Hooray for summer! No better way to celebrate than to be participating in the Hero Arts 2017 Summer Catalog Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from the blog of the fabulous Amy Tsuruta…
Have you seen the new catalog yet? So many WONDERFUL images and all the items are in the Hero Arts shop right now! I could not decide one set or theme, so I have a few cards to share with you today.
This card was created with the Killer Messages stamp set and dies from the Paper Layering Shark dies. The background I used just may be my new favorite Hero Arts background ever, Brushstroke Bold Prints! This is such a versatile background and I turned it into "water" simply by inking it up with a few different colors of Distress Inks and a few spritzes of water before stamping.
This card is made with stamps from my favorite set of the entire 2017 Summer Catalog, You are Loved Messages. I love each and every sentiment in this set and am sure it will become a staple in my stash. It was developed by Hero Arts and Jennifer McGuire and 25% of the profits from the purchase of these stamps go to the Kind Campaign. I can't think of a better reason to add it to your collection! This card was made with the Love is Love Bold Prints background stamped in Ombre Neon Red to Purple Pad. I cut a heart out of the center and added a contrasting heart background in the center. The tiny little hearts were cut from the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies.
My final card for today is also made with the You are Loved Messages, this time by stamping, coloring and cutting the globe multiple times, and adhering it to the card with foam tape. The message was stamped on black card stock and embossed in white and adhered to the card.
Hero Arts will be giving away three $25 shopping sprees, drawn from comments left across all blogs in the hop. Please be sure to comment by Wednesday, 5/24 at 11:59pm PT and the winner will be announced the following week! The next stop on the hop is the fabulous Yana Smakula and I am sure she has something fantastic in store for you!
