Hero Arts + A Blog Named Hero Holiday Blog Hop and Giveaway!

16 Nov

This is my first post for today!  If you’re looking for the Lawnscaping Challenge please click here!

Good morning!  I am super excited to be participating in a holiday blog hop with the awesome ladies from A Blog Named Hero and the fabulous design team from Hero Arts!  Make sure you read through the entire post for the grand giveaway details!

Here’s my Hero Arts holiday card!

abnh2I wanted to use lots of glitz and sparkly gold for my card…I think I succeeded! 😉

I started off by embossing the mistletoe onto red cardstock with gold tinsel embossing powder.  I stamped the beginning of my sentiment onto a white die-cut circle and embossed it with the same powder.  Next I die-cut a circle from the center of my red panel and inserted the die-cut circle.  I used the leftover white cardstock to die-cut the word ‘joy’ and heat-embossed it with gold tinsel embossing powder to create a glittery die-cut.  I adhered that to my card base and added a few gold sequins and red gemstones to finish my glitzy holiday card!

Giveaway:
