Zero Calories, Total Cutest! Featuring Hero Arts Coney Club Collection (Hot Diggity Dog) 🌭❤️
Hello, crafty friends!
Are you ready for a delicious treat that is 100% calorie-free? Today, I’m serving up a fun, summer-inspired card featuring the brand-new June Coney Club Collection from Hero Arts! While hot dogs might not be my personal absolute favorite, they happen to be my father-in-law’s ultimate favorite food!
When I saw this new collection, I instantly fell in love with the adorable hot dog, ketchup, and mustard bottle dies. They are just too cute and perfect for summer greetings. Let me show you how I cooked up this fun card!
1. Creating the Picnic Scene Background
The Sky: I started with a base of Hero Arts Breeze Cardstock to create a clean, crisp background.
The Sentiment: I stamped the clever sentiment, “You’re The Bun For Me,” in crisp black ink using the Many Franks Clear Stamp Set.
The Tablecloth: To give it that authentic backyard BBQ feel, I cut a piece of red gingham patterned paper from the Simple Stories – Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection Kit and adhered it to the bottom to look like a picnic tablecloth.
2. Building the Ultimate Hot Dog & Toppings
The Bun & Dog: I die-cut the hot dog pieces using the Hot Diggity Dog Die Set. For the bun, I used Alabaster Cardstock and blended it with earth-tone inks to give it that perfectly baked, golden-brown look. The actual hot dog was cut from Cinnamon Cardstock, and the paper food tray was cut from Fawn Cardstock.
The Condiments & Cheese: I die-cut the iconic ketchup bottle from Poppy Cardstock and the mustard bottle from Beeswax Cardstock. For the cheese and relish toppings, I used a mix of Alabaster and Saffron Cardstock to add delicious layers.
3. Adding the Finishing Touches
For the main “HOT DOG!” sentiment, I used the Hot Dog Stamp & Cut set. I stamped it in a vibrant red ink, die-cut it, and popped it up using foam stickers for some fun dimension.
Finally, I added a few White Enamel Dots in the background to look like little bubbles or accents, completing this playful scene!
I hope this card brings a smile to your face (and maybe makes you a little hungry!). It’s the perfect way to send some love to the hot dog fans in your life.
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
Happy Crafting, Heejung
