Hero Arts Holiday Blog Hop


Welcome to my stop on the Hero Arts Holiday Blog Hop!  Today we are celebrating because all of the new Holiday 2011 stamps are now available in the Hero Arts online store.  Yay!

I've got a couple projects to share using some of these fabulous new stamps. First up is this card...



The trees and sentiment are from the Christmas Reindeers (CL540) stamp set.  And that scalloped border was created using one of the snowflake images from the Snowflakes (CL562) stamp set.

I had an extra tree leftover from my card, so rather than throw it in my scrap pile I decided to make it into a little gift tag to add to a bag.


The tag image used here is one of three cute images from the Christmas Tags (CL554) stamp set.  I will definitely be using this set for my Christmas wrapping this year!

Well, you have reached the end of the hop.  Did your wishlist grow?!?! ;)   Click here to shop for all of the new products in the Joy to You Holiday 2011 catalog.

If you missed any of the stops you can find all the links on the Hero Arts Blog.

And don’t forget about the giveaway! We have new holiday stamps up for grabs! Be sure to comment here and on ALL of the designer's blogs, as well as the Hero Arts blog, for a chance to win.

Have a great day!

I love the dark background and the wonderful shading on this card. They add a sense of drama. The tag is very cool.

I'm sorry this shows as Unknown. The only option that would work for me was "Unknown--Google."

Trees, trees, and more trees. I cannot get enough of them. I love trees in all shapes and sizes. These trees are so cute. Your card is lovely, I especially like the use of kraft paper.

Hello Kelly, I have just found so much inspiration today via your blog and the others in the Hero Arts bloghop.

Those Christmas trees on your cards remind me so much of delicate gingerbread cookies! So yummy, and I want to eat them up! Yes - card making and food are my two obsessions in life!

The candy striped twine on the card is an excellent finishing touch!

Christiana said...

Oh my goodness, I am in love with that card! That is SO my style. Love the color palette, too. They really pop against that chocolate brown. Great tags, too! So inspired!
