Hey there Artie!! Today I am up on the Hero Arts YouTube Channel with a new video and a fun project featuring the Puzzle Fancy Die from the Spring 2021 Catalog. I made four projects for this die, but couldn’t settle on one until the fourth one. Jessica Frost-Ballas gave me the idea — SOOO grateful for teammates when I’m hitting a wall.
It’s not that I didn’t like the first three, but they didn’t have that <<je ne sais quoi>>. So I figured, I would put them up on the blog today to show everyone that sometimes, I make things I don’t adore. Also, some of the things I don’t LOVE are often LOVED by my friends. So here they are…
Card #1 — Purple Haze — List of Supplies
Steps for Creating this Card
First, I taped off a section of a card panel with Post-It tape and brushed on some Purple Galaxy Ink with a blender brush.
Next, I splattered some water on the front and dabbed it up.
Then, I took some puzzle pieces from another die cut panel and pressed them into some Grape Juice Ink.
I heat embossed them with Clear Embossing Powder to add some shine and adhered them to the front of the panel with Precision Glue.
Next, I ran the panel through the Gemini Jr with the Puzzle Fancy Die covering the right half of the panel for a partial die cut.
After that, I heat embossed a sentiment from the Handwritten Messages Stamp Set with White Detail Embossing Powder on Pitch Black Cardstock, trimmed it down and adhered it to the front.
Finally, I popped it all up on some foam tape and embellished it with some Hero Hues Clear Enamel Dots.
Card #2 — Missing the Adriatic — List of Supplies
Steps to Creating this Card
First, embossed a panel of Dove White Cardstock with the Puzzle Fancy Die using the embossing mat in the Gemini Jr.
Then, I popped it up on foam tape over a Dove Side-folded Card.
Next, I die cut the Puzzle Fancy Die out of Adriatic Cardstock and took one piece of it to pop up on the front.
After that, I heat embossed the Missing You sentiment onto some Adriatic Cardstock with White Detail Embossing Powder and fussy cut it out.
Finally, I popped it up with foam tape and added some Hero Hues Clear Enamel Dots.
Card #3 — I’m Partial to You — List of Supplies
Steps to Creating this Card
First, partially embossed a panel of Dove White Cardstock with the Puzzle Fancy Die using the embossing mat in the Gemini Jr.
Next, I stamped the sentiment on the front at an angle with Intense Black Ink.
Then, I popped it up on foam tape over a Dove Side-folded Card.
Next, I die cut the Puzzle Fancy Die out of Pitch Black Cardstock and took one piece of it to pop up on the front.
Finally, I added some Hero Hues Clear Enamel Dots.
