Hello guys and gals! I keep getting comments about the arm issue. People are telling me they are not arms, but gloves.... Yes, these are gloves and maybe that is how I should have referred to them to make it easier to understand. Most of you know what I mean though and the gloves have to be put onto something, right? Like arms.. :) So forgive me for goofing up my words, but you know what I mean!! :) I am glad that mentioning the proportion of the arms has helped some people out. I mentioned it because it appears this kit is causing a lot of frustration, so I try to be helpful. In no way was or would I criticize anyone else's work. I was just stating what I saw online, and to be mindful of the arm placement when putting your cards together. When it all comes down to it, do what you want with YOUR cards. They are YOUR creations and I am not all knowing nor claim to be. That is what is so great about this hobby is that there are so many ideas and talented people out there, and we all learn from others and find out what works for us. :)
Crazy Paper Chick I love watching your channel. I got the Hero Arts kit and was also stumped on cards to make. I love the cards you created. I was looking at the supplies used and noticed your Conroe address. I am in The Woodlands. 😊 Small world!
Well done. The one with the black dress, big hat outlined in white against the black shaker was a standout. It's one of the best from all the other card maker videos.
Great ideas. I got the kit and had no idea how to use them. Yours were prettiest of all tutorials watched. Very impressive and using minimal supplies. 👍
I love this set, but I'm hesitant to buy it. I like all the cards you created. My favorite is the pink ballet slippers with the black ribbon. I'm glad you solved the awkward arm and leg placement.
Thanks so much for using the water colour pencils as I've had some for months but have never used water colours before & was unsure about using them, not now, I can't wait lol. No.2 card is my fav.
Alicia I think this makes the 4th or 5th time I’ve watched this tutorial and I love your work more each time! You’re such a gift!! I finally got around to ordering via the affiliate links provided and can’t wait to get the sequin storage! 💞
Love your sense of humor! Thanks for sharing your card making progress. I wasn't sold on this kit and now that I've watched you video I want it...and it's sold out. Oh well, now I know better!
You have outdone yourself again with this one. All the cards are fantastic. BTW, I believe the stencil is by Heidi Swapp: it created a great background.
Amazing job!!! 👍🏻Very cute ideas and ones I will try to emulate!! (my oldest niece used to perform ballet)It is a darling kit but yeh, hard to figure out ideas! So your hard work is very much appreciated!!❤️
Awesome cards and they all turned out great. LOL prison stripes. I decided to sign up for this kit (enabler) and I wish it would hurry up and get here. The arm thing looks a bit confusing to me too, but it's a fabulous kit. I also love your long videos. I binge watch you when I'm crafting myself. You have some fabulous ideas and I don't know how you come up with them all with the kits you get every month. It's amazing! Have a great day!
I don't know how I come up with designs either, lol! I do struggle more often than not. I love longer videos as I do the same thing and have them play while I craft. :)
Great cards! Glad you like the oxides! The next on my wish list. I love that border stamp, I am forever looking for the b & w diagonal striped cardstock, that's just so awesome to be able to stamp your own!
T-rex arms! 😂 You just make me LOL. I struggle with water coloring. I have water color paper, water color markers, water color brush, and all I get is unblended blobs of coloring. You make it look so simple.
Hmmm I wish I could offer some tips with the water coloring issue you are having. I know for me I have the best luck with Canson XL or Tim Holtz Distress water color paper. Those are the only two papers I will use. I have Artist Loft brand watercolor paper and hated it. Do you have any Distress Inks? Those may be a little easier to watercolor with.
Hello!! Love your creations. RUclips suggested your video to me. I’m a new card maker now I’m gonna be on the hunt for this kit. Thanks for the inspiration, wish me luck! Lol
For someone who isn't sure if they like how some projects are going, you turned out some unique and beautiful cards. By the way, I love the tag card :)
Always look forward to your Hero Arts 10 cards 1 kit video because I only get the Hero Arts kit (and the Unity Stamp kit of the month which is just stamps) and I always get such great inspiration from your cards!! Thanks for sharing!! I actually have the "My Monthly Hero" Monday's marked on my craft room calendar I look at every day and also as an alarm on my phone so I'm sure not to miss out on an awesome kit. It's happened in the past and I'm determined it won't happen again. Think this one is one of my favorites, well maybe really close with the January Romeo & Juliet kit. Oh and just in case you might still be stumped the stencil you used on card 5 (was it?) is by Heidi Swapp. I have this stencil myself. I have a serious stencil addiction. Might be worse then my stamp addiction. 😂🤣😇
