Hero Arts: 2021 Catalog Release, Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY

 Hi everyone!

It's exciting day today! The new Hero Arts 2021 release is in the Hero Arts store and it's AMAZING one. I have so many cards to share over the next several weeks using the release, as I don't want to overwhelm you with so many cards today! But you can see the entire release HERE! There are some amazing new HeroScapes, Stamp and Cuts (with BIG word dies, as you can see below) and much more!!!! You will not be disappointed! Also, new Reactive inks, new no line coloring ink pad (Contour), Pigment inks, blending brushes and so much more.

Also we have a GIVEAWAY (Scroll down for more details for that, also for full hop list). 

If you are following the hop you have probably arrived from Emily Midgett's blog and your next stop is Jessica Frost-Ballas. If you just stumbled upon my blog, you can go to the  Hero Arts to start hopping from the beginning. 

I have 3 cards today to share with you and all of them feature the new Stamp and Cut sets with word dies (Love You Stamp and Cut XL, Big Hugs Stamp and Cut and Hello There Stamp and Cut). I combined those with Butterfly Garden Background stamp and the Diamond Infinity Dies

I had so much fun with the diamond infinity dies, that you will see a lot of cards using those in the upcoming days on my blog. 

For my first card I stamped. the background on Pebble cardstock using Embossing ink and embossed using Satin embossing powder. For my other two cards I used the Diamond infinity dies and cut out frames from different colors and then assembled them back together on printer paper and cut them to fit my panels. I did this by securing the diamond dies with tape on the back and running through my die cutting machine.






Prize: Comment on the hop by Wednesday, February 24th at 11:59pm pst for a chance to win one of three $50 gift certificates to the Hero Arts store. The more blogs you leave comments on, the more chances to win!
