Double the Fun: Two Ways with Hero Arts Meadow Blooms

On February 18, 2026February 18, 2026By islandyu

Hello everyone!

Spring is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited to share these two cards featuring the Hero Arts February Release. I’ve been playing with the Meadow Blooms Bundle, which includes the gorgeous Meadow Blooms Cover Plate Die and the coordinating Color Layering Meadow Blooms Stencil.

I wanted to see how these two products work both together and independently, so I created two distinct looks: one focusing on the soft, artistic feel of stenciling alone, and the other embracing the bold, textured look of the die-cut layer.

Soft Pastels & A Mirrored Twist

For the first card, I focused on the beauty of stenciling. I started with a crisp white cardstock and used the Color Layering Meadow Blooms Stencil to create a lush, painterly meadow.

A Happy Accident:

I accidentally flipped the stencil over while working! This resulted in a beautiful floral pattern that is a perfect mirror image of the die-cut version. It adds such a unique, artistic touch.

Finishing:

I used the Spring Tweetings Stamp & Cut Set for the sweet pink bow and “Hello Spring” sentiment. I die-cut them and attached them with foam stickers for dimension, then mounted the panel onto Lavender cardstock.

Bold Dimension with Ocean Side

For the second card, I went for a more dramatic and layered look by combining the meadow blooms stencils with the Meadaow Blooms cover plate die.

The Base:

I stenciled the leaves and flowers (using Wisteria ink) on white cardstock, this time making sure the pattern lined up perfectly with the die.

The Die-Cut Frame: I die-cut the Meadow Blooms Cover Plate Die from Ocean Side cardstock and layered it over the stenciled panel.

Paper Piecing: I also die-cut the plate from Blush cardstock and inlaid some of the pink flowers into the frame for extra detail.

The Details:

For the flower centers, I added yellow enamel dots and oyster gems. The sentiment from the No One Lilac You Stamp & Cut Set was heat-embossed in white on black cardstock and popped up with foam stickers.

It’s amazing how the same bundle can create such different vibes—from soft and airy to bold and sophisticated. Which one is your favorite?