LOL, I am the same way when that first Monday rolls around. Hero Arts are one of my favorite kits! Yes, someone else said it was Heidi Swapp. I don't have that many stencils, I am very picky when it comes to those.
I love love this group of cards you made. Honestly I have gotten into cardmaking just in the last couple years and this card kit pre-dates my cardmaking purchases. I WISH I COULD BUY THIS KIT SO SO MUCH!! There is one on eBay for $100.00 ya-no!! I forgot to mention it is now July 2021. 🙃
Loved this video. I have been wondering what I could do with this kit. You solved that problem for me. As far as arms or gloves who cares? When someone as talented as you takes the time to share that talent I am not going to argue the point. Thanks.
I loved your cards! I didn't get the kit, but I need to use what I have! But, I did have to buy that Simon Says Stamp animation kit! I can't wait to see what you do with it!
You crack me up. They are all great ! I can't wait to get back home and play. Ps: thank you for saying something about the proportions issue!! lol I've been dying 😂
+Renee Moran thanks, Renee. The gloves have to fit on something though. Like arms, hehe. There is another set of arms in the kit where what I was explaining about alignment would apply as well. ☺
Cute tutu stamps. The water color pencils look pretty cool. Love the dress stamps.❤️ Beautiful card! Wow. Card #2 very pretty. Oh the ballerina slippers are just too stinking cute. I like the worn lipstick and black, so chic. Purses and shoes are my thing. Yes on the purse stamp. Very nice shaker card, so sweet. I'm really digging the pencils.what brand of embossing powder do you use? If you don't mind me asking. That touch of color really brings the last card home. Very classy. Tfs-Kristina🤗
+princessalways4eva I like Recollections white embossing powder from Michaels. I have a couple different brands in my container, but Recollections is one of my favorites.
OMGosh. You did wonderful, but I knew you would. Your last few cards you said you struggled with I love the most! Can I use your ideas? I appreciate you didn't bring too many other items in. You did great. You are so talented. I've made 1 card but I have been tied down studying.
+Francine D thank you ☺ of course you can use my ideas. That is the whole point in doing these videos is to give people ideas or to CASE my cards, so go for it! ☺☺
I only use glue dots to adhere sequins. On occasion I will use multi medium matte for smaller ones, but glue dots are my go to. They are the only adhesive for sequins that stay adhered in the mail (my experience).
I love all of your cards. That is so funny about the arms. I saw some other videos where they attached the arms to the shoulders. 😂 BTW. The Oxide inks are fabulous. Have you watched many videos using them? I've been playing with mine and I love them, especially for mixed media.
I haven't watched as many videos as I would like. I would definitely like to learn all different ways to use these inks. Heck I'm just so happy you can stamp sentiments with them and they have that chalky finish. I just love that!!
Lovely cards this month!! I want the kit or best the stamp set. I do have a question, I have noticed with your videos they are very low and sometimes hard to hear, even with my volume on max I am a bumbling idiot with filming videos. I don't even try. so please know this is a question NOT a criticism, is there a way to turn the volume up on your voice overs on your end?
+Theresa Pillow oh yes, I know some recent videos the volume is all messed up! I have fixed the problem so hopefully it won't happen again. My fancy new mic doesn't work with my fancy new computer so I'm using the computer mic and it is so loud when I playback that I was turning it down. Unfortunately it was turned too far down. My computer and phone it sounds fine. I went to my husbands computer and it was very quiet so go figure!! I will just blast myself out of the room if it mean you guys can hear lol. Thanks for letting me know though! 🙂
This is from the Hero Arts Card Kit which is sold out. In the description box you will find links to Hero Arts. Kits are released first Monday of every month and usually sell out within a week.
It just makes me sad that people buy it just to resell it at double the price, and people that really want the kit miss out. I know that is how things go, but kinda stinks!
That is surely what this seller did too, since an identical offer popped up after mine was finalized. If I knew what was good for me I would subscribe to Hero Arts monthly card kit! ;>)

