Hero Arts Monthly Kit

Today I am posting cards three and four from the Hero Arts March Monthly Kit.

I was reminded of the best crafting advice I ever received, while I was making card four.  The late great Christy Riopel once told me, “If you don’t like it, it just isn’t done yet.”  I can tell you that card four in its’ original 6 X 6 size was a hot mess…………….. I thought it was just plain “done” and destined for the big round file.   Just like Christy predicted though, it just “wasn’t done YET.”  When I trimmed it to a narrow panel and added a  complementary background, it was a keeper.

Hero Arts March Kit

I am loving the Monthly Hero Arts Kits.  The large stamp set, that is just one part of the kit, provides a lot of inspiration.  When you add in the dies and the add on selections that are available, the possibilities are endless.

I have a goal of making at least 10 cards in quick succession from each kit.  While I haven’t finished yet, the first two cards turned out quite well.  Take a look:

Happy St Paddy’s Day

Wait it is a new post on Maverick Muses!  I cannot believe how time is flying these days.   I have already started to think about going home to Canada, and yet, I also think I haven’t fully unpacked yet.

I always send St Patrick’s Day cards to a couple of my friends and so I thought it was a great opportunity to get a new post on the blog at the same time.

I failed to bring any St Patrick’s Day stamp sets with me and so I was limited to using the  Wooly Lucky Stamp set that I recently got from Simon Says Stamp.  It is a cute little stamp set with an Irish Llama and some punny sentiments.

Take a look:
