Yes, It Is a Holiday - National Superhero Day

-

  

Hello everyone and welcome to another "Yes, It is a Holiday" or "Yes, It's a Holiday" blog post.  

Today is National Superhero Day and I am pretty sure that we can all use a Superhero these days to make things right in the world.  Marvel employees created this day in 1995 to celebrate everyone's favorite superhero and to honor those who serve and protect while fighting evil.  

Check out all the cool info about today's holiday below.

I don't know if I have a favorite superhero but if I had to pick one...it would be Dr. Strange.  

In honor of today's holiday, I made this fast card using the Parker the Superpiggy stamp from Stamping Bella (retired) that I had in my stash.

I started by cutting the Cityscape die from Memory Box (retired) from a piece of black cardstock and the silhouette die from a piece of yellow cardstock and glued the two together.  


I cut a piece of white cardstock using a stitched rectangle die.  I really wanted to use a sunburst stencil for the background but could not for the life of me find mine.  Yes, I need to organize!  

So I grabbed the Stencil Burst stencil from The Crafter's Workshop, adhered it over the white cardstock, and, using a makeup brush, brushed on some Lemon Drop, Sweet Mango, and Powder Blue inks from Gina K. Designs.   



I stamped and colored Parker, the Superpiggy and then fussy cut him.  


I adhered the Cityscape to the bottom of the card front.  Then I adhered Parker using foam tape.  


Lastly, I stamped the sentiment, cut it out, layered it on a piece of black cardstock and adhered it to the card front.  Then I adhered the whole piece to a white card base. 



Done.  
   
I hope you can find some time to check out the cards that Debra and Lori made for today's fun holiday.  Links are below to our Instagram pages.  
  

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today.  Enjoy the rest of your day and try to be a superhero to at least 1 person today.  

Hugs from Brasil -

Introducing Bella Bulb - A Member Of Craft Hoarder's Anonymous

When I was first approached to be part of the StencilGirl/Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge blog hop, I just laughed out loud!  Me?  A craft hoarder?  Duh!  Not only have I been hoarding craft supplies for over 20 years but when I moved here to Brasil from New York City, I took it all with me.  And then I started to hoard Brasilian craft supplies. Okay, I admit it - I AM A CRAFT HOARDER!     For this blog hop, the artists had only two rules - use StencilGirl stencils and then to dig through our craft hoard and use whatever we wanted to use.  I grabbed stencils (duh) sprays, pastes, paints, makeup sponges, lots and lots of BLING, you name it.  Heck, I even grabbed my bag of keyboard letters and some fake eyelashes that were in the hoard.  Told ya, I am a craft hoarder. There is something very freeing about just using stuff from my hoard and making a piece of art.  I did not do much thinking here.  I did know what st...
