And today, I’m sharing a set of rainbow Christmas cards using the kit!

Rainbow Christmas Cards with Cardstock by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Hero Arts

I have a video for my cards that you can watch below or over at my Youtube channel:

This quick and easy set of Christmas cards is simply created by die-cutting the doves, deer, and tree images from the kit in a rainbow of Hero Hues cardstocks!  The dies are actually coordinating dies for the kit stamps but they’re detailed enough to work as stand alone images!

I used Hero Hues cardstocks in Azalea (I mistakenly referred to it as Peony in the video), Cherry, Papaya, Canary, Kiwi, Paradise, Lapis, and Amethyst and added sentiments stamped on Pitch Black cardstock and heat-embossed with white embossing powder!  Make sure to watch the video for my trick on getting the circular pattern and spacing even!
