Hero Arts: Summer Catalog Release, Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi everyone!
It's super exciting day today! The new Hero Arts Mixed Media Summer Catalog just went live and we are celebrating with a hop full of inspiration and giveaways!
The new products are super fun to work with, and  this comes from a person who is not Mixed Media one. 
If you are following the hop you should have arrived from Emily Midgett , and your next stop is Jessica Frost-Ballas
For my first card I used the new Summer Blooms color layering stencil (I think this is my favorite product from the catalog) along with the Luggage Lowercase Alphabet Fancy Dies and Encouragement Sentiment strips.
My second card uses the Go Left woodblock stamp, along with Rough Dots Bold Prints that I stamped using water over Reactive Ink blended background and the Essential Journaling stamp set, and again the Encouragement Sentiment Strips.

Giveaway: Hero Arts will be giving away two $50 gift cards, drawn from the comments left along the hop. Comment on all the blogs for more chances to win! You have until Sunday, May 28 at 11:59pm to enter. The winners will be announced on the Hero Arts blog.
