Hello and welcome! The new Hero Arts 2024 Holiday Catalog collection is live and we’re celebrating with a blog hop full of inspiration and a giveaway. The new holiday collection is full of everything you need for your holiday projects!
Merry Christmas Happy Holidays
My first two cards are a quick and easy two-for-one pair. I used sprays to quickly add color to a 4.25″ x 5.5″ panel of white cardstock and then I used the new Snowflake Pattern Cover die to cut the panel. I used foam tape to adhere the fall out snowflakes to another panel of white cardstock and then added a sentment.
Behind the die cut panel, I added a white panel of cardstock stamped with the Jingle Bells Script background stamp and then added a sentiment over top. So easy!
Supplies:
- Fuchsia + Gold Two-Tone Metallic Spray
- Blue + Shimmer Tone-on-Tone Metallic Spray
- Snowflake Pattern Cover Plate
- Jingle Bell Script Bold Prints
- Periwinkle Core Ink
- Poinsettia Pattern Stamp Set (sentiments)
- Onyx pigment ink
- Dove White cardstock
Joy To You
My third card features an images made with a new Letter Press and Foil Plate set and the BetterPress system from Spellbinders. I pressed the images in BetterPress inks and then used Copic markers to color them in. To finish, I stamped a small sentiment and glued the panel to a card base.
Supplies:
- Wreath & Finch Letterpress + Foil Plate
- Spellbinders Mulberry BetterPress Ink
- Spellbinders Porcelain BetterPress Cotton paper
- Copic Markers
- Christmas Sentiment Strips Stamp Set
- Onyx pigment ink
