WOW, Tiffany always sets the standards high, but then, so does everyone of my sistas. There's a special bond the Hero Arts hostesses have and most of us have never met. I can remember the excitement of receiving THE email with the invitation to be a HOSTESS. I think we tried to be everywhere and do everything. They are still my sistas.
The Blog Hop starts at Hero Arts and our hostesses will surprise you with some Hero Arts yummy goodies.
HERO ARTS is offering one $25 shopping spree to the
Hero Arts online shop today and one tomorrow.

I love the new stamps. My first card is actually the scrap paper on which I stamped and stenciled my way to a card, really! I tried different colors to see what I wanted to use on a REAL card. I didn't know I was creating a modern Holiday card. Once I really looked at the paper... WOW I liked it, so here is my scrap paper card.
Supplies:
Hero Arts (HA) Snowy Tree Stamp (comes in a die
combo too)
HA stencil
Crossing Waves Stencil
HA Banners and Messages clear set (Warmest Wishes) - older HA stamp set
Distress inks on stencils
HA inks Green Hills and Field Greens for the tree (I used all three layers of the tree, first layer Green Hills and 2nd and 3rd layers Field Greens)
I went crazy with trees and my NEW dies. I couldn't resist the new
Tag Infinity Dies. They come with their own Reinforcements - how cool is that? The largest die-cut on the left is 2 3/4" X 5".
.
Supplies:
Hero Arts (HA) Snowy Tree Stamp (comes in a die
combo too)
A metallic gold ink (I stamped the other layers with black).
Distress inks for grass and sky.
From trees to birds. I used all four inks in
May's Shades of Pink ink set and next time, I used black on the eye portion and started at Bubble Gum. I couldn't help myself after I started on the birds.
This last card I stamped Raspberry Jam on the last two stamps for this set.
I've had this background for years, so I have no idea what I stamps I used.
NOTE: Use your bird die as a template for layering your stamps. Put the stamp in the die and use your MISTI to pick up the stamp and stamp in the exact spot.
