Ethereal Meadows Release

4.18.2026

I’m so excited to be joining WOW! Embossing Powder today to celebrate the release of their brand-new designer collection: Ethereal Meadows, created by the incredible Brennan Keane!

This 4-piece embossing powder release is inspired by the soft, “quiet awakening” of the natural world—capturing the hazy glow of a spring morning and the delicate textures of a meadow in bloom. Whether you’re a mixed media artist, a cardmaker, or just love a touch of ethereal shine, this collection is a total dream to work with. To be honest, the way these powders catch the light is something you really have to see in action!

Today, I’m sharing a project using Buttercup Blossom from the collection. I hope it inspires you to get creative with these magical new powders!

💥 And yes, there’s a giveaway! Keep reading to find out how you can enter to win the entire Ethereal Meadows collection!

To celebrate this release, the WOW! Design Team and a group of incredibly talented Guest Designers have come together to showcase the versatility and beauty of Ethereal Meadows. We’re sharing a huge wave of inspiration across both Blogs and YouTube today—and we’d love for you to join us on the journey!

I mixed some of my favorite products with Buttercup Blossom to create two cheerful cards. I embossed the background with a Hero Arts Bold Print to create this bright monochromatic background. When I embossed this background I also embossed a full sheet of to die cut flowers from. These large floral dies are from Hero Arts as well. The sentiments are from Pink & Main.

The second project is a two for one card. I used the leftover flowers and created a whole new card. If I were to do this again, I would used the Buttercup Blossom on shadow layer of the sentiment. But, since this was the second *whispers* leftovers card, it’s perfect.

We’re celebrating the Ethereal Meadows release with a fabulous giveaway, and you’ve got multiple chances to win! WOW! is giving away full sets of the new collection, which includes all four of Brennan Keane’s stunning new powders: Bluebell Mist, Wisteria Wonder, Buttercup Blossoms, and Speckled Sky.

Modern Bridal Shower Card

3.18.2026

I have a fun twist on the Friends with Flair collection by Hero Arts. This collection was released on March 15 and has so many fun and unique pieces including a Jean Jacket layering stencil. A few years ago, my coworker and friend got married in Las Vegas and she wanted one of these jackets from Etsy. Of course, being the crafter I am, I said “I can make that!” and it was the cutest jacket there ever was! ❤️

For my project, I recreated the Jean jacket on paper! I used the Jean Jacket stencils with Dusty Blue and Stone Wash core ink. I used only three of the stencils to make it look like the back of a Jean jacket.

I die cut the letters MRS using the Luggage Tag alphabet dies twice and stacked them. I arranged the letters on the top part of the jacket and tried to center it as much as possible. Then I used pearls to cover the letters. I went with all one size but you could do a mix. You could even hand write a name and then add the pearls or gems to personalize.

After putting all the pearls on it needed more, I added more pearls on the shoulder area. Then I trimmed the panel down and mounted it on a Chiffon card panel. Have you seen this bridal trend? I imagine any bride would love receiving this card on their special day.

Thank you for popping in today! I hope this inspires you to create something outside the box with this collection.

March 2026 My Monthly Hero

March snuck up on me and this introduction post is a few days later than I usually post Hero Arts. But, he we go! This month’s theme is milk and cookies! One of my favorite treats.

My Monthly Hero
Includes:
• You Are Legen-Dairy Stamp & Cut
• Holy Cow Stencil
• Milk Carton Die Set
• 10 Sheets of Cardstock – 1 of each color, 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Poppy, Pomegranate, Bellini, Beeswax, Saffron, Windy, Celestial, Alabaster, Truffle, Raven)

When I saw the milk carton and small strawberry dies a flood of childhood memories came back. I remember how special the strawberry Nestle powder was as a child. If your mom brought that home from the grocery store it was like hitting the jackpot! So I had to incorporate my love of strawberry milk into a couple of cards.

The last card from the My Monthly Hero Kit used the open milk carton top and a neutral cow print background.

My Monthly Super Hero just adds to the MMH kit with a glass of milk, another punny sentiment set and a layering stencil for the milk carton.

