I was really excited to be asked to join in this annual blog hop for Hero Hostesses once again and couldn't wait to get started with the fabulous new 2015 stamps and die. I have made four cards all on a similar theme just so you could see how versatile this fabulous new Hello "Stamp and Cut" (DC151) set really is!!
This first card is made using the die cut Hello layered up on green and then two layers of white card to make it really stand out. I then stamped leaves from the new Stamp your own Plant (CL834) set in various shades of green added the hello cut out , then layered the white card on some more green card for added depth.
This second card is a small 4 3/4 by 3 1/2 size, a little card to put with a gift perhaps! I used some Raspberry Jam, Pale Tomato and Butter Bar HA inks to create the center panel and then die cut the word hello (DC151) saving all the small pieces from the letter centers. I then die cut a second white word, after adhering the panel to my card base I carefully stuck the small centers of the letters in place. Lastly I added a few sequins.
I couldn't wait to use the coloured word left from the last card and quickly made this small note card, I decided to sew the word to the front for a change.
Lastly I made another quick card using the new Tropical Background (CG659) cling stamp, I stamped a panel with Butter Bar ink attached it to my card base and added a row of stitching down one side. Next I stamped my sentiment from the Hello Stamp and Cut set (DC151) in black and added a few sequins.
I hope you have all enjoyed today's Hero Hostess Hop, don't forget to stop by again tomorrow when eight more Hostesses will be joining this weeks Hop and showing you their fabulous creations with new stamps from the new Hero Arts Spring Catalogue.

I love the cards. The frist card is such a wonderful CAS card and I love the white "hello" on it. The second card oozes with color, making me think of rainbow sherbet (I haven't eaten yet).
