Welcome to the Hero Arts Hostess Hop, featuring fabulous stamps from the new 2015 release!
If you’ve been following along, you’ve just arrived from Kelly's blog!
Today I am sharing three cards using new stamps from the 2015 Hero Arts Catalog!
First up, this card uses the banners from the CL845 Papel Picardo Banners clear set and sentiment from the DC132 "Yes" Stamp & Cut set (the cloud background is using the HA S5215 Clouds - an oldie, but goodie):
The next card also uses the banners from the CL845 Papel Picardo Banners clear set (gotta love banners!):
Last, but not least, this final card uses the wonderful new CG662 Triangle Background cling stamp, along with the heart diecut from the DC132 "Yes" Stamp & Cut set:

I know...I know. It's been a long time. Summer flew by with sports, swimming and vacations. The girls have one more week of summer vacation, then it's back to the school routine around here. I'm ready, but I'm not ready. Does that make sense?!??
Michele is holding an overstock sale until tomorrow. Sorry for the late post on this! You can see projects here showcasing some of the stamps.
This layout is one of my faves from the past. It was a great road trip. It uses the Road Trippin' set that's included in the sale.
Catch you later!

Here's a framed piece I made up that would look so cute as a set for a child's room. I love it so much, I'm using it as my spring/summer decor in my home!

Will be back soon to share more!
Morning! Today I am sharing a post over on the ME Blog. I'm showcasing a trio of projects using the Just Hatched stamp set and matching Creative Cut. Every spring I start to slowly decorate for Easter. Cloches, rusty coffee jars and mason jars hold little bunny and Easter egg scenes:
I was inspired to create a shaker card with an Easter scene, solely based off my decor:
The jar from the Filled With Love die and stamp set from SSS/ME is the centerpiece for this card. I used the matching die to create a scene that's enclosed in a pocket from a baseball card pocket page. I placed the diecut jar into the pocket, then sewed around the die and added sequins prior to sewing it shut.
Here's a mason jar I put together in a flash:
I made this one by using flower foam, toothpicks, Scotch Tape, Easter grass and stamped images:
Adhere the stamped images to toothpicks with tape:
Simply place the flower foam at the bottom of jar, cover with grass, then stick in the stamped images. Wa-la! You have a little mason jar scene. :)
Change out your framed decor with an egg pattern:
I hope I have inspired you to create some Spring decor! This would make a great gift set!
Catch you later!
So this has to be one of my fave sets for sentiments so far. The way Kryssi and Angela incorporated both the typewriter font and Kryssi's handwriting is perfection! This stamp set can be found here.
This CAS card was so fun to make as I fussy cut the "smile" speech bubble after stamping them repeatedly in different colors.
After fussy cutting, I cut the piece out with rounded corners to create a popped up accent. The speech bubbles draw your eye down to the simply placed sentiment.
You can find more goodies created with this fun set here!
Catch you later!
On Point Borders has so many possibilities! I decided to stamp the diamond pattern borders onto springy-colored patterned papers. I then cut them into banner shapes to create this homespun bunting for the sweet owl from Just Hatched to perch on.
The clouds and hot air balloon from Sunny Skies (my favorite set!) made a subtle appearance in the background. The sentiment from Everyday Greetings shows off nicely against the dreamy background that was cut using the Femme Frames die. And that owl? No fussy cutting needed - just pull out the Just Hatched - Creative Cuts die to match him perfectly!
This release has been so much fun! Check out what the others did with this set here!
Catch you later!
This Make a Wish set is amazing! It's larger scale is perfect for cardmaking, but also could work well for scrapbook pages/PL as portions of each sentiment would fit onto the 4x6 or 3x4 cards.
For today's share, I went with a circular card and stacked layers of the Happy Birthday to You sentiment to get this shabby-chic look. I added my distressed edges to the entire look to really give it a homespun feel. A little Ranger Stickles added some glittery shine to the stars (they really don't look gold in true life, just a nice shimmer).
