Welcome to the Hero Arts Launch Party Blog Hop! If you are coming from talented Lucy Abrams‘ blog, you are in the right direction!
This hop is a celebration of the brand new Hero Arts website, which was launched on Tuesday, as well as a creative showcase of the new 2015 Holiday Collection. One of the things that I want to point out is that Hero Arts has a new shipping policy: FREE shipping on US orders of $50 or more! No code needed. Isn’t that great? Anyway, there is more….
••• GIVEAWAY •••
Hero Arts is giving away one GRAND PRIZE $100 shopping spree. The winner will be randomly chosen from all of the blog hop comments received by 11:59pm PST on Tuesday, September 8th. Please check the Hero Arts blog for the announcement of the winner.
Well, for this special occasion I made a couple of cards featuring some of the new products. It was hard to decide which products to use, since all of them are fabulous! At the end I decided to use a pretty woodblock stamp along with a Stamp & Cut set to create this card:
I have to say that the new Ombré inks are simply amazing. I stamped the Poinsettia with Berries woodblock stamp using Lime to Forever Green Ombré Ink…. and I just love how pretty the solid images look! Then, I die-cut the word Joy from layering paper and foamy. I also stamped some complementary words with Black Dye Ink, and I embellished the card with some red sequins 🙂
Here the complete list of supplies to create this card:
Poinsettia with Berries
Joy Stamp & Cut
Lime to Forever Green Ombré Ink
Black Dye Ink
Blush Mixed Layering Paper
Snow Layering Paper
My second card is quite simple and features another fabulous set that belongs to the Kelly Purkey Collection. This set is a 3″ x 4″ clear set called Kelly’s Noel. I also used the Lime to Forever Green Ombré Ink for the pine trees, and Black Dye Ink to stamp the sentiment. This sentiment is included in a 4″ x 6″ clear set called Animal Blessings. At the end, I added some yellow gemstones as embellishment.
Here is the list of supplies of the second card:
Kelly’s Noel
Animal Blessings
Lime to Forever Green Ombré Ink
Butter Bar Mid-Tone Shadow Ink
Black Dye Ink
Blush Mixed Layering Paper
Snow Layering Paper
Now is time to hop over the talented Libby Hickson‘s blog. I am including here the complete list of participants, just in case you you need it 🙂 Please don’t forget to leave a comment on each blog for the chance to win the amazing prize 🙂

My favorite is the word Joy.
