps from the kit and also a few add on pieces. I used a woodblock Basket of Apples stamp, colored it using Copics and added another bunny trying to plant full grown apples. I used a “You’re my pick” sentiment and also stamped You’re Some Bunny Special at the bottom of my card and added another smaller bunny to the left.

To create this card I used a frame from the Egg-Cellent stamp set, after stamping it in the center of my white panel I masked it and stamped a mint pattern around it using one of the images from Fresh Herbs set. I also added a beet image from the kit and finished this card by stamping “Every Beet Of My Heart“.

  1. I enjoyed seeing your video with your cards and card sample layouts. Thanks for sharing your kit inspiration!

  2. Yana, you created a great video to showcase so many ways to use this kit and add ons. I truly enjoyed the way you used the produce and such to create the small tuck pieces in the first card and possibilities for the fireplace scene. I could say so much more but I’ll end here with thanks so much!

  3. These are absolutely adorable! I just subscribed to your blog and on youtube. Cant wait to catch up on your stuff because I love what I see for sure!

  4. Fantastic cards.

  5. This kit is indeed a sweet one. Your cards are lovely, and it was fun to see your ideas on how to use some of the different elements from this launch. TFS.

  6. Oh my! The basket of apples just pops from the page, and the “planting” bunnies are having great fun. Love the vibrant greens to offset the “beet” card, too! Beautiful colors!

  7. Love your work with this set! It’s got your name all over it ! The beet card is fabulous! Love the background you created!

  8. Love your cards. Can’t wait to get my kit. I think I’m going to go back and order some more of the add ons.

  9. Your cards are always so great! I especially love the way you create your own patterned backgrounds!