I really love watching your videos-- you have such a great laugh!!
Awesome cards, you're so talented! Thank you for sharing!!!
Great ideas. I got the kit and had no idea how to use them. Yours were prettiest of all tutorials watched. Very impressive and using minimal supplies. 👍
These were great. I especially loved the faux wallpaper. Also, the tips about the arms, I would have been the one attaching at the shoulder.
I always love seeing hat you come up with for all these kits...thanks for sharing
I love this set, but I'm hesitant to buy it. I like all the cards you created. My favorite is the pink ballet slippers with the black ribbon. I'm glad you solved the awkward arm and leg placement.

thank you for your wonderful ideas, i also noticed the arms of the lady didnt connect right, thank you for showing us the perfect way! love you videos
I really enjoy your videos and cards! Thanks for keeping it real (your voice over is easy to listen to!)
oxide inks are half pigment inks though which is why they don't blend as well and stamp better than the dye based distress ink
Alicia I think this makes the 4th or 5th time I’ve watched this tutorial and I love your work more each time! You’re such a gift!! I finally got around to ordering via the affiliate links provided and can’t wait to get the sequin storage! 💞
Thank you Connie ❤️❤️
Awesome cards! For "not knowing what to do" (as you stated several times) ... you certainly did a fabulous job...! :)
Love your sense of humor! Thanks for sharing your card making progress. I wasn't sold on this kit and now that I've watched you video I want it...and it's sold out. Oh well, now I know better!
Thanks, Cecilia! :)
+Cecilia Fernandez it appears there are more kits now available!! Hurry and check it out if you still want one.
Great job! The cards look great. Thanks for sharing.
I love watching all your card makes! 🌺
your cards turned out so cute. Love your ideas. I bought this kit and am excited to play.
I love your ideas for this kit. You are one of my go to videos for card kits. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Marilyn! :)
super job love this stamp set wish it was still available love the tutu/slippers card
You have outdone yourself again with this one. All the cards are fantastic. BTW, I believe the stencil is by Heidi Swapp: it created a great background.
It am so glad i got this kit. I was afraid of it but i love the ideas i am seeing. And thank you for talking about the arms! :)
Amazing job!!! 👍🏻Very cute ideas and ones I will try to emulate!! (my oldest niece used to perform ballet)It is a darling kit but yeh, hard to figure out ideas! So your hard work is very much appreciated!!❤️
Great cards! I have the kit and didn't have any ideas for using it, even though its so cute. Thanks for providing some much needed inspiration.

this is my favorite video... love the cards.
Love card 7, the tag card. Great cards..❤️
All the cards were very pretty.
I see what you're saying about the arms. I think they are elbow gloves and not really arms. Love your cards/videos. Love these stamps too.
My fave was #9
I love your videos , your humor is awesome
Thanks, Beverley!! :)
This a really cute kit thanks for sharing .
These are great cards. Thanks for sharing!!
the arms aren't actually arms, They are gloves. these cards are cute. I didn't get this kit but I love what you did with it, as always...

I only use glue dots to adhere sequins. On occasion I will use multi medium matte for smaller ones, but glue dots are my go to. They are the only adhesive for sequins that stay adhered in the mail (my experience).
Alicia these are so cute!

Does Hero Arts ever rerelease a kit? i am sick that I missed the kit. I always love the cards you make.
+Jacqueline Klueh my guess would be no, but maybe contact Hero Arts. You never know!
Another GREAT job! I love love them all (cards) . (4/18/2017)
Beautiful cards! "Arms" on card 5 aren't arms, they're long gloves, people who are attaching at shoulders.
cute I was disappointed that you couldn't connect the arms & legs with this set. I liked your cards though
So awesome cards!
Love the cards.

Did you have any trouble with the lines on the dress stamping out? I think my stamp set is a defect :(
+Kari Lightfoot oh no! No I didn't have any issues. I would contact Hero Arts and send a picture. Too expensive to not work perfectly!
