Hero Arts Holiday Catalog Release Blog Hop (+PROMOS & GIVEAWAYS!)

24 Aug

Good afternoon!  The holiday catalog release from Hero Arts is now available and today we’re hopping to celebrate!! I’m sharing a few cards using my favorite products from the new catalog release!  You can find all of the new release products HERE!

I love navy and silver for holiday cards and used that theme for both of today’s cards!  I blended a little Cornflower Core ink onto opposite corners of a panel of white cardstock using a blending brush for a very soft effect.  Then I die-cut the Snowflake Corner Fancy Die from silver glitter and Nautical cardstock and adhered the silver glitter cardstock to the same corners of the white cardstock.  I added a sentiment from the Season Words Fancy Dies die-cut with the same two cardstocks.  Finally I cut apart a few of the Nautical cardstock snowflakes and adhered them around the sentiment!

I love the new Winter Scenics set from Hero Arts as I adore silhouette scenes!  So I stamped one of them onto a panel of Lapis cardstock with Nautical Core ink.  Then I stamped the Hero Greetings Happy Holidays with Nautical Core ink.  I also blended a little Nautical Core ink around the edges and top of the panel.  I blended a little Pitch Black Core ink at the top to really give the scene a lot of contrast.  Finally I foiled the Happy Holidays Foil & Cut around the Hero Greetings to add a little shimmer with some shiny silver foil.  I trimmed the Lapis panel down and adhered it to a white card base to finish the card.

And that’s it for me!  Head over and check out the rest of the holiday catalog release and then make sure to hop along for lots of inspiration!!  And while you’re shopping be sure to take advantage of the releases promos:

To celebrate the release, Hero Arts is giving away three $50 gift cards as a prize to three blog readers selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop so make sure you leave a comment at each hop stop for the most chances to win!  Please comment before 11:59PM PST on Wednesday, August 31st!  You should have arrived from Ilina and Kelly is your next stop!

    The winter scene card is simple, but very beautiful. It makes me feel nostalgic, remembering my childhood when I could see and play with the snow. It brings back great memories!
