I would never have thought of this! Adding blended colors, coloring their bodies, and the white gel pen 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍! From pretty to stunning! WOW! I love butterflies and have soooo many dies. Now, I have ways to make them beautiful, thanks so much for sharing this!!!
Amazing card. Butterflies are my favorites and these are just glowing. I hear ya on the kids activities. Through the years my daughter was on competition drill, dance and cheerleading teams. Then much to my surprise she was the only girl on her high school football team. OMGeorge, what an adventure! Thanks Kelly
I started stamping decades ago (long before You Tube) and have hundreds of wood-mounted rubber stamps. I'm retired now, and don't have the income to purchase as much. So most often I must find a way to adapt, since I can't buy all the new stamps, dies, machines, etc. Techniques are more important to me than 'matching' cards demonstrated by all of you expert creators. Just know your work is greatly appreciated and enjoyed even though I don't have the same materials.
Not only do your cards scream Kelly they are on a totally different level. Gorgeous. I’ve learned a few tips from you that have elevated my own cards and I appreciate you.
Your cards are always outstanding. Your boyfriend's color card is over the top. Using bold colors makes your cards extra special. Great idea to create a shaker card. I love that you show us 2 different ways to use the die. You always rock 💖
Beautiful card! Such a talented artist... Not a fan of being forced to buy a kit subscription, so I don't buy much from Hero Arts, but have plenty in my stash to recreate this look. Wonderful!
Love this card…it is stunning. A tip I learned from Jennifer McGuire on ink blending die cuts is to pop the die cuts back in to the negative space and that gives you more to hold on to while you ink blend. You can put washi tape behind the negative to help hold the die cut in place while you ink blend as well.
Lovely cards. I generally avoid watching “buy this!” videos; it’s why I’ve stopped watching some creators and some companies. I also generally avoid watching card kit videos unless the thumbnail appeals. It’s partly because international postage is a killer and partly because I want to buy what I want/like, I have subscribed previously to some kits and still have some unused because they are just not my jam. However, THIS card video? I have butterflies. I have LOADS of butterfly stamps and dies. In fact, one of my earlier purchases when I returned to crafting was a big shot with extras, which included butterfly dies. Since then I’ve bought several stamp and/or die sets with butterflies. This is great. Also I pretty much watch all your videos anyway. Good job!
I think you can share whatever product you choose. I know you work for multiple companies. I do agree that butterflies work regardless. You always do an amazing job.
Please go ahead and do the MMH cards I found that I was ordering them so often that I finally subscribed lol You are THE ONE PERSON that really brings the beautiful and unique life to all the sets !!!! You made this these butterflies soooo beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for answering the gel question I had. And, as always, for the inspiration! Gorgeous coloring! I have found, since asking, that in order to be SURE I didn't pick up the underneath colors, that I not only draw the color off on another piece of paper in-between different pieces, but I also draw very lightly, especially on the pinks and reds. Those are my nemesis colors for my white gel pen, for sure! Lol It has gotten better, but I'll be watching to see if you play with it down the line... Thanks a lot Kelly! 👍💕
Stunning card! I picked up the regular kit, because as you said, everyone has butterflies. I can’t believe your son is going to be in fifth grade next year…
Aww, this card was blue-tiful! 💙 I can't tell you how many times I laughed at your confessions about not actually sending out your cards. LOL. Too funny! I'm sure many of us can relate! 🤣
I love this card and it almost made me want the kit...but then I looked at how many butterfly stamps, dies, and hotfoil plates I have and couldn't justify it. I will be trying to reproduce the second card with my things...so thanks so much for the inspiration!
Beautiful card I enjoy listening to your stories. Do you live in Cleveland? I heard you mention the cavs. I had to buy the kit. I have a problem. Haha TFS
I wanted to build my stash a couple years ago and subscribed to Hero Arts kits. Sadly I wound up putting most of them on EBay. I’m not proficient enough coloring and the stamps have small features so I didn’t use them. They are a great price for what you get. Just wasn’t for me. I really love the card. Beautiful colors.
I really appreciate what you said about the kits and feeling the pressure to buy now or you may not get it. Also, I appreciate that you give alternatives if we don't buy it how we can use what we have already. I had considered buying this kit but because I have many other kits that have been sitting only partially used, I decided against it. Thank you for your honesty and all your great advice and opinions.
Again Kelly... your cards are stunning! Wondering if you could give me some advice on the gelly roll white pens. I have numerous ones here and they all have ink in them but i just cant get them to continue writing. Id sure appreciate some good words on these things. I hate to keep buying them. What brand and what mm do you use? Am I possibly storing them improperly? Mine also dont stay white when they dry. The color under them comes thru as it dries. Thanks again Kelly for your gorgeous cards.
I feel you when you say you're not a sports person. My husband used to play softball and taking 3 toddlers and a baby to games was torture for me!!! Especially when it was in the 90's. It would be so hot!!!! I love the cards!! You always make such beautiful cards!!
Great tutorial on Detailing Die Cuts! 💕

Card is just beautiful. I love the colors and all the detail you put on the butterflies. I can hardly wait to get my kit.
Beautiful. Always love your works. Stunning.
You really do go all out, it’s so much fun to watch you!
This is so stunning 🤩

Really nice card. Love how you created the background (night sky).
Beautiful!

That night sky is so beautiful. I’m gonna try that color combo on another project that I want to do.

Kelly, how do you come up with these beautiful cards every day? I don’t know how you sleep at night. Lol. Love your work❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. Love the color combo
Stunning thank you
thanks for another great video! I also loved to watch my son play sports... he's 33 now so it's been awhile, but it was so much fun.
Ever thought of using some type of “sticky” mat to hold die pieces while ink blending? No more chasing!
Blue is my boyfriend too! Beautiful

That’s stunning Kelly ❤
This card is absolutely beautiful. The blue is stunning . The bright birthday card is beautiful. Full of happiness and sunshine colors just uplifting
Beautiful card! I do not get the Hero Kits all the time. Even if I do not end up purchasing the kit I enjoy your tips, tricks and inspiration
I think you can share whatever product you choose. I know you work for multiple companies. I do agree that butterflies work regardless. You always do an amazing job.
This is beyond beautiful! That colour combo is perfection 🤩
Please go ahead and do the MMH cards I found that I was ordering them so often that I finally subscribed lol You are THE ONE PERSON that really brings the beautiful and unique life to all the sets !!!! You made this these butterflies soooo beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful card! Love all four of the butterflies!
Thank you for answering the gel question I had. And, as always, for the inspiration! Gorgeous coloring!

I love the hero arts kits, but postage!! But I do love seeing what you do with the kits!
Gorgeous cards! Love both the night sky and the shaker! Thanks for showing your process 👍💕
Lovely card as usual! Love the butterfly wreath and especially love that you did as a night time sky!
Lovely card. Love the background, how the light pops right in the center ❤️❤️❤️
Stunning card! I picked up the regular kit, because as you said, everyone has butterflies. I can’t believe your son is going to be in fifth grade next year…
Absolutely beautiful! I love how dramatic your card is…just stunning. Definitely has the WOW factor. Thank you for sharing your ideas and techniques.
Love the color blending on butterflies along with the details you added.
Aww, this card was blue-tiful! 💙 I can't tell you how many times I laughed at your confessions about not actually sending out your cards. LOL. Too funny! I'm sure many of us can relate! 🤣
Loved the card and technique.
I love this card and it almost made me want the kit...but then I looked at how many butterfly stamps, dies, and hotfoil plates I have and couldn't justify it.
I will be trying to reproduce the second card with my things...so thanks so much for the inspiration!
Gorgeous my lady! Your cards are always so well put together.
Hi, this is a beautiful card...I would love the Hero kits but maiing & $ change is usually more than the kits to OZ...awesome kit...😍
Up until covid, postage wasn’t too bad, but now it’s FedEx and $35 us to send…so I unsubscribed!
Thanks for explaining the Hero Arts rewards and the subscriptions. Love your ink blending and your design. Beautiful!
Fabulous card! I use a grip mat for ink blending die cuts - works beautifully!
So pretty Kelly! I purchased the classic kit I didn't think that I needed the stamp.
Very pretty! I agree - most of us have butterfly stamps & dies so we can recreate something similar if we don’t have the HA kit.
Beautiful card I enjoy listening to your stories. Do you live in Cleveland? I heard you mention the cavs. I had to buy the kit. I have a problem. Haha TFS

Thank you for your honesty and all your great advice and opinions.
I agree 💯 with these appreciations! And I add an appreciation for being clear on the fact that you work for/with these companies.
I like when you are talking and you use the word "we"
Again Kelly... your cards are stunning!

So the beautiful butterfly 🦋 dies
That are not in the kit...but separate, are just cut outs, not dimensional dies?😔
I think I’m gonna call these moths.
I feel you when you say you're not a sports person. My husband used to play softball and taking 3 toddlers and a baby to games was torture for me!!! Especially when it was in the 90's. It would be so hot!!!! I love the cards!! You always make such beautiful cards!!
What a breathtaking card. I loved the ink blending with those colors. Your added touches were great, too. Thank you.
Kelly, beautiful card!
Incredible card, love it!
Gorgeous card!
Absolutely beautiful as always!
Beautiful card!