My Monthly SUPER Hero
Includes everything in the regular MMH above, PLUS:
• Spilled Milk Stamp & Cut
• Milk & Cookies Die Set
• Milk Carton Layering Stencil Set

I ended up making so many cookies, like 10-15 of each and then made a few glasses of milk by using heavy weight vellum for the cup. I played around with simpler backgrounds for the first two projects.

For this MMSH last card I used an action wobbler on the milk carton. I love the way the wobbler adds some extra whimsy to this already fun card. The background is just a bunch of those cookies I put together.

I always appreciate you stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. Be sure to follow me on Instagram too! @pocketful_of_rosie

My Monthly Hero February 2026

2.1.2026

We are moving into flower season! The theme of this month’s kit is florals and bunnies. I did a bunch of stamping, coloring and then die cutting. I like to mass produce cards so this is the most time efficient way to create several cards with each kit. I like to make a few versions of different cards and then use the extra pieces to create multiples of those cards.

My Monthly Hero Subscription
Includes:
• Hoppy Spring Stamp & Cut
• Field of Flowers Layering Stencil Set
• Springtime Blooms Die Set
• 10 Sheets of Cardstock – 1 of each color, 5.5″ x 8.5″ (Cascade, Fern, Rainforest, Mint, Carrot, Coral, Bellini, Chiffon, Beeswax, Alabaster)

I used the layering stencil with Hero Arts core inks in Passion Flower, Peony, Dandelion, Cornflower and Green Apple. I also colored some images from the stamp & cut included in the kit. The sentiment is Happy Easter stamp & cut XL.

Assembly of the card was simple. I trimmed the stenciled panel down and added the Easter die cut near the top of the card making sure to leave space to stamp Happy. Lastly, I added the colored images.

My Monthly SUPER Hero
Includes everything in the regular MMH above, plus:
• Hoppy Spring Layering Stencil Set
• Wildflowers Stamp & Cut
• Bunny Trio Die Set
• Grass Die

I made so many of these die cut flowers. I was able to make 3 projects full of flowers. I also die cut the bunnies and grass from the Super Hero kit. Assembly was straight forward, just gluing and popping up some of the dies.

There are so many great pieces in these kits but I think my favorite is the floral dies. They are easy to put together and you don’t need to fill the card, using just a couple makes a big impact too.

As always, I appreciate you visiting my blog and shopping with my affiliate links. I will be back to share a couple more projects with these kits later this month. See you back here soon or or check out my IG @pocketful_of_rosie

My Monthly Hero January 2026

1.5.2025

Anyone else as excited as I am that Hero Art My Monthly Hero is back? I am so happy to have two kit options:

Kit will be revealed on the 1st of every month and the subscription window is open from the 1-27th. You can subscribe, switch plans, or cancel anytime. Easy Peasy! As always once a kit sells out, it is gone for good and won’t be restocked. There are some perks to being a subscriber so check out the Hero Arts website for all the details.

With all the hype of the return of My Monthly Hero, January’s My Monthly Super Hero is already sold out! But, you still have time to get the My Monthly Hero. I am sharing a few projects for the kits below.

I used images from the main kit and colored them with my new Olo markers. I die cut and arranged on a large background panel. I used the Postage Stamp infinity dies.

I used a different color palette than what came in the kit but I really like the blues and peaches together. I used Spellbinders cardstock in Chiffon, Bellini, Coral, Cascade and Celestial.

This card used the large die from the main kit. I kept it simple and made the mailbox the focal point. I used Comic Sky and a matte gold cardstock for this project.

For the My Monthly Super Hero project I did a little mass producing and made 4 of the same card-just changed up the background panel colors. I used several grey cardstocks from my stash, Spellbinders Anchor and Hero Arts Charcoal and Granite.

The card were pretty simple. I stamped the newspaper image and die cut it out. Then I use a side folding card and die cut the newspaper but did not cut the left side so the newspaper would fold. Then I adhered the stamped image to the mini card. I used the Novel Prose bold print with Charcoal ink on each of the grey backgrounds. I andhered the mini newspaper card to the background and stamped the Make A Wish greeting inside the newspaper. The main card is a top folding A2 card but the newspaper opens as well. you could even add a gift card in there.

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you are able to snag a My Monthly Hero Kit before they sell out!
