Blog Hop

Hi all!

A few weeks ago I was asked if I would be interested in participating in a Hero Arts Blog Hop and try out some of the new stamps that are being released in their new 2010 catalog (and available at TwoPeas today!). Of course, I said yes! LOL! :)

Here’s how it works… At the bottom of this post, there’s a link to the next person in the blog hop. Click there, see their creation made with some brand spankin’ new stamps, and then follow the link at the end of their post, and so on. So you can go from one blog to another and check out Hero’s new stamps. Pretty sweet, eh?

If one of the Blog Hop links doesn’t work, you can always hop back to the Hero Arts Blog for a list of direct links to all the blogs in the hop!

I’m completely enamored with the large Clings stamps, so I tried out Poppy Background and Dandelion Frame. Paired with the Truly Appreciated sentiment stamp set, they make quick and easy (but elegant) cards. :)

Card 1

Truly Appreciated - Hero Arts Poppy Background and Truly Appreciated stamp sets; Stampin’ up! Baja Breeze and vellum cardstock; Stampin’ Up! Baja Breeze ink; VersaMark ink; American Crafts white embossing powder; Uni-ball Signo Broad white gel pen.

Card 2

Just Saying Hello - Hero Arts Dandelion Frame and Truly Appreciated stamp sets; Stampin’ up! Kiwi Kiss and vellum cardstock; Stampin’ Up! Kiwi Kiss ink; VersaMark ink; American Crafts white embossing powder; Uni-ball Signo Broad white gel pen.

Your next blog hopper is Cathy Andronicou. Have a happy Friday!
