Hero Hostess Blog Hop 2014!!!






Hi Ladies welcome to day three of this fabulous 2014 Hero Arts catalogue release blog hop. I always enjoy this time of year when I get a chance to play with some new stamps and also hop along with all my Hero Hostess friends.

Hero Arts will be  giving away three big prize packs containing an assortment of brand new products from the 2014 catalogue.  For a chance to win, simply comment on ANY of the stops along the hop on ANY day, including each day’s starting post at the Hero Club Blog. The more comments you leave, the better your chance of winning!



If you find a broken link, you'll find a master list of the hop links at the Hero Arts Club Blog . Also, please report broken links to: blog@heroarts.com.



Your next stop on the Hero Arts Hostess Blog Hop is at my talented hosti friend Heather's blog!






Sorry for the long post but I got really carried away with my new stamps and could stop once I had started lol!!  My new favourite set is the gorgeous AC032 Cherish Yesterday cling set. I had great fun getting inky with my Distress Markers to make this simple CAS card.  I stamped the image twice cut out one and put on pop dots for dimension.


With another stamped image I created this book mark, I have laminated it  for strength.


Now for that cheeky Bird stamp D5890, I love the image  and again I have stamped it twice and after masking the first image to make the background. I have also pop dotted the second image to lift the bird from the page.


Now for one of the lovely new floral stamps in the catalogue this year, this is  K5897 Petals of Beauty and I have just inked it with Distress inks and spritzed with water to get this effect.  The edges are stamped with S5885 Five Lined Background  and Old Paper Distress Ink.



I have also decided to do a little giveaway myself to celebrate my Birthday on Saturday, I have this new clear set to give to one randomly selected comment left on my blog,  just become a follower, if you haven't already done so and I will get my DH to draw a name on Saturday 25th (my Birthday)  Good Luck!!!


  Have fun hopping!!!!
