Hero Arts 2023 Holiday Catalog Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends!! The new Hero Arts Holiday Catalog release is now live!! I love the catalog releases, there’s always a TON of new products and I have a bunch of cards to share!! Plus this release is all holiday themed!!

First of we’ll start with a couple of cards featuring the Tree Pattern Coverplate.

To create this card I first stamped the front of an A2 top-folding white card base with the new Falala Bold Prints stamp in Embossing & Watermark ink. I then poured white embossing powder over and then heat set. Next, I ink blended over the card front with Blue Raspberry, Pool Party, Key Lime Fizz, Green Hills and Pine ink.

I then die cut an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Tree Pattern Coverplate die. I then adhered the panel to the card front with foam adhesive. Next, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Winter Foliage Stamp & Cut XL set in Silver Sparkle embossing powder onto black cardstock. I then trimmed the sentiment down to a strip and adhered to the card front with foam adhesive.

I then finished the card by die-cutting the Tree Pattern Coverplate out of silver glitter cardstock and adhering the stars to the card front with foam adhesive.

My next card featuring the Tree Pattern Coverplate has a similar palette but this time I inlay colored cardstock.

To create this card I first die cut an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Tree Pattern Coverplate die. I then removed the trees and stars and adhered the panel to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base.

Next, I die cut the Tree Pattern Coverplate die out of Kiwi, Meadow, Shamrock, Paradise Adriatic and silver glitter cardstocks. I then inlaid and adhered the colored cardstock trees and glittery stars onto the card front.

Next, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Winter Foliage Stamp & Cut XL set in Silver Sparkle embossing powder onto black cardstock. I then trimmed the sentiment down to a strip and adhered to the card front with foam adhesive.

My next card features the Gold Trim Ornaments Fancy Dies.

To create this card I first ink-blended the front of an A2 top-folding white card base with Forever Green ink. I then pressed some of the ink out onto acetate, added water and then splattered the card front with the watered-down ink.

Next, I die cut several pine sprigs out of Pine cardstock with a die from the Winter Foliage Stamp & Cut XL set. I then adhered the foliage to the card front with liquid adhesive.

Next, I die the ornaments from the Gold Trim Ornaments Fancy Die set out of Coral, Plum, Ultra Pink and gold glitter cardstocks. I then fussy cut several of the accents out and then glued them down onto a base ornament also die cut out of either Coral, Plum or Ultra Pink cardstock. I then adhered the ornaments to the card front with foam adhesive and then stamped and gold heat-embossed a sentiment from the Merry Foliage Stamp Set.

My next card features the Candy Cane Fancy Die set.

To create this card I first adhered an A2 panel of Pesto cardstock to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base. I then ink blended the upper left and bottom right corners with Forever Green ink. Next, I splattered the same corners with watered-down Unicorn Pigment ink to create the look of snow.

Next, I die cut several foliage sprigs out of Meadow, Shamrock and Pine cardstocks with the Winter Foliage Stamp & Cut XL dies. I then adhered the foliage to the card front.

Next, I die cut the candy canes out fo white and Cherry cardstocks with the Candy Cane Fancy Dies. I then adhered the layers together and then added Icicle Pure White Glitter. Next, I die cut a bow out of gold glitter cardstock and then adhered the candy canes and bow to the card front with foam adhesive. Lastly, I finished the card with a white heat-embossing sentiment from the Northern Lights Polar Bears stamp set.

My final card features the adorable Peeking Reindeer Fancy Die.

To create this card I first die cut the reindeer out of Sand cardstock with the Peeking Reindeer Fancy Die to create my base. I then die cut the reindeer again out of Cherry, Meadow, Antique Ivory, Cup O’ Joe, Pitch Black and gold glitter cardstocks to create all my accents and layers. I then fussy cut those accents and layers out and adhered them to my base reindeer.

Next, I trimmed down some Cranberry cardstock to a 1 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ strip and then adhered it and the reindeer to the front of an A2 top-folding white card base with liquid adhesive.

Lastly, I finished the card by stamping a sentiment from the Holiday Season Messages stamp set in Pitch Black ink onto the card front.
