Heffy Friends Inspiration Blog Hop (VIDEO + GIVEAWAY!)

17 May

Good morning!  Today I’m thrilled to be hopping along with some crafty friends to celebrate the new release from Heffy Doodle!  We have lots of crafty inspiration and a fun giveaway so be sure to check out the hop info at the bottom of this post!

I have a video for my first card and you can watch the video below or over at my YouTube channel!

Hang in There by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Heffy Doodle

To start I stamped the adorable koalas from Koality Hugs and colored them with copics before die-cutting them with the coordinating dies.  I placed the Simple Sunburst stencil over a panel of light yellow cardstock and blended mustard seed and squeezed lemonade distress oxide ink over the stencil.  Then I set the ink with my heat gun.  Next I rotated the stencil slightly so that a little bit of the ink blended area was exposed and taped it in place.  Then I applied a thin layer of glitter paste over the stencil and let it dry completely!

While the panel was drying I die-cut the Hang In There words from black glitter cardstock and the outline from vellum.  I trimmed the back arm from one of the stamped koalas and tucked it snugly around the sentiment.  I also stamped a sentiment from Koality Hugs with versafine onto vellum and heat-embossed it with black embossing powder.  I trimmed that down to a thin layer.  Once the stenciled panel was totally dry I adhered it to an A2 card base and added the Hang In There sentiment with foam mounting tape.  I used vellum adhesive for the smaller sentiment and foam mounting tape for the koala on the tree.  Finally I added a little spectrum noir clear sparkle and white gel pen accents to finish the card!

Go Wild by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Heffy Doodle

For my second card I started by die-cutting the Go Wild Frame from distress heavystock cardstock.  Then I blended cracked pistachio, peacock feathers, and chipped sapphire distress oxide ink onto the panel.  Next I used the same Simple Sunburst stencil and blended mustard seed distress oxide ink over the stencil on a panel of darker yellow cardstock.  I set both panels aside to dry while I stamped and colored the images from Two by Two Safari Animals.

Once the panels were dry I stamped part of the sentiment from Wild at Heart Sentiments onto the stenciled panel and heat-embossed it with black embossing powder.  I die-cut the Go Wild sentiment from the same combination of black glitter cardstock and vellum.  I adhered the Go Wild panel to my stenciled background and tucked my sentiment and animals in and around the frame with a mix of foam mounting tape and regular adhesive.  I finished the card with a little spectrum noir clear sparkle and white gel pen accents!

And that’s it for me!  Keep hopping for lots of crafty inspiration!
